Maps of Krynn
Hi everybody.
I've done 2 maps of Krynn (again). The first one is using the current map of Krynn, the second map is using the original map of Krynn from DL11.
Someone in the forums asked the question, "What is your favourite setting." These maps illustrate why no published product is a favourite setting of mine. Give it a few years and someone can come along and change the setting you have been playing in for 10/20/30 years. This is why there is no such thing as cannon in D&D. You can only have cannon if you have consistency.

New style for the same ol map
Hi Everybody
I've started a campaign in my own campaign world and decided to redo the main map of the greater adventure area. That led to me doing 2 more maps of it in different styles.
The first map is using the new Ancient Realms revisited. I thought this style would suit the map and it would be fairly quick to finish it.
Then I found the original map I drew for the campaign world 39 years ago and decided to make a copy as exact as I could using the Ancient Realms revisited because that style is the closest to what I drew all those years ago that ProFantasy has. It's also interesting to see how I've changed the map features over the years (usually to fit in with some adventure), and how in some ways it hasn't changed much at all.
I've also uploaded a copy of that original map.
The third map is the same area but in Sue's Spectrum Overland. I've always wanted to do the map in Sue's style as Celestria is a land of perpetual Autumn (Fall) and Sue's symbols for the autumn forest are just so brilliant. This map is probably the closest to what the area looks like that I've done.

The Lands of Abanasynia
Here is the finished map from DL3. The original map did not match exactly with the features from a map from DL1 (Dragons of Despair), so I added the extra features from the DL1 map to the large DL3 map. I added the terrain and some forests, a lot of place names which were not on the maps but are described in the module's text. I also tried to tidy up some features. This map uses Sue's Darklands style with some Mike Schley symbols.
I can run the Dragonlance campaign from level 1 to 8 or 9 with just this map, I'll have to write some early adventures before we get into the modules. It covers the story from the book "Dragons of Autumn Twilight. (plus a little bit more) DL1 to DL4.
Here is a close up of the map which will be the adventure area from levels 1 to about 5 or 6 with the completion of the first module DL1 and the begging of DL2.
I hope you enjoy them.

Bone Hill and Environs
Here is my attempt at 'The Secret of Bone Hill' module maps from the L series of modules from 1981.
I was inspired by pkfrye's map in his gallery. I produced the wilderness map using Mike Schley's style. Originally it was going to look too much like pk's map, so I changed which tools I was using and tried to base it on an Ordnance Survey map style using the contour lines from the original map.
Restenford is the first city/town map I have finished. I have begun others but am struggling creating decent looking cities so I though if I trace a map it may help with my own creations. I used the default Bitmap A style for this.
Comments and critiques are most welcome.

City on the Coast
Hi Everybody,
In my campaign atm there are two major cities and there have been mumblings of going to one of them, so I thought I'd best do a map. Here is the city of Coulois, a modest city of about 6,000. It is renowned for its craftsmen and craftswomen, and its culture and learning academies.
I also love putting Easter eggs into my maps, and I'm going to claim the biggest Meta-game Easter egg in the history of RPG's on this map.

Polar Lands redone
Hi everybody,
I did this map ages ago as part of my world map project, but the reception was rightly critical of it. It didn't look right to me when I posted it and the community confirmed this. I have had a couple of goes at it but still wasn't happy with the map. This is what I've come with this time.
