    Thanks for posting that link. I was having a heck of a time trying to figure out what was what.
    Bill Stickers is innocent! It isn't Bill's fault that he was hanging out in the wrong place.

    No need for that. I was having a hard time because I was thinking that PlotStorming's challenge was before CG's for some reason and so I was looking at the wrong month and scratching my head as to where the Glass Ocean stuff was.

    Praise I'm loving the variety in this month's challenge!

    I am really enjoying the different techniques, software and approach being taken by every participant to this month's challenge. I say, it should even be more difficult to judge, since every map is "apples and oranges" to every other map.

    Terrain Monkey is creating hand-drawn and digitally enhanced maps.
    NeonKnight is using both CC3 and DD3 to create with.
    Torq is using Dundjinni
    I am not sure what Midgardsormr is using, probably CC3 or Inkscape.
    And of course I'm using Xara Xtreme

    The variety is great!

    I agree the variety is great.

    Just a note. I am not using Dundjinni, but rather Gimp. Some of the artwork is off the Dunjinni forums though.

    Cheers

    CC3 at the moment, but I think I am going to try to do the terrain in Corel PhotoPaint, following Pyrandon's "artistically accurate" city map tutorial.

    I'm still learning so much that my approach is a bit fractured--I haven't settled into a preferred method for anything yet.
