Mapping the Nentir Vale

crazyred · Feb 25, 2009

There's so much stuff in the Nentir Vale unexplored! I thought it'd be fun to map some of it out!

D&D Doodle

Let's see some of your maps!

I have no map to contribute, but I just wanted to say I really like your isometric town drawings! It makes imagining the town much easier than the standard top-down town map.

Great maps! I love the perspective.

Aren't you guys sweet!

Yeah, I've always liked illustrated adventures, like .... was it Tomb of Horrors that had the "step-by-step" drawings? H2 also has a great "visual aid" index.

That Winterhaven map is way better than the original! (Still a bit underpopulated though!)

Those are great maps, and so much better than the CAD maps that are so prevalent today.

Who are you, and why haven't you been posting these things for years?

Have you been over to The Cartographers' Guild yet?

Thanks for the props, brothers!

CAD maps? I like to see those, link please?

Re: Winterhaven -- do you mean underpopulated in that the streets are barren? Or do you think it needs to be a bigger town? Myself, I think Winterhaven was pretty poorly conceived (thus the wood wall and my putting Padraig off on a hill). I have another Winterhaven in the works which'll be color and with little NPC's scattered around.

I like the Cartographer's Guild Nytmare! Thanks for the link, can't wait to explore more!

Nice work. I look forward to seeing your next "doodle".

(By the way, I sent you a private message here on ENWorld.)

Thanks for the note! Y'know, I think you're right on both points. It does seem a little small, doesn't it? And I agree, the manor would be easier to defend as part of the whole town. Plus, reworking it a bit to include Padraig will give me a chance to draw it up. Maybe I'll do that while I'm watching last night's Lost...=)
