It's been a while since anyone has posted updates or new maps of their campaign world. To kick off a new thread, I'd like to share my revised Campaign Cartographer 3 maps of Deismaar.

Very nice map, Moniker.

Here's a new map of Shadowfell, created for me by Phoenix (beware, it's huge):

Seriously, Phoenix rocks.

I have a lot to do to make the location and place names look nicer, but it's a slow project with other priorities right now.

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

I like the compass you added, Ish.

Moniker, I'm impressed. Either CC3 way out-classes CC2, or you totally rock with it. Or both.

Wow, I definitely skipped over the part where you said you did that with CC3, Moniker.  Very impressive!

Here are two quick maps I made for a setting my friends and I tried to make (but they waffled and it died :( ). -  URL to more complex map &  URL to simple map

There's the latest map for the mortal world of Haveneast. I haven't got the Nightmare equivalent done yet. The map of the primary region of Anselvar was drawn around for reference.

Neat and very detailed map, Troll... I still love hand-drawn maps.

Okay, here's a WIP map I'm working on.  This is actually a rough draft more than anything, to figure out what styles I like best.  I have my mountains down, I think, but have some problems with making nice-looking forests.

This area of Alsa Eru is called "The Crescent."

I've slowly been working on flushing out my Afterworld Map, however its been slow work because I've been having to build up the existing Empires and everything before the invasion, then translate that onto a map that shows what is currently known about the condition of the world.


All the map currently consists of is a rough sketch scanned in and a few photoshop elements tossed on top, it is only a rough WIP.

 AFTERWORLD MAP

- Dashed lines are Nation borders
- Orange Dots are remaining cities/towns and the yellow surrounding them is to give an idea of what area they patrol/protect. These points of civilization are points of the lights in the darkness that has consumed the world.
- Purplesque/Blue squigglies and brown cross hatched areas are rough ideas for locations of lakes/rivers
- The underlayed black thick lines are Leylines that run under the world
- Brown stuff is the mountain ranges
- Purple Filled Shaded areas are current locations known/expected to house the remnants of the invading armies

Raelifin I love the map! Did you create it in photoshop? The land texture just seems to fit perfectly what did you use?

(Grumble to myself: I think I made the sea too bright.)

Thanks. I used the GIMP, not photoshop.

The land's texture was a composite of clouds (noise), parchment, forest images and hand-drawn shading to form the mountains.

Here's another map of mine from a while back:

I need to give GamerPrintshop credit for creating the new Celtricia maps, which I will try to give him the honor OF SHOWING.
Hopwefull, I can convince him to show some of his great work.

Old, evil, twisted, damaged, and afflicted.  Orbis non sufficit.Thread Murderer Extraordinaire, and supposedly pragmatic...\"That is my interpretation. That the same rules designed to reduce the role of the GM and to empower the player also destroyed the autonomy to create a consistent setting. And more importantly, these rules reduce the Roleplaying component of what is supposed to be a \'Fantasy Roleplaying game\' to something else\"-Vreeg
