Title: Best world-Maps and/or regional-maps
Post by: Eilathen on April 06, 2013, 09:28:28 AM
Hi everyone,

As fellow rpg players, i am sure you also salivate over gorgeous maps of worlds and regions. I could not play in a world that has no map ;)

So, what are the best/most gorgeous maps you've seen? Be it from this place here, or from around the internet or even your own maps you can show us.
Let us collect them in this thread here. And please, only world- and/or regional-maps. No city- or dungeon-maps for this thread.

I'll start with a map by a member of the Cartographers Guild whose maps always grab my attention:

Artist: Chanimur aka Diamond from the CG

If you're a map-addict like me, visit his deviant-art portfolio, you'll not regret it!

There are a lot of maps I like.. I think my favorite is the Tamriel map http://images.uesp.net/c/c3/TamrielMap.jpg, its simple but shows the world without having much detail.

I'm a big fan of Jonathan Roberts' maps. He did the maps for the Song of Ice an Fire map book and also the maps for the Midgard Campaign Setting.
