That's very weird.  Could Noscript be doing it somehow?

Here's a map for the fantasy world I'll be running a game in this summer. Clicky for larger version.



Still needs work. I'm not 100% happy with the hills / mountains, but I've never really done a hexmap before. I'm sure I'll be tweaking it ad nauseum before I actually get around to running the game.

Fitting for this time and thread: The theme for this month's RPG Blog Carnival is RPG Cartography!

Another Flash based map, for the same world as the previous set of maps. The focus this time was the continent of Vorshoma.

But I'm still experimenting with some things. The city icons are smaller this time. I wanted to emphasize the scale of the land, unfortunately I think maybe I made the cities too small.

Also, I'm still kind of learning about creating landscape stuff (like mountains) so the map is not 100% compatible with what you see on the Sea of Dreams map (which covers the east edge of Vorshoma). I'll probably end up redoing some of the other maps eventually.

The mouse overs got changed a bit too. Many of the labels are visible without a mouse over, so you can see some of these things without running the mouse around. There are still a number of hidden labels, and on many of the labeled areas, I give pop-ups with extra info.

Three more maps, from a campaign currently in the planning stages for the back end of this year, focused on exploring the Moragnian frontier. The black and white map is from AutoRealm, and is the actual starting table map that's been printed off.

The two colour maps are for reference - one shows the entire area available for exploration, the other covers the same area as the black and white map, gives me hex grid locations on everything for note purposes, and includes a whole bunch of secret locations for PCs to discover that are not marked on their map.

Some new Maps. . . . Or actually it is one map done two different ways.

This one features a town called "Thompsonville."

A few details about this area of the world: high-tech Humans were able to access this new world (a fantasy-like world) through some alien technology, but the colonists and military people got stranded when the alien-gate technology mysteriously failed. As time went on, the military kept running things. However, over the years, the former officers basically became nobles, with their ranks becoming hereditary titles passed on to their children.  

This town (Thompsonville) was founded by a General named Thompson, and is now ruled by his descendant (who is the current Gen Thompson).

In terms of the maps: the first map is the same style I'd been doing the maps in (seen looking down from an angle)

The second map is more of a tactical map (seen straight down with a hex-grid overlay, where the scale is 1 hex = 1 mile.)

Since I think there might be some issues with the 1800X1800 pixel Flash interactive map (it didn't seem to want to let me zoom out, which is a problem with that big of a map), I'm including a standard jpg image of the tactical map as well. . . .

The zoom in and out on the second map works fine for me. This is with the Firefox browser of course, it would probably work in IE Explorer as well, just haven't tested it.

With a 1900x1320 display, an 1800x1800 graphic is going to pretty much fill the screen from side-to-side. Won't be able to see the whole thing in the opened browser window.

P.S. Awesome maps! Very good presentation. Kept thinking I could use the second/last map for a Battletech Clan on a rural planet.

The city of Toran, home of the only magician's guild of its setting:


(This was a home-brew setting. Months later it dawned on me that I was subliminally inspired by Lone Wolf when I named that city...)

Bramblewood Forest in Ket in my version of Greyhawk:

My browser lets me zoom out once I've zoomed in a bit, but it didn't let me pull back all the way out to see the whole map (which would be nice). I could probably set it up to show the whole thing by default, but then people would have to actively zoom in to see the details.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words, and I hope that the second map might someday become useful for one of your Battletech games.

My map for a currently in the works online game I'm setting up with a friend. The map is a work in progress (I see a couple of areas that could be improved upon/adding a city).

That's a nice looking map. How large an area does it show?

I love the names.

If you're looking to plunk a city down, that Pass of Ruelodra could use one. It's both an isthmus and a mountain pass if I'm interpreting the map correctly.

The cosmological map for my homebrew(s):

Quote from: Cole;461235That's a nice looking map. How large an area does it show?

That's basically the entire island chain/continent. There's some Ice wastes to the south and north that aren't entirely important, and then to the east is an unimportant desert.

Kind of. It's not exactly an isthmus, but a mountain range. The pass itself is an under the mountain pass that was named after a hero who died there. It's the only way to get from Danardaia to Cathadon/Zwalius or vice versa, via land. Unless adventurers want to go over the mountain...

I put a mount on your mountain so you can mount it when you mount up.

I dunno if you have fireball and blow-shit-up spells or gunpowder or something, but if I was a wizard who wanted to make a mint, I'd flood the shit out of that tunnel and then blow the top off the mountain so I could make a new one of gold from all the fees you'd have to pay to use my fucking awesome new canal on a new vital trade route crossing my highly defensible isthmus. Or even if you can't do the whole mountain, you Tunnel of Love it with a Passwall or Stone to Mud-type thing and then you charge even more for them getting to use a roofed canal protected from inclement weather.
