I leave the professional map making to Rob. But when I do them on my own I hand draw the map then add the text in Paint or some other program. And for the building itself I did a little work in paint. This is the medium map. There is an overview map and of course a more detailed map of the inside. The overview shows the three main areas where a series on three one-shot adventures take place. This is the map for the second one. The first one, Mine of Rot & Disease, this one is called Ambrose Abbey and the third is yet unnamed. Mine of Rot and Disease was going to be my first release before Knowledge Illuminates, but I opted for the latter. The cool thing about this module is Whisk did some artwork for it so I am looking forward to getting it ready for publication.
I'm always glad to see hand drawn maps these days - the epitome of old school. :D
ReplyDeleteThere's something badass about old-school maps.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of role-playing gamers are more luddite than normal, as a group.
I love it! It's always great to see hand drawn maps.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and Ivy!
ReplyDeleteI know I am the "professional" mapmaker but I always said that your hand drawn maps have a distinct look that is appealing.
ReplyDeleteThat map is a thing of beauty -- absolutely wonderful.
ReplyDeleteze > yeah, sometimes hand drawn is the only way to go.
ReplyDeleteN. Wright > I love hand drawn maps, but what sometimes devalues them is when people print or write on them and I can't read what they wrote. That's why I do the text in paint.
Johnathan > Thanks!
Rob > Compliment appreciated.
Bard > Thanks bard. I thought maybe you were looking at a picture of Kate Beckinsale.
