    Before everyone goes crazy in drawing up maps. What is the mapping style so that the world map has a constant style through out all the higher resolution maps, like the way HandsomRob has done for Sorol.

    If I am not mistaken, this is a project whereby you, intrepid mapper can aid in the designing of a Fantasy World, utilising whatever mapping style you like.

    As was suggested earlier in this thread, because all of us here have different mapping styles, we are not going to stick to any one style, but let mappers use their own unique styles. If you wanted to 'invent' a fictional persona (Like the Forgotten Realms Marco Volo for example) to be the mapper, feel free.

    We are setting up a main world so there will be a cohesion between the various maps, but not necessarily the style.

    Thanks for the maps Neon, I'll have something up a bit later so that folks can start picking areas.

    DarkOne, I second what Neon said about style. We are looking for continuos regions but want style to be up to the mapper. This way we are still forwarding the aims of this site and allowing as much freedom as possible for people to devleop their own techniques and styles.

    Thanx for making it very clear now what the intention of this project is. I and some others appreciate it.
