Hi Y'all,

Due to the recent discussions re hex maps, I decided to modify the CC3 Overland Hex style to enable fractal coastlines and islands.

Here's what I did:

1. Changed the sheet order, moving the sea sheets between the Symbol Hex and Borders sheets, added a color key effect and inside glow effect to the sea sheet.
2. Created 2 new drawing tools; a Sea, default fractal and an Island, default fractal.

Here is the .FCW file so you can see exactly what I've done.

The annuals provide some great styles; Par Lindstrom's, Moody Mansions, Modern Journeys (overland), Horror House & Cthulhu City, the 1800's floorplans, the 1930's street map and overland map, Dracula Dossier, Early Modern City. Not to mention, o I won't, the Wild West style if you're playing Deadland SW or Down Darker Trails (Cthulhu). Plenty to keep you busy!

Yeah, the D&D maps of the period, particularly dungeon and floorplans, weren't that flash either. Different times...

The advances in technology over the last few decades, particularly in regards to DTP and digital art programs, and the grwoth of the hobby have certainly changed consumer expectations...

I'll re-check that tower positioning, thanks for the tip. Could not agree more re the quality of the original maps - obviously cartography was not a priority in the production budget! Looks to me like they're the authors own sketches.

Thanks mate. Feel free to do the same, just don't share the ones in the Commission album.
