WIP: Kariss, Isle of the Purple Towns
Hi Folks,
Continuing with my mapping of Elric's Young Kingdoms I present my initial work on Kariss, the Isle of Purple Towns first, and some say only, capital. For the cities of The Isle of Purple Towns (and quite possibly all the cities in the YK), I'm sticking with CA25 Fantasy Cities.
I've had a bit of fun creating hatchure lines for the elevations which took up the majority of my time this evening.
The 1st pic shows with the reference bitmap, the second without. The hatchures aren't perfect but I think they'll suffice.

Possible map for roll20 game
Using a 'published' setting is fine, particularly when the setting has plenty of room for the GM and players to add their own space.
For example, my upcoming Elric of Melnibone campaign is set in the Young Kingdoms which is a well known setting. The various supplements for this setting, and indeed, Michael Moorcock's own works provide only general, not overly detailed descriptions of the primary locations, so there is plenty of room for us to move without worrying about 'canon'.
I'll be using the MRQII rule set and setting books but adapting scenarios from various editions of Stormbringer, modifying them to suit whatever is happening with the group. One campaign I'd like to run is Stealer of Souls+The Black Sword which has the PCs helping a young woman exact vengeance against Elric, and the merchants who hired him, for killing her father. I'll be using the plot and locations but changing the names and so on as my campaign will be taking place prior to Elric sitting the Ruby Throne...
