A desperate request

[Parduz]

Hi to all from a new, italian member (so, pls, sorry for my poor english).

I HATE to start my membership with a request, without any previous contribute to the community, but i'm really desperate.

I've bought the italian version of the Red Hand of Doom. The shame is that one of the best product for the 3.5e is published in B/W, the "worst" format available for a fantasy adventure.

Now, i'm the DM and my players are my sons (9 and 11 years) and a cousin 14 years old.

This leads to a problem:
1) The youngeer players NEEDS to see colorfull images: it is the "engine" of theyr growing imagination. They don't needs "stats", but a good image followed by good description.
2) They can't still chew anything in english.
Talking about the maps of RHoD, i have B/W italian maps, or colorful english maps.... it is really a shame.

So, i'm asking... no, i'm begging for a map of the Elsir Vale, or any other related map without labels, or with editable labels.
I've seen somewhat in an older post, but the unlabelled maps links does not work anymore.

I'm an experienced CorelDraw user, and i also know Paint Shop Pro, so i should be able to work on any layered map if i can import them in these softwares.

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Sure.
Here are the RHoD images in color:

And here are the maps:
Red Hand of Doom Map Gallery

These maps are in english. I'm searching for the Elsir Vale map (and i hope also the Lord Koth map) without any text, so i can write the names in italian.

I think you're probably out of luck, then. I dunno, short of a bit of photoshop work to edit the images, your best bet would be to fire off an email to the Wizards of the Coast customer service people, asking for help.

You'll have to create an account, but then you can send an email to WotC.

Ah, sorry. I misunderstood what you said. Must be because english isn't my main language either .

Anyways, how soon do you need it? I could make you a map that is in the style of those old 2e maps if that's okay?

 

[Parduz]

Blackrat, i'm not able to thank you enough.
Any help will be really apreciated, and (even if i dont remember the 2e style) i'm sure that it will be great.
I think i'll start the adventure in a couple of week, but i don't want to put any pressure to you.

Thanks again!

 

[Blackrat]

The style would be something like this:

That's a map I did for one of my games. If you like it, let me know and I'll proceed making the Elsir Vale map without any labels.

 

[Parduz]

Blackrat, it will be great.
I don't know how you'll do that map, so i don't know if it is possible to "hide" the hex grid (it "ruins" your map art imo) but this is a really minor thing and i can greatly live with the hexes anyway.

(edit) I mean that i understand that the map is built with hex tiles: i just like more a forest without "hexes" inside. But really don't bother about this if your mapping program can't or your taste feel it necessary.

I have no words to thank you enough for your kind offer.

 

[Blackrat]

Actually, that one has the hexes on in it because I needed them for the game, but I was already thinking of dropping them from the Elsir Vale map . So yeah, I can turn them off.

I'll get on to it on my spare time. You might expect result by the weekend.
