This issue of the 2021 Cartographer's Annual has just been published, so here is the full development example map to round off the end of this thread.

Ok. I think that will probably be a bit too small to look good.

I've trimmed it to work as a symbol, but I'm not sure it will look all that great on a background that is different to the one it began its life on, but if it works it works, and if not, it doesn't.

Are you looking for a nebula symbol, or for a complete image to use as a background?

I have a relatively simple nebula image (not a real one, but one I made in GIMP). You could have this one, but I don't know if it is what you are looking for. It would have to be a background image only as it isn't a seamless texture.

If you do want it, let me know what size (it's square).

Here is the 'basic bones' list of buildings for a standard annual issue city. For 2 issues there will be quite a few more than this in the end, so suggestions for other inclusions are welcome, as well as suggestions about the look of the style.

• Huts (2)
• Houses, Rectangular (4)
• Houses, L-shape (2)
• Houses, T-shape (2)
• Houses, X-Shape (2)
• Special Buildings: Town Hall (1), Temple (1) and Villas (2)
• Tower, Square
• Tower, Round
• Tower, Square with Roof
• Tower, Round with Roof
• Bridge, Stone
• Bridge, Wood
• Bridge, Rope
• Town Wall (simple) 20' section
• City Wall (more elaborate) 20' section
• City Gate
• Wooden Pier
• Well
• Trees (3)
• Rock Outcroppings (2)

Hi Everyone! :)

Welcome to another new style development thread!

This time I will be working on a City style that is intended to be similar to the Darklands overland style in flavour, and to be published as two parts in September and December this year.

So, first off, I would love to know what you would like to see in a city version of this style.
