Nice, plenty of res - I like that.
Gotta ask, is that a C for concealed door and if so I would want to know what would be concealing it. Something thin - like a tapestry perhaps ?

actually, i went back and changed the doors. took out the concealed and just went with secret ones. i'm going to assume there are tapestries and artwork but i'm not anal enough to do all that.
here's a new map with the changes for the doors. don't know if i like this either....
Nah, I wouldn't have either. I would have done the same and made it secret.
I think the new doors are a bit lost - but the old ones were a bit too white and blobby for doors too. Is there something in-between the two extremes ? Brown rectangles maybe ? I dunno. Anyway, I should not be commenting so much...
okay, fixed the doors to a satisfactory level. i'm working on the undercaverns right now, that will be up tonight.
also, don't worry about commenting. i like to hear constructive criticism whether i'm in a competition or not. after having come close a couple of times over the past year, i'm finally getting to a point where i'm hungry for a win. this is what happens when i get really anal about every detail and want to excel. thanks for any thoughts anyone may have.
Doors look much better now
If nothing else, the secret doors are definitely better closed.
I think this place is gonna be a money-pit. Drafty rooms, leaky roof, orcs coming up out of the lower all hours of the night...

"And then we went down the ladder to the cave levels. it took little time to discern why this was a good spot to fortify. there, at the lowest point in the caverns, was a stream running quickly through the entire complex. fresh water, our own cistern. also, the stream lead out to the river a short ways away through the earth, thus providing a quick escape point in case of attack. yes, this makes a great home indeed."

TM,
I really like your maps, and will possibly even use them in an upcoming adventure of mine if that's okay with you. You seem to have a real grasp on these types of maps. I'm curious though, in the very first map (of the main floor of the manor house), where is the front door presumed to be? I see no obvious locations, and none of the various holes in the walls seem to correspond with a likely location. Am I just missing something really obvious?
