*** April Challenge - Using Dwarf Fortress ASCII Maps as a Source ***

[Jaxilon]

I often recall a statement by Brandon Sanderson when he was asked about how he handled his enjoyment of playing video games. He said, "You have to want to write more than you want to play video games." I too want to make art more than I want to play video games but I do still enjoy a good game now and then. I just have to be careful.

I wonder if it would allowed for one of these fine gamers from Bay 12's forums who already has a world going and would like to see said world come to cartographic life, to post an image here that one might use for the basis of this challenge? That way I'm not in as much danger

I'm already working on something like this for a "community game" called The Museum. (Link below) My nom de plume in the Dwarf Fortress forums is "Timeless Bob". Anyway, that game's world-map has many interesting areas and towns, which will all eventually make it into the ongoing Gazeteer I'm creating as a "Museum Curator". If you'd like to submit your images as well, I'm sure the game's host would be delighted.
