    Really like this, the style is great and something i would like to be able to do. Perfect for D&D.
    One small point - the even colour across all the land doesn't look right to me. I would have thought the Solari wastes would be yellow or at least not green? Other areas could be diff colours aswell.
    Maybe you were just going for blue = sea / green = land ?

    I was like you at first, I didn't like Savage Worlds at all, but then I played with a friend who knew it well and I was hooked!

    It's a great system that gets out of the way and lets the story flow!

    Yeah that was essentially it, blue = water/ green = land

    I hope to actually commission someone to eventually do a really intense version of it with lots and lots of colours and terrains, etc...

    Glad you like it

    Well Smithy, I gave it some thought, and since I wanted to add my fjords in the northern part of Aquilar and then put in the volcano and such in Solani, I went ahead and tried giving a "blush" of colour to the map for things like forests, swamps, snowy lands in the far north, waste lands and grasslands. I also dialled down the saturation a scooch to make it "pop" a bit less.

    Not 100% sure it turned out right, but it was fun to try.
