Normally, you shouldn't need to change anything, as the tools and sheets should be set up to make everything just work unless you are trying some more advanced techniques.

Looking at your screenshot, I notice the Sheet setting for the tool is blank. The default setting for that particular tool should be LAKES*.

With that setting blank, it means that CC3+ will NOT attempt to put it on the correct sheet automatically, meaning you'll have to take care of things manually. Basically, that means you need to set the sheet to LAKES manually before starting drawing. I see it is set to LAKES currently in your screenshot, so assuming that your landmass is indeed on the LAND sheet, it should work right now, but if you change the currently set sheet, it will go to that one instead.

If it doesn't, confirm that your landmass is indeed on the LAND sheet, as rearranging sheets won't do a thing if entities aren't on the appropriate sheets.

Basically, use Info -> List on your landmass to check it is on the LAND sheet, on the lake to check that it is on the LAKES sheet, and that the sheet ordering is with LAND appearing higher up in the list than LAKES.

And to add what Loopysue said, make sure that your rivers and lakes really are on those sheets. They won't automatically go there even if you have sheets by those names, where they go is determined by the setting in the drawing tool.

You can always check witch sheet an entity is on by using the the List command from the Info menu, or simply hiding all other sheets than the one you wish to inspect.

Try right clicking the zoom button and do a zoom to all text. Assuming there is any text in the map at all, just click one of the entries to zoom to it. Then try Sue's procedure again.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this little festive challenge.

I've now added a poll to the first post where you can vote for your favorite card. Please go vote everyone, also those that didn't participate.

And as usual, please don't despair even if you end up with zero votes. The number of people who votes are usually so low that all zero votes means is that none of those few people had you at the top, not that they didn't like your card too.

I've always found that approach a bit jarring for my tastes. Part of the fun of playing in an established setting is that both the DM and players have a shared knowledge of that world, visiting places you know from books and other material and enjoy the familiarity. Of course, that is also the curse for the DM when he hasn't read everything.

Of course, not everything in FR or any other published campaign is detailed down to the life of every NPC and location of every Flumph, so when I do DM these settings, I make sure to stay in places where both me and the players can carve out our own path, keeping the rest as background and occasional visits. And also staying ahead of the timeline of official material, allowing you to introduce changes without conflicting with the material. The last time I DM'ed FR, it didn't go so well for the place ;-P
