I think this is great. This sort of tells a story on its own.

I almost hate to say this, so please forgive me. I think a few clouds would give the map some extra depth, make it more vertical. It certainly doesn't need it, but I wanted to share the idea.

Again, great work!

OK, first off: This is excellent. I was immediately intrigued. That's a big part of any map: "Why should I keep looking?" You answered that one!

So, I have to ask this: Which part of PA? The inhabitants of each of the two halves would probably behave very differently in such a setup. It's a fun situation.

Great work!

Congratulations! I for one think that's a big deal. Here's to 1000!

(I was going to write, "Oh, I don't think these things are important," and then write 2 more messages to follow up. 😆)

@Monsen I was going to type something here, but you said 100% exactly what I do.

I'll add that many commercial modules have 2 maps: 1 with labels and 1 without. One is for the DM and one is for a handout. You might also consider "fog of war." How do you handle what the characters cannot see yet? I have covered the maps with blank paper to hide what's around the corner, and I've also tried printing each small area on different papers so I can tile them together when the party can see an alley, etc.

BTW, Dioramas 3 comes in handy here!

Once I'm done doing this, I don't delete the image just in case I want to revisit it and not have to reimport and reposition it. However, simply hiding it where it is means that it's in the way. If you ever have to use "show all" sheets, it's back and in the way.

Instead, I move the image sheet to the bottom so it doesn't show, and it doesn't matter if it's visible. If I ever need it again, I can move it back to the top, and it will be in the same position and scale.
