    You're welcome, SkidAce. I just hope I didn't cause too much of a headache with the wrong answer first.

  • Live Mapping: Cosmographer System Map *** NEW second attempt ***

    This week in Live Mapping, Ralf will be creating a star system map in Cosmographer's Traveller System style.

    Come along and join in the chat live on Youtube here:

    (The correct date and time for your area are shown in the left column of the main forum page)

    This thread will not be monitored during the show, but is a good place to discuss the show either before or after the event.

  • Thinning out Styles

    If you mean the end of year installer that contains all that year's annual issues (12-13 separate issues), then no.

    All your favourites should be easily picked out of the list of templates in the New Map Wizard. Are you having difficulty finding things?

  • Numbering/Labeling Conventions thread

    I was taught (several decades ago now) that you numbered the municipal buildings and churches first, then the features of interest like parks and historic sites and finally the local landmarks - waterfalls, etc. However, given the same map two different cartographers would probably number it quite differently according to their personal opinion on which of the features or which of those groups is more important than the others. So in the end it boils down to what Wyvern said:

    As long as your labelling is clear and unambiguous, and makes sense to you, I'm not sure anything beyond that is altogether important.
