  • Call of Cthulhu Campaign Maps

    For my sporadic CoC group, we've just started the Fungi from Yuggoth campaign using the Curse of Cthulhu version. The original campaign was written 40 years ago or thereabouts and it shows. So I've decided for fits and giggles to re-do the maps in CC3+.

    The first series of maps will be Baron Hauptman's castle - one of the key villains, a vile sorcerer intent on bringing about the end of the world as we know it...

    The campaign is set in the 1920's, so it will be an interesting prospect.

    This 1st WIP is of the exterior of the castle (no current map in the adventure, just an illustration), next will be the upper floorplans, followed by the dungeons/catacombs.

    Who knows, once I'm done with these three, I might send them to the folk at Chaosium and see if they're interested...

    Great tutorial Ricko. It takes me that long just to get started!

  • Live Mapping: 1930s Street Maps

    Ok folks. Here is the final version of The Rocks, 1923. Feel free to use for your home games if you ever get to Cthulhu Down Under!

    Thanks to you all for your comments and suggestions, particualrly @Ralf: that tip re Circular Quay looks heaps better. I changed the colour of the glow on the text as well, it's hard to notice at this resolution but it does make a difference.

  • Live Mapping: 1930s Street Maps

    Alrighty. Apart from trimming the grid to the "border" this is done as far as the mapping is concerned.

    I am flumoxed as to why only a few streets show the a grid reference, which is incorrect BTW. I've attached the .FCW as well. If anyone can explain what I've done wrong and/or how to fix it that would be much appreciated.

    The different feels to each of the maps is amazing. I don't know which I prefer.

    Come on mate, you know you have to do it, give us a Mike Schley version...
