[QUOTE="psyekl, post: 1944655, member: 21025"] I've always considered the maps to be one of my favorite parts of rolepaying. Back in the '80's I would literally spend hours just perusing campaign worlds and dungeons imagining what it would look like if I were standing within them. I'd spend days leaning over my desk drawing out strange lands and magnificent dungeons with the satisfaction that they were not just frivilous art, but a real place that the players would be able to explore. But as time passed and technology changed, the maps have gone digital and no longer have the appeal for me that they once did. I understand completely that many gamers want the map just for orientation and care little for it's appearance, or that not everyone has the talent for drawing that others posess. There are some spectacular computer-generated maps out there created by people that admittedly could't even draw a straight line by hand. I still can't help but wish for the hand-drawn maps of the "good 'ol days". So here I am, all growed up and I'm deciding to create a book of hand-drawn maps for all to enjoy! While this book will have an artistic quality, I'd still like your input on what you'd like to see so that It'll have a chance at being a useful addition to any role-player's library. The first book will be primarily for the fantasy genre, and I'm planning on making two versions of each map/floorplan: 1 drawn artistically but left blank of any information (but still having a grid), another with a key and labels, and any other information that may help in deciphering the map. So please feel free to speak up and let me know if this is something you would like to see, or just something that would be completely useless to you. If you would like some more information or to see some examples of what I'm planning on drawing, see the link in my sig. [/QUOTE]
