  • Shadows of Yog-Sothoth

    Hi Folks,

    As I've started (March this year) getting into Call of Cthulhu, a friend and I went halves in the 40th Anniversary Classic Edition 2" Box set which includes a wealth of goodies and is a re-printed version of the 1981 2nd edition of the game and a handful of supplements, one of them being the eponymous, Shadows of Yog-Sogothoth; a globe trotting campaign to save humanity from the Old Ones deprivations...

    Anyhow, I'm going to run this for my gaming group and thought I'd update the maps for it. I'll post their WIPs and final versions here.

    To begin with, the initial ground floor of the mansion used as headquarters for The Silver Twilight... this is scaled for VTT use...

    Thank you everyone for your comments, suggestions and encouragement.

    This is by far the biggest city map of the 2 I've done to date and I learnt a lot from the experience (and also from @Ralf's current Live Mapping sessions). The next one(s), if there are more, will be better planned and less of a headache. I'm guessing they'll be for the publishers, Classic Fantasy setting book and will likely be done in the Mike Schley City style (the overland map is...).

    I've submitted all 8 maps. I went for the centre option for the key on this one more to balance empty space than any other reason.

    Okay. This is it, this bad boy is done. But I do have a question for the brains trust; do you prefer the Key in the centre or off to the right?

    The end draws near...

    Still to do:

    1. Re-draw the farms in the N, they're too small, each should be around 5 acres (my sister and brother-in-law had a small farm at that size and it seems about right) plus add some in the S, SW.
    2. Number and create a key for the main thoroughfares.
    3. Add some vegetation to the spar and relocate the building on it to its correct location.
    4. Adjust the text to make it a bit more readable.
    5. And Finito!

    Well, this is a bloody slow process. Thankfully the publisher's not in a hurry!

    Here is another update. Hopefully, I'll get this finished this week while I'm isolating after testing positive to COVID late last week. The wife and I are fully vaccinated, so thankfully are illness' were only mild...
