fantasymaps.wordpress.com is gone -- any backups?

[aboyd]

The beautiful maps @ the fantasymaps site are gone. I've searched Google for site mirrors, and found none. I've searched archive.org for backup pages and found none.

In particular, I really need their Greyhawk hex map (don't bother to click, it really is a broken page; I just put it there in case the URL helps anyone to find the map I need). Does anyone have a copy?

Are all these wonderful maps lost forever?

What program was used to make this map?

What program was used to make this map?

Judging by the tiles, AKS HexMapper w/ the 'old school' tile pack.

I have absolutely no idea (I just used a bit of google-fu to try an locate the map in question).

Looks like jdrakeh might be right though.

Looks like jdrakeh might be right though.

I'm 99.9% sure that I am. I use AKS HexMapper and that same tile set (combined with PhotoShop) to make my own maps. Here's one such map:

I used the "broken land" tiles for my mountains while the Greyhawk mapper used the "marsh" or "swamp" tiles for their grassland regions. It also looks like we made different choices for desert. So those regions look a little different but, otherwise, you'll see that both maps use identical tiles.

Nifty.. where does one get the old-school template?

Guys, thanks so much! Your Google-fu is greater than mine.

That was exactly the map I hoped for.

It was in the "files" section of the Yahoo Group, along with another 'old school' tile set and the tile set that EN World's hong used for his Britannia 3e maps (scroll down the page).
