    Default The Home for Abandoned Maps

    Forgive me if this is already a thread somewhere, but I think here we should post maps that we have given up on, haven't finished, that sort of thing, sketches would be cool too.
    I'll start us off.

    Ryoko, a city in the Irenar world that was abandoned mid planning due to my players killing eachother before the fourth session.

    This thread is a good idea. I think you should also make it a condition/recommendation that anything posted here may be freely adopted by someone else, should they wish to complete the map.

    LOL! Best reason ever for not finishing a map.

    I will probably be adding to this thread from time to time.

    A recommendation is best I think. When I get home i'll add homeless map to this thread.

    @ChickPea It's usually the #2 reason most of my maps are abandoned, thanks to my very chaotic players.

    If nothing else, some of those would make nice lighting overlays, so if you want to post a few good ones, I'd save some for future use

    or for putting a "stain / darkening " aging effect on an old parchment map
    for that any decent perlin noise would do

    I'll try posting something to show you why I like images like these when I get a chance. Perlin noise is fine but it's nice to have something from reality

    John, are those under any copyright at all? I can see myself using the one you just posted.

    This looks like a fun thread so I thought I'd share a few things. I've abandoned a LOT of stuff - either because I wasn't happy with it or... well usually that I guess.

    The first is a fortified town I just didn't like the layout of. Something about it didn't "feel" right and when I start getting that feeling I begin to lose my enthusiasm for completing it.

    The second map is of the Barony of Antira for one of my own worlds. I didn't like how the style was turning out so I never took it beyond the sketchy stage. That IS the actual Barony though so if I ever do a new map of it, it'll mostly match up! Several of my maps I've posted here on the CG are from the Barony of Antira as it happens!
