    Yes, that is absolutely the case. You don't know how happy it makes me that you were able to tell, so at least I know I've done that part right!

    ... and one I never thought I'd hear directed to me! And of course I don't mind. Hell, I'd have given you the psd if you wanted.

    The texture is definitely better, because there is some. Personally, I'm not feeling the--is that lava? Probably because I already had something equally nasty and way more sneaky for down there, otherwise I'm sure I'd love it just fine.

    I do like that texture though. I'll have to play with it and see if I can come up with something comparable.

    heh... just give your players a "map" that says there is a tunnel half way down the chasm and don't mention the lava on the map at all..... Should make for one hell of a nervous climb...

    I was thinking more of a sort of gas that you wouldn't know was there until you were already desperately clinging to the wall. And it's a loooooong way down. Of course, whatever lies at the bottom is out of the scope of this adventure, but something way nasty, I'm sure.

    I think for my purposes I'm going to call this a finished map. Next up is to delete all but the base outline layer and the earth texture, offset the the base layer to move the gorge to the left side of the image, and work on the upper deck for the second encounter. Shouldn't be too hard now that I have a clue.
