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.

It was lot of fun working on this. Not only was a new and interesting locale it was my first project involving using real landscape as the base. The first map was also the first full blown test of a new greyscale mapping style I am trying by using fills and textures for vegetation and mountains so I can overlap the two seamlessly and clearly.

Enjoy! And Thanks to the Pundit and Brendan for being part of this project.

Ooo, map porn. Me gusta. :D

Should I assume the Thar Desert to be a shout-out to Mystara?

It is a real place on the border of India and Pakistan

Thanks. Score another one for Mystara, it's full of real-world references.

It looks good - but what is a hex map without numbered hexes? :)

Sorry 8.5 by 11 size for the final map so think more Greyhawk than Wilderlands. The scale is 50 miles to 1 hex. With that being said I do have the numbers just didn't expose them.

There is something about a hex map that gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

And an urge to number and key it.
