[QUOTE="weem, post: 4781393, member: 9470"] A few months back (March), I presented a map I had made and asked whether or not the map and the format I used was compelling enough for people to use it should I do more. That post can be found here... [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/252082-quick-encounter-rooms-would-you-use.html[/url] ...the answer seemed to be yes. Eventually in the conversation, I decided this might be best to do via a web-based solution (as opposed to make them and put them out as PDF's). So, I have started such a site and am here for more of your very valuable, and much appreciated opinions/ideas. At this time, this is what we are thinking the site will provide... [B]Get Encounter Maps[/B] [COLOR="Silver"]- You can browse/search encounter maps and download them as you need - Free, no account needed. - You can comment on maps, rate maps and more including selecting a map, adding your own information, and then printing/exporting it (as a PDF). - You can search encounter maps by selecting keywords/categories such as "Dimly Lit", "Cavern", "Castle", etc - The details page for a given map will contain notes from the designer (ideas for its use, etc), keywords for the environment (Dimly Lit, Horrible Smell, Quiet) as well as Terrain (Cavern, Water, Castle) [/COLOR] [B]Submit Encounter Maps[/B] [COLOR="Silver"]- Submitting maps is also free of charge - you need an account, but it would be free. - You could post your map, write up details on it and select keywords that help define it and provide a way for it to be found via searches - You would have the ability to add your own PayPal donation button so that if someone really likes your work, they can donate to you specifically. - When you submit a map, a black and white (greyscale) version is automatically generated for those who want it without color.[/COLOR] I have called this site "Encounter Pages" and you can see the splash/landing page here... [url=http://www.encounterpages.com]EncounterPages.com[/url] Please let me know what you think about this, primarily... [SIZE="4"][B][COLOR="DarkOrange"] 1. What additional features would you like to see as someone who would be browsing/searching for maps 2. If you were looking for maps, what information do you want to know about it - what should be included 3. If you were submitting an encounter map, what additional features/options would you like to see[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE] -- I can't promise to have many more features than already planned, but your feedback can help in deciding what the focus should be and how we should lay things out. We have ideas, but could use more. Thank you, Mike aka the Weem [/QUOTE]
