I would like to dedicate this thread to the discussion of fantasy/SF maps, and any other kind of cartography related to roleplaying, from world maps down to dungeon maps. I think it probable that there is a number of people here interested, in varying degrees of expertise or the lack of it. Maps are always useful, and sometimes even next to required, and myself I enjoy making maps just for kicks of it. This thread may develop in a number of directions, but right now I'd like to display a map that I made over the last week for the needs of my Amaranth RPG right here on RPdom. It's pretty much done, with exceptions of most place names still missing which are being added over time. I drew everything with a pencil, light lines first in the process of editing, then going through everything one last time in heavier strokes. I scanned it and colored everything in Fireworks 8 to get what you see below. Somehow it didn't turn out as well as I was hoping it would, though I think it should surpass most shitty excuses for maps, right? Right? All feedback, both positive and negative, is highly welcome. Just comment on the whole thing, details, your own experience, ideas, anything. Feel free to submit your own maps if you think the community could learn from them, or if you want a review to improve your skill. <img src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://www.rpdom.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FRNBzT5z.jpg&hash=41740b4ec41bf914670f7de9bb38129e&key=2713045f98c389fbe84707f5562fc2cc52f5bbdb52ca1f4c0d260bf78a4aa6cb" class="ipsImage" alt="proxy.php?image=https://i.imgur.co" /></p>
