D&D General Map I made this week

[Bitbrain]

I’m beginning prep to run a new Mystara campaign and decided to make a map of my home game interpretation of the setting:

Took me the better part of three days and while there are numerous differences from canon, I’m very pleased with the overall result.

The map itself is quite large in real life. 27 x 34 inches grid paper (as I don’t have access to Hex-paper currently). Mix of colored pencils and pens.

Also, for some reason, I drew all the rivers in straight lines. Wasn’t really aware that I was doing it until it was all finished.

Enjoy!

Always love a large map.

It almost looks quilted, which is kind of a cool look.

Probably because I didn’t apply much pressure with the colored pencils, because there was a lot of paper to color in.

What system are you using? edit: derp, probably 5e
Starting in Karameikos?
Any modules that you plan to use?
just curious

What system are you using?

5e. Its the game system I like best.

Starting in Karameikos?

Depends on what nation the players want to start with, although I’ve already told them I won’t be starting them in either Hule or the Viper Tribe, because those two are the overt bad guy nations. Their PCs can originate from those nations as refugees if they want, but I definitely won’t be starting the PCs there.

Any modules that you plan to use?
just curious

Sadly, the only Mystara-specific module I have is M3 Twilight Calling. Good module for worldbuilding off of, but rather more high-level than I need right now, so I’m gonna have to come up with my own.

Oooh, I didn't know a DM's version was coming! I hope he'll post about it here.
