Thread: December Entry: Witch's Rock

Very neat ideas!

Here is my regional map for the island of the pirate caves - Isle de Roche de Les Femmes Socier (Witch's Rock). Please check my "French", because I barely have any grasp of the language, and it exists as the place names on this map.

Because this is the regional map, it falls outside the 4 hour mapping requirement, specifically for the cavern system adventure area only. Though I only spent about 2 hours creating this.

The ship is a top-sail two masted schooner I traced from a photo and scanned to PNG format.

(Oh and to save time, the hills are map objects from Superstition Valley)

WIP so far.... I already see a translation error... "Carta" should be "Carte" - oops - and what should be the french phrase for "Caves of DeFlor"?

Also I now think I'll change the scale from 10 Nautical Miles to 1 Nautical mile to make the "islet for marooning" more believeable - thus smaller scale.

OK, I made some French spelling corrections - still not sure on DuFlor Caverna.
I changed the scale from 10 Nautical Miles to 1 Nautical Mile. I also "thinned" the rivers as I drew them too fat. Practically done.

I plan to create my 4 hour cavern system map tonight to wrap up my entry!

I can help you a little with your french:

Witch's Rock = Le rocher de la sorcière

so the name of your map would be "Carte du rocher de la sorcière".

Caves of DeFlor = Cavernes de DeFlor

Port Au DeFlor -> Port DeFlor (= DeFlor's harbor)

Lac au vert -> Lac vert (= Green Lake)

Concerning all the rivers, the best would maybe that you give me the english names and I'll translate them for you.

That's one of the things that I LOVE about this forum. We have people from all over the world--literally. We have a wide spectrum of people, as evidenced by this multilingual assistance.

This place is fantastic!

Welcome to the Guild Zinuk! It is always great to meet new folks and I hope we have something here to offer you and convince you to participate as much as you would like.

Please feel free to put up an Intro thread, and once again, welcome!

Thank you very much, Zinik!

Rivers: Butterfly, Serpent, Rainbow, Flowers, Rum, Paulette, Night...

I appreciate the translation. I took Spanish in high school and I know some Japanese, some words in other languages, but that's it.

Zounds! I have yet to master my mother tongue.

I like the map, your background paper is very nice, gives it a good look. I also like the mountains. I have a problem in making my mountains look nice like that. May I redraw them (in my own style of course) for future mapping projects? I'm trying to build a catalogue so that I can start using different looking terrain features...

You can redraw to your heart's content, its fine with me. However, I have all my Mountain/Hills etc map objects in my Superstition Valley thread - you can go an download this you'd rather and work from there...

Download the zip files I have here - 6 altogether and give them a try. The transparent objects is what you're probably looking for.
