Quote from: Krimson;928215Chernobyl is a pretty tiny region. I don't think it's more than 2km across. It's even smaller than Barovia. I'm not sure I'd do something like a radiation zone unless I had some tech reason why it would happen in the 19th century. I might be more inclined to make a magic Dead Zone, which would probably be more frightening to characters. I really should make a new map though. Heh, I could try making a hex map and OSRify it.

There you go!

For reference, I made this map for the first 5e game I ran. Yes, I dropped Phandelver into Karameikos. Using a similar style for Gothic Eastern Europe could be fun, maybe just turn down the saturation on everything so it looks more bleak. That's pretty much what I did with Gothic Earth, which I made with Paint Shop Pro 7. Not sure if I have that around but I think I can do everything in Campaign Cartographer. For Gothic Earth, I used a Google Maps satellite photo of Eastern Europe, and used a screen shot with borders and one without, and then drew in the countries I wanted paying attention to smaller regional borders so it makes some sort of sense. My big mistake with the Gothic Earth Map is that I made some Domains way too big. Barovia is under 300 square miles (smaller than Calgary) and though I might make it bigger than that, it wouldn't be massive like the one in the map I made. I must have mixed up the red and blue pills that day.
