I've pretty much completed the hideout underneath the old fishery now. Here is the latest WIP.

I'll copy the tweaks back into the main level, finish that and then post completed Roof, Ground Floor and Hideout maps together.

Again, a higher resolution copy is posted in my gallery.

I subscribed to White Dwarf from 1984 until well after it had dropped all RPG content, bought quite a lot of back issues for specific articles and scenarios as well.

The 'old school' RPG maps in White Dwarf were very colourful and detailed for RPG publications of that era. They tended to have 2-4 colours for outdoor areas, or as the background fill. The lovely maps were one of the main attractions of White Dwarf to be honest. Sci-fi games like Traveller, Paranoia and Judge Dredd had particularly nice maps.

Outdoor locations tended to have detailed black line art on the coloured background.

The indoor section of the maps was always white floors and black walls, to stand out from the coloured background.

I've still got all those White Dwarf in my parents' attic, but unfortunately can't get to them due to covid restrictions! Otherwise I'd take a photograph of a few pages containing maps to show you.

So I've acquired some small snippets from maps out of issues that I definitely own to show you the style they used.

Snippet of a map from a White Dwarf D&D Ninja scenario - this was in White Dwarf 59, which was the first I ever bought in September 1984, everything earlier that I own was a back issue.

I'm trying to get some of my battlemaps finished this weekend, especially this one, as I've taken far too long doing it - mainly due to distractions and also tweaking the sheet settings and symbols to see what happens.

Here's this afternoon's update. ?

I think that your map looks great, including the East coast. Most of the UK East Coast is pretty straight as well.

That's brilliant @Lillhans.

Would you mind sharing your fractalize settings?

I don't ever remember seeing any other CC3 map that's managed to create that Photoshop 'fake hand-drawn' so well.

I'm looking forward to seeing your final map. ?
