I've been wanting to release a book of maps for role players, but I need some input to make sure it's something that you would want. Most of the maps will be drawn by hand and I'll make some of them available to the EN World forum for critiques. 1) What maps would you want to see? I draw...

As a matter of fact, this happens to be one of my pet-peeves as well. Dungeons maps seem to be drawn without any logic, and are more of a collection of rooms and hallways than actually having a purposeful layout. Obviously there are some places that are illogical by nature (caverns for...

Sunaj2k3: Thank you for the compliment, and I'm glad my style is appreciated. Most gamer's seem to respond positively to my maps, I guess it's just the perfectionist in me that wishes they were more authentic-looking. I'm working with a couple of friends to get a website up and running, but...

First things first: Cthulhu's Librarian, thanx for the compliment and I'll try to put it on the last page of my car's site (the only other place I can put it right now, see my sig for the link). Be aware that it's scanned from a 8.5x11 reduction of the original, but the detail is still decent...

A note to the reader: In this post I'm focusing on published works, and am by no means picking on any computer artist/cartographer. Not everyone has the time, patience or skill to make detailed maps by hand, and I've seen many fantastic maps/floorplans done on the computer. I'm merely asking...

Maybe if I scrolled down before posting that.... Ok, I'm getting off to a gooood start :o OK, it looks like my maps are too large to attatch, someone please tell me how to make them smaller. I'm going to try to attatch a couple of small sketches to see if it'll work... BTW, I have done...
