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.

Quote from: GrayPumpkin;249077Those are freaking amazing Flyingmice, as someone who loves making his own maps, what's your secret?

Thanks, GrayPumpkin! :D

I used pencil to lay it out, colored pencil for political differentiation and water, Mars .005 technical pen for lettering and inking, and a spray airbrush with ink for relief shading.

I studied maps of real areas with landforms like what I was drawing to see what rivers would look like in that type of land. For example, the south-western section is very flat, alluvial land, so I studied maps of the rivers in Louisiana and tried to get that looping, braided feel to the rivers in that area.

Patience is always a virtue as well. :D

Um... Clash? I checked out your maps with a fistful of Lube they're so awesome. As a dude who LOOOOOVE to draw maps, I gotta give you mad props.

Also: Someone needs to kick this guy in the balls for that artwork. Christ.

Bidding is up to $31

Just over five hours to go on the auction...
Blackmoor grew from a single Castle to include, first, several adjacent Castles (with the forces of Evil lying just off the edge of the world to an entire Northern Province of the Castle and Crusade Society's Great Kingdom.

Hmmm...checking this guy's other auctions, I see this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Judges-Guild-Miscellaneous-Unique-Items-1976-1978_W0QQitemZ300258527954QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item300258527954&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14

Is/was he connected w/Judges' Guild?  It almost seems like the "Bob" he mentions here is Bob Bledsaw?
For fuck\'s sake, these are games, people.

And no one gives a fuck about your ignore list.

Well there you go. The guy is Bill Owen, co-founder of Judges Guild!

And the auction of Doug's stuff (whoever he is) fetched a pretty penny.

I offered $38, since I was interested in some guy's game scribblings from 1976. Whoa. 164 bucks for the final price. That's impressive.
Now with a Zine!
