I definitely like the second "style" better, more visually appealing. Not that there was anything wrong with the first ones.

Yeah, the second style is way better IMO. I enjoyed switching styles at various places in KOTS -- I'm planning out Pyramid in advance as far as what sections will have their own look.
What are you mapping in? One of the things I'm going to do before starting Pyramid is build a custom symbol catalog that has the few dozen symbols that I use all the time. A good 20% of my mapping time was spent doing catalog juggling, or trying to remember what symbols were where. A few hours spent up-front will make production way easier I think.
Those are looking great.
edit: I would recommend changing the byline to say "based on a map by" instead of "by". When I looked at one of the maps I thought "Hey, that's Mike doing the map!" for a second.
I am using DD3 with Symbol Set 2, set B.

Any questions on CC3? Post them with CC3 in the Subject Line!

Wow, thanks for this! There is a collection of H2 links over at EN World. I added these maps over there (hope that's okay!) to spread the word! Thanks again.
I really, really like the 'colour pencil' style!!!
Repped!!

This stuff is great. Thanks so much for posting. I'm still old school, i print and tape these, but i would love to move the whole face to face table top gaming into the digital age and use high def projection and fog of war.

Great job Neon!
I've taken the liberty of photoshopping two of these maps for use with our Virtual Tabletop (on a horizontal 37" LCD screen).
You can find them here:

I might do the rest in the future, but probably not to the same level of detail.
Thanks!
Those look fantastic. Would you PLEASE photoshop the rest? Pretty please?
