DMs Guild [Design Notes] Forgotten Realms Travel Guide: Faerûn, Kara-Tur, and Zakhara

I think I'm going to bite the bullet and put one of my maps on the cover of the Travel Guide. Stock art would make a better first impression, since stock art was the only part of this project which benefited from a non-zero budget. But a map is more thematic, even if it isn't professionally made.

This probably isn't the best decision. Then again, spending thousands of hours of free time researching and writing a 700-page campaign setting sourcebook no one's going to read was a bad decision to begin with. In for a penny, in for a pound!

Spell-checking several thousand fantasy names is time consuming. Who knew?

Thankfully, I'm still on track to drop the Travel Guide when WotC's newest Forgotten Realms books go live for everyone in a little over a week.

That's all I've got for now. Back to the grind.

Apparently, I've generated over 68 Gb of material while working on this project. That's more than my ancient computer can handle without moving a bunch of stuff to an external hard drive!

Now I just have to cram everything into a reasonably-sized PDF without crashing my computer again.
