Message: <blockquote data-quote="Axegrrl" data-source="post: 1437348" data-attributes="member: 17584">error messages....I tried to submit a ratings and got the eror "You can't access this file directly...". Also, the "home page" links return the error "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." And I noticed that two of the jpegs are in zip files, even though putting them in zip files does not change the file size. The maps of the city and keep are missing scale bars. One can sort of guess at the scale, but I'd really prefer to know how big stuff is.You might also make the maps available at two different resolutions: one for on-screen previewing, similar in size to what you've got now, and one that's significantly larger for printing or for zooming in to see the details. Another possibility: include maps that have some buildings labeled. This could be a real boon for some GMs, while other GMs would rather decide which building is what for themselves. For the latter group, unlabeled versions should be available. I'd use Photoshop to create something like that; all the labels can be on a separate layer to make producing the different variants easily. Specific comments on the Medieval Church map: - Only one door? - No place for the clerics/priests to don their vestments? Usually, there's a small room behind the altar (the vestibule) where the priests would don their robes of office before a service. The vestibule often had its own door. An excellent reference/resource for medieval floor plans is Heck's Pictorial Archive of Art and Architecture, published by Dover, ISBN 0-486-28254-6. The price on my copy is $11.95. You mentioned you'd like any submitted maps to fit into the Hill Lands -- is there a base map of the Hill Lands somewhere on your web site, so that prospective cartographers can find out what kind of terrain and vegetation are present in the area?</blockquote>
