[QUOTE="rushlight, post: 1677983, member: 3801"] If you rotate the map, there is a problem if you intend for your new map to be scientifically acurate with regards to weather patterns. Basically, the flow of air will be drastically different, which will totally change the climate. Mountains will no longer block the air flow, resulting in a radically different climate on the leeward side, and so forth. It might be best to chose a small region from a fairly unknown part of the world (to your players). African coasts would work well, as would parts of the far east. Without political borders, only large continents are easily recognizable. Then you could use your map unaltered. Choosing a map from a remote area, with as small a human population as possible should yield an excellent map for a D&D campaign. Of course, I just drew a map that I liked - science be damned. :) [/QUOTE]
