[QUOTE="MythandLore, post: 198584, member: 180"] If I had the time... None that I know of, but I'll show you what I did tonight while working on just that problem. I did it in photoshop. I'll show you what I was doing and maybe it will give us some ideas. It's still is a nightmarish task. You can see scans of what I did here: [url]http://mythandlore1776.tripod.com/mapideas/[/url] (it seems we can't do attachments again) 1) Okay first I scaned a map of silverymoon from the forgotten Realms, it has a pop of 26,000 2) Then I added to it more buildings to about triple it's pop to around 75,000 3) Then I added to it more to about double that to around 150,000, This could be a good way to figure out how we have to make the citys on the maps. 4) Then I scanned in a small map. I think we should do the maps like #3 just to give a good idea of the feel of the city and it landmarks, then do close up veiws like #4 around important areas that people are likely to play around. This is a big task, they used to make whole box sets around ideas like this. So pretty much using the population of a city and thumbnail drawings of were things are placed in it, we could probably pull off some useable maps. Well, at least I think we 'could'. So what do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
