[Award Winner] Creation and Depiction of Fantasy Cities - Parts I & II

[ravells]

Thanks gidde. Ill amend and repost it. Keep your eyes peeled for typos!

[StillCypher]

Ooo, more great stuff! ::rubbing hands together happily:: I'm so excited to see you working on this. You go into some good details involving the underlying structure of a city. Very helpful.

Typos! Alas, there's one on your very lovely cover. You've swapped the places of the G and the T in "Cartographers'." Oops. (Or does this mean we're now some kind of fancy cargo movers? )

Page 17: I'm not sure what to make of this sentence:

Cities are rarely composed of a uniform set of buildings each of about the same size, shape surrounding public space, colour and decoration.

The whole first paragraph on that page could use some serious attention. :-/ The other errors I saw were minor. If you'd like, I'd be happy to proof all your text...

[Gandwarf]

Yeah, good stuff Ravells. I am pleased to see you found some use for the city of Sirilion (the last page mentions you used Sirilion as a background image, but where? I did see figure 23).

More importantly, where can I download the Cartographers Guild logo!? I noticed you using it on the first page. I looked around on the forum, but couldn't find the image you are using.

StillCypher: Thanks! I shall make those amendments post haste! If you could proof read the rest you can get a free copy of the book . Seriously, any proof reading would be very gratefully accepted and paid in rep!

Gandwarf: Sorry I had Sirilion as a background image but it made the file size too big (107 mb) so I had to get rid of it. I'll need to remove that acknowledgment from the bibliography.

I'm not sure how protective Arcana is about the CG Compass Rose, let me ask him first and if he's OK with it, I'll ask him to put the .png in the miscellaneous drop down list at the top with all the other CG images.

Sorry there was so little to add this time round in terms of new material, but now I've got the look and feel basically how I want it - rats I still want that background image....maybe for the final version, I can get on with content rather than formatting.

Cheers!

How would you like it to arrive? Email? Private Message? Smoke signals? (I'll have to look into the latter, I'm probably a little rusty...)

ahem: I rock it old school - http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=370

Wow...look at that topic number...370...thats WAY back in the day.

I'll see what I can do about getting it in the misc section.

[Gandwarf]

Yeah, I found the CC3 symbols. That's not the version Ravells seems to be using in his PDF though?
----------
EDIT: ok, I downloaded the file and I guess it is the version Ravells is using

So can I use this compass in my maps?

[ravells]

Email is great: ravifelicity [at] yahoo.co.uk

Cheers!

(Probably a bit far for the smoke signals )

I've put in the edits so far given and substituted the file.

I had so forgotten that thread!!!

[RPMiller]

That thread must be from the days when it was just Robbie and me and a few members. Back when I could actually keep up with every post.
