As I am one of the people currently working on maps I believe that it is appropriate I start the thread for it. Here is my rough draft for the winter smoke range area.  [IMG]http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r31/nerdyninja1/Guildmap1.jpg[/IMG] The code is for the map but use it sparingly if at all possible. I would like for people to critique me and add what you think it needs. As mentioned in my post in the subforum topic this will eventually be bordered by maps on all sides and be an entire planet when finished so tell me if I'm on the right track or going in the wrong direction. Also post your own ideas or discus what jobs need to be done with the map making. coarse

For the most part, that looks pretty good. Couple of things, though.
1) Could we get a key so that we know what everything is? The lakes, rivers, mountains etc. are pretty self explanatory, but the ruin like things and the teepees don't really mean anything to me yet.
2) Maybe some arrows showing the direction of the rivers? Currently, it looks like one of the rivers flows UP through the mountains (SE portion of map) and back down to the base of another mountain (assuming that the river to the NW is flowing SE).
Other than that, seems good. Needs a little refining, maybe the names of places more clearly spelled out and a little fine tuning, but it looks good to me. The key thing is to remember that we need to make our descriptions of places and their names match the maps. It's going to be a nuissance with everybody posting all willy-nilly, but we need to make the world we create line up with the maps, and vice-versa.

Well all that will be straitened out. I will make a key on the side so that it does not take up space on the map(s). When I draw the final copy it will be done in pen and shopped to hopeful goodness. And the Tepees are camps that are essentially places where people have set up townships for exploring or reconstruction purposes. The ruins are the ruined cities of humans after the magic plague set in and destroy most man kind.

Well, as I personally cannot create maps worth the paper they're put on, I have to say that this looks absolutely awesome Nerdyninja. I bow to your mapmaking superiority biggrin
I have taken the code for your map and moved it to the announcement post so that I could consolodate it with the other campain ideas we have already come up with.

I'd like to ask what people would like the names of places to be that I have already put on the map. These are the towns/cities (dots) camps (teepees) and ruins (ruins) so that I can properly label them when I create the final copy. Also if someone has ideas on places where cities or other places should be added or edited post you opinion as well.

As you know((I think)) I am working on a Citidel for the dwarves, It should be at the crossroads a the bottom of your map, But I'm sure I can adjust it to meet your needs, just get back to me.

Graxith would you be able to stand it being the dot to the east (not the one most south-east) and that the actual Dwarven kingdom be in the eastern map?

The citidel is thirbar but I'm not sure what we should call the knigdom...maybe soom other input would help, I prefer to just have seperate clans that only really come together as a kingdom in times of war.

Well, I usually fall back on naming this stuff based on other languages.
Here are several names for the clans and the Kingdom and their meanings.
- Magi = Magic (Norwegian)
- Himmel = Heaven (Norwegian)
- Sacraal = Holy (Dutch)
- Crépuscule = Twilight (French)
- Háború = War (Hungarian)
- Consilium = Wisdom (Latin)
- Argentum = Silver (Latin)

OK I just wanted to ask about something world map keeps getting thrown around and this seems dreadfully short of a whole world so this is more like a continent or "Known World" map correct?
If this was a whole world map I had an Idea that maybe it's not a full world but a moon rotating around the REAL world could get interesting with line of sight telepotation and having to time jumps just right or end up someplace thousands of miles off by teleporting a few hours to late/early.

sry if it took awile, but i do have a decent map that had made for a campaign with my friends. it consists of an entire world rather than just a small portion of a planet, with multiple continents and such.
i do not have the time to post it now, but i will be on later today to post it up and see what people think.
and I'll revise it a bit before i do.
sry its takin a while, my comp is being stupid and wont scan, im workin on it today, if i have the time
