    Just dodge and burn with a light hand and patience. Works very well to give your maps more depth.

    Great map - I really like the colour of the grass and your contours.

    The land (island?) in between the river(s) makes me so happy


    Also everything looks very nice ^.^

    Only thing I'd say is missing is a scale, because by default I'd always presume an unlabeled map is 5ft per square, in which case with a 1sq width this is probably more a stream than a river Looks nice though.

    From an encounter point of view I would have maybe had the fork be more central to the map as it's the strongest tactical environmental feature along with the cliff, having the little island portion at the edge of the map can make combat an issue because whilst people might want to use it, players often avoid the edge of the map as there's less maneuverability because the meta avoid moving off the map.

    Looks wise it's nice.

    This is a late reply
    Now that you mention it the tactical strongpoint of a map should be in the center, you are absolutly right. Thanks for pointing it out.
    Thanks to all for the kind words!
