Waywocket Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 It's so obviously not supposed to be 'Drow tombs' Anyway, was this done manually or using some map-making tool? Looks pretty good in a spartan kind of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xarek Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 It's so obviously not supposed to be 'Drow tombs' Anyway, was this done manually or using some map-making tool? Looks pretty good in a spartan kind of way. Made in Photoshop, the assets (buildings, mountains etc.) are taken out of CC3 though. Someone on Reddit made the same comment about it being Drowned Tombs, but my DnD mind just didn't even consider that when I made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anek Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Am I the only one who can't help but read "Free Palestine!" every time I look at the part of the map that says... FREE PALATINATE OF DYRWOOD ...? Not just in this version, also in the original map... Edited October 1, 2012 by anek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xarek Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) It looks almost like in-game map, good job. Thanks. I wanted to work on it further, but on Sunday evening I decided to call it quits. I would have liked to made more forest areas, change some of the buildings, add in more detail in the main 'plane' area. I didn't want to take liberties about forested areas though too much, as it's impossible to tell whether the main 'green' area is actually meant to be forest or simply grass plains.

Sarevok Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 This looks great. Well done. Was this done just for fun?

Xarek Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) This looks great. Well done. Was this done just for fun? Thanks. Yea, I didn't really like the current low res map, so thought I would just have a go at making a new version. I didn't think it would end up taking most of the weekend though!

Ieo Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) It kind of matches the coloration for the Edair and Cadegund concept art. Add some torn edges and aged parchment/sepia stains and it's good to go. Oh, and I'm fully in favor of naming the lake, Lake of Drowned Drow. That dumb "inverse" race trope has infested and poisoned everything it touches... Edited October 1, 2012 by Ieo The KS Collector's Edition does not include the Collector's Book.

Longknife Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Lake of Brow Combs in my opinion "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far.

Sylvius the Mad Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The one that got me when I was making it was Madsdam, I had to recheck that several times...'Madsham'...'Madsam'...argh. I'm a big fan of Madsdam. Excellent name for a city. God used to be my co-pilot, but then we crashed in the Andes and I had to eat him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Definitely looks like a novel-map and I like the style very much. Nice job! “Things are as they are.

hideo kuze Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Hey man, this actually looks pretty damn cool. Just an idea... try going both ways: Make it look like a piece of an old parchment; as if something an adventurer would carry with him. Color it in the same vein as the original; as if it was a figure in one of the in-game books.
