The World of Hyboria - hand-drawn

[ravells]

Wow, that is one beautiful map! Can't wait to see GP's version!

Apparently, most of Mongooses maps over the past 15 years have been created by artists, not cartographers. The fanbase have always felt they were not cartographically correct and lacked detail. Conan fans have felt they were not true to Robert E. Howard's vision (Conan's author)

The maps created by Vincent Spange the most accurate based on essays by Howard and Grippke, a Conan scholar, however, the Conan fans aren't too excited to see a Google style map of Hyboria - it lacks that ancient world feel, so a desire for accurate hand-drawn has always been desired.

So I'm volunteering.

EDIT: I agree that the map Valarian pointed is indeed, beautiful, but unless I am mistaken Cimmeria, Aquillonia and Nemedia are somewhat squished, those nations need to be longer north to sea than they currently are. Cimmeria should almost be square or trapezoidal, not so long east and west as it currently sits on that map. Otherwise, beautiful map.

Go brother Gameprinter! Bring a true and proper Hyboria to the masses!

I'll run it by my Conan aficionado friends if\when you post it.


Good luck.


Here's some rep for sheer ambition!
