December Entry: Witch's Rock

[Gamerprinter]

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.

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...

Link is: http://www.gamer-printshop.com/oldwest.html

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

Cool, I really like the Superstition Valley map, I kind of wish that I could have contributed to the map that month because I have a deep affection for the Western genre, but I was otherwise detained.

My problem, and it could be because I am at work using their system, is that when I try to download those files off the link you graciously provided I get a "cannot open" error. I will try again when I get back to my homestead out on the high desert plain (okay, home to Flint, but it actually is close to the wildwest here ).

I encountered the same errors with several of the links.

Publius, do they still have that Old West style amusement park in central MI? I think that is where it was. I was really young when we went there. It had a train ride through dinosaurs and an old west shoot 'em show.

I have never been there but it is in Irish Hills, south of me and on the other side of Ann Arbor. It's only open in the summers (May-September). In Flint we have Crossroads Village which is an accurately preserved 19th century small town, complete with costumed 'interpreters' (funny I thought they spoke English there ...) and all that jazz for the sucke-... I mean visitors. Spent one or two forced intervals there during my unfortunate incarceraton (otherwise known as elementary school, a waste of time only surpassed by the inappropriately named "High" School), and I have a cousin who used to work there as a volunteer until the folks running it got snotty and demanding (they have far fewer "interpreters" these days).

Ah, tourist traps.

[pyrandon]

A. Never been to Irish Hills

B. Crossroads Village is one of the cheesiest & best time my family of "suckers" had last summer.

C. I'm a guard--I mean a "teacher"--at a public high school

D. Publius, I'm not wearing a cup right now, so go get your steel toe boots. I'll wait.



I think it's because you're a Flintoid. ;P

[RPMiller]

YES!! Irish Hills! That's the one. When I lived in Ann Arbor we went there a couple times in my very young youth. I still remember it so it must have left an impression on me.

My mistake, the links were pointing to the wrong place, I fixed it so you can download the tranparent objects now. Sorry about that.

[Publius]

Thank you very much! I'll check those when I get back home.
