Well, the WoAdWriMo is pretty much over (as of today, right?) But I have lots of leftover stuff that was only halfway done by the time it ended. Including several maps.

So I'll just post this one. The dungeon level that goes along with it is "coming soon".

Mostly a how-to  for cartography with Adobe Photoshop, but his samples are nice.

A village map done harn style

My original maps were going to fall to pieces in the late 80s. So I redrew them...

by hand

here an exampl;e

http://home.earthlink.net/~wilderlands/localantilmap.jpg

it was at this time I adopted the harn mapping style and the expanded 12.5 mile per hex over the 5 miles for the original.

The harn style was adopted because it was the only mapping style I know, other than plotting contours, that combined terrain with vegetation. Most of the other had a either or approach. Hex was forest or hills, etc.

The expanded scale for the Wilderlands came about when one of my groups hoofed it from city-state to Viridstan and it took like a handful of days. They said it felt like it should have been longer. So the next campaign I ran with a expanded scale.

City-State of the Invincible Overlord reborn

This was copied from a handdrawn remake after my city-state map was going to fall apart. The forest on the southern edges were original drawn as separate tree. I drew, by hand, several hundred trees.

This map was done before CorelDRAW got symbols so I had to do a fill or that many trees would have killed the computer.

I also made the defensive walls make more sense, and put a slum north of the city proper. It was a red-light district centered around the arena trade. I also fleshed out the goblin reservation. I added a great deal more allyways and made the government buildings and teh silverlight palace a bit more majestic in their archtecture.

Didn't we have a thread like this a few months ago? I don't want to repost the same maps again...

Here is map of my own world. My masterpiece.
