This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Look, I admit it, I'm a terrible anything-but-dungeons cartographer

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Quote from: thedungeondelver;549249and not a great cartographer of dungeons (although that's mostly due to me being lazy).

I need a medium-sized city map, NOT one crisscrossed with canals, not one on a lake or any other body of water...just a large town or medium city.  

Everything I've found courtesy of ze googlez is port this or rivertown that or the other.

A little help here?

Italian city states like Sienna or Perugia are often built on hills for defence rather than on a river for trade.

There are lots of medieval maps of Italian cities all over the web.

Yeah it is.

Within about a minute I found a perfect map for Piedmont and Monferrato where my campaign action is taking place.

Quote from: Thalaba;549268No. It's not mine; I found it on the web by looking for Shibam (an old city in Yemen). There's a B&W plan on this page, along with several building floorplans and some elevations. If you hunt around you might find something bigger.


Its fascinating that its a map of an actual town.  At first glance I was sure it was from some RPG setting.

Absolutely.  What's more, one has to wonder whether certain mapmakers for RPG books had seen stuff like this and were inspired by it.

All I know is that's now the town of Lago in my current campaign.

Imma have to figure out how to get a nice, clean, larger copy of that to number and key.
