cool d20 modern maps

[MinscFan]

I've been working on maps for D20 Modern for a series of free adventures I plan on posting on my site, as well as maps for my campaign setting, Prometheus: Earth.

I too prefer artistic maps versus those made from mapping programs like CC2 and Fractal Mapper.

I am working on a set of maps for an Antacrtic research station. Here is the draft of the first level (Deck A) -- note the central shaft drops down to sea water and I have not marked the gangplank yet (brownish circle ringing the central shaft):

Let me know if this is something folks would like more of. I know as a DM I use these like candy -- and, I enjoy making them.

Very Ice Station-esk. That's not a bad thing, I love that book - and the rest he's written (Contest, Temple and Area 7). I'm presuming you've read the book yourself. If not, great minds think alike

So, yes, I'd love to see more of your maps.

BTW, anyone interested in finding out more about these novels (and why not, they're excellent source material for a modern game), can visit the author's website: http://www.matthewreilly.com/Index2.htm

 

[MinscFan]

Yup, I read Ice Station and Temple. I picked up Area 7 and had a harder time getting into it. Maybe his breakneck pace wore me out...

Yes, took the layout directly form his drawings in the book.

Again...for the sake of *bump*

Where are these samples that were promised? I can't find them on your website, and only the 1 is still sitting on RPGnow.

Psion: Did you get it yet? Did you review it?

Minscfan, I'd love to see more of this stuff. My group has just about finished investigating one secret facility. I need to sart on the next. Anything you can point me two will really help me, If you have no problem sharing

 

[MinscFan]

Sure, I'll share.

I should have the four levels of the facility done and the cavern completed in about a week or so. I can send it in PDF format if you send me your e-mail address.

If you are in a hurry, pick up the book Ice Station by Mark Reilly -- it has a line drawing of the facility and a cross section drawing in it.

I am also creating a map for Area 51 from a high res satellite photo. That one will take a little longer...

All of my stuff will be posted as I create it on my Prometheus: Earth Web site (and that will be linked from the Dicefreaks site).

I've got the PE site design and nav done. Once I have some content up, I'll also post the PE Web address.

Hey MinscFan, first...I'd like to say 'good map' to ya. Is that on scale to the map in the book? It just seems HUGE for a dining area in an arctic facility, but I admit I didn't read the book or even know of it.

Second, I'm running a campaign in area 51, and can't WAIT for that A51 map you're talking about. I know you said it would be a while, but when might we see that? I could really use a good map for A51.

Psion, you have given me a great idea. I will send you a copy of the Modern Day Map X, over 70 modern day maps, for free. If you like it just send me an e-mail saying thanks. If not, well at least it didn't cost you anything.

Hey, sounds like a deal to me. Why look a gift horse in the mouth, eh.

I just don't like grids. What can I say, it is a personal thing. [/B]

Oh, I can certainly understand that. It just seems like a pretty significant part of your potential customer base does like them, and in my own personal experience, it is not hard to add a grid overlay to a map, so why not?

Wow - very nice! It's about the same style and quality as you'd see in Polyhedron too.

I'd love to see more if you'd be willing to post them.
