Yes, there's always a new annual. Quoting from the Bonus Annual Issue – Random Hand-drawn Dungeons blog published today:

"Annual 2026 subscribers should have received their re-subscription offer for the Annual 2026. Please contact us, if you haven’t received your email."

That first date should be 2025. I've let Ralf know.

It looks really good :)

I was momentarily confused by the name Teufelsmeer until I realised that a meer was probably a sea (as the French is mer). If I had any suggestions it would be to make a more obvious difference between the land labels and the sea labels - perhaps make the sea labels a little paler blue?

Hi Jeff :)

Welcome to the forum. We'd love to see your work as you progress, and if you have any issues or things that aren't clear you can always ask.

I wouldn't know the answer to your first question, but the second one - yes, it's still relevant. The default value is 4 million. Use EXPORTSETMPPP to see the value, then enter 40000000 (40 million), which increases the number of pixels per pass tenfold. It makes everything much faster.

The default was left that low because even these days there are still some old PCs out there that can't handle the larger size.

I have the same situation as you. I think it may be down to a couple of files that are probably missing from the installer, so I've alerted Tech Support to the problem.

That's a really huge job - especially turning them all different colours as well.

Looking good so far :)

I love how everyone either completely missed my blooper in saying "...right hand margin..." when I meant left margin, or decided not to say anything! LOL!

Thank you - I've put it right now.

Once you have used that drawing tool once the settings file it uses will be the default option if you then use Symbols Along from the Draw menu.

Then you can pick your line and alter the settings for this set of symbols along. Here I have made all the symbols 150% original size and switched off Use Sym Width so I can put 50 (map units) Between Symbols in the Distance pane.

The left line of bushes is the original drawing tool, and the right line of bushes was created using Symbols Along as described.

I've had a look at the designs on that page, and from what I can see (I may be a bit blind at this time of the night, however) its basically the yellow basket sign that you may not be able to find among the myriad symbols available here at Profantasy.

Fortunately for you this sign is a very simple 2D drawing of a side view of the basket, and should be fairly easy to recreate with a few curves and polygons done in solid yellow fill. It wouldn't be too hard to make your own just by drawing the first one on a blank map and turning it into a symbol yourself.

Like I say, its a bit late in the night for me right now (in fact its nearly 5 am), so I won't even attempt to give any specific instructions right now, but its all in the Tome of Ultimate Mapping in quite marvellous detail.

It's really great work from Ute Gundacker. I hope I have time to play a bit soon.
