Live Mapping: OSR Dungeons
This style brings back memories. I found a photo of a time when Ernie Gygax visited my house. He was the oldest child of Gary Gygax who was one of the main people behind Dungeons and Dragons. Ernie brought an old map to run a game with. He made it as a child to play his dad's new game. This, by some accounts, was the first player-made map for D&D. These CC3 maps capture the feeling I had when I saw that map.
It's hard to see detail in this photo, but I assure you it looks a lot like Ralf's map. (Note the book in the foreground, which is Ernie's dad's original, hand annotated copy of the 1E Players Handbook.)
I think this style is very pure.

Show us your map collection!
Does this count? I made a simple map of my homeland and engraved it on leather. I traced a screenshot from Google Maps, so the distances are reasonable, but the whale and volcano are my additions. I gave it to my mum.
There's a larger version in my gallery: https://forum.profantasy.com/profile/gallery/11261/KertDawg/415

Kert joins ProFantasy as a CC4 Developer
Thanks for the introduction, @Simon Rogers.
I'm a computer guy from the USA. I've been mapping for a long time, especially with CC2 and CC3. I joke that I started working with XP and interfacing with the ProFantasy team to be nosy, and then they tricked me into programming with them. Touché.
Thanks to the PF team for the welcome. Let's see what we can make together.

Calling for Testers of VTT Export
We have an early version of a VTT export program. I'd like to find some testers to try it out. It handles Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, MapTool, and Foundry. If you want to test it out and give feedback, please shoot me a private message.
It's early and rough, but it works. I'd like to test existing maps, new maps, different templates, and different types of users.
Thank you!
