I used Photoshop. The only thing extraordinary about the process is instead of painting the topographical illusions in the terrain, I instead sculpted the the lands in oil base clay on a large sheet of plywood, then scanned it, THEN painted it using "overlay" features in Photoshop. It saves a...

Ya -- and to my anguish the entire Photoshop file, in my long absence and lack of attendance to it, is lost .... no trace of it what so ever on my computer, but or which is why I'm creating a new one modeled from the existing .jpgs of Nyomythia, which I think had many nice elements to it. I've...

Hey Lalato! I'm going to do a very nice step-by-step tutorial and I proceed -- I've got a hunk of clay and just getting started

I'm working on some new ideas for maps -- nothing show right now but things are getting cranked up again.

Ohhhh ... yea hate too had too ... the entire map is like 3 x 4 feet and I wanted to show some of the close up details.

Are these images broken? If so -- why do I see them and other people can't? http://home.comcast.net/~cmccann01/001.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cmccann01/002.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cmccann01/003.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cmccann01/004.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~cmccann01/005.jpg...

and ... well money to actually "print" such large format things keeps too :\

The pastels, the PhotoShop layered pillow embosses, and particularily the roof tops (key) are all very nicely done -- thanks for sharing :)

Basically you need to think in terms of "multimedia". Take what can best be done through non-digital media and combine that with what can be done with digital media. To often people try to do everything on the computer. Or they do it all by hand and thus there is the "Ye Olde Map Look" which can...

Mid-hundreds. Or less if for a published work project.

I spent a little time this weekend changing 3 things; the font styles, adding “mystical places”, and adding subtle image of castles in territory to denote seat of the Crown for each country. I think it’s been a major improvement. Here is a low resolution image of a portion of the board:

I'm not seeing that they are broken -- I click a link and am able to go right to the page , hmmmm -- moderator, help? Ah Bastion Press won't mind if you slip me a url to a web shot -- cmccann01@comcast.net

Here are several print-size views of the board game map in its current form. The Photoshop doc. is about 300 Mb at 150 dpi -- 150 dpi is still pretty good for print quality. This as a game is such a hybrid; combination RISK!, Civilization, Magic The Gathering and other hodge-podge ideas. The...

Hey Latlato good to hear from you! To Tampa area is the plan -- first I have a mission to complete in Tallahassee -- at least -- 2 -- more -- years -- ahhhh

Here is a very low res print size screen shot of the map as it's developing. Showing are hexagon shipping movement treatments. I am weeks away from printing it out and play testing it -- lostening to players to begin seeing what can be done with CARDS, SEQUIENCE OF PLAY, and WHAT TERRITORIES...
