[QUOTE="Mythmere1, post: 1944777, member: 26563"] What maps would you want to see? The area around a village, with a couple of roads or tracks, some forest, and few features that look interesting but aren't described. Maps that include diagrams like the one with the hanging egglike thing. Maps with cities drawn in as little pictures, not as circles. The artistry and the creativity of the map is what's key. If I'm using a map as a tool, it's because the map itself gave me an idea and sparked my creativity, making me want to bring it to life with a story. 2) What genre would you want? Fantasy only, on my part. 3) How much info do you want? None. As I mentioned above, the purpose of a purchased map is to spark my creativity. 4) Would black and white maps be useful or do you want color? Black & white. 5) Please let me know if there is anything you'd like to see that I haven't mentioned! Needs a grid. This isn't just me - Necromancer Games had new maps drawn of their Rappan Athuk dungeons and posted the new maps on the web because there were so many complaints about the fact that the maps didn't have a grid. LEAVE OFF THE SCALE, THOUGH. Here's how I'd use them. Make two photocopies (or prints). Key one of them. Give the other to the players with no key. I'd even make sure, when you advertise it, that you tell prospective buyers that the maps are suitable as player handouts. That's why a DM will pay for a map. Could you contact me at mythmere at yahoo dot com? I'm doing a pdf myself that needs maps. [/QUOTE]
