    Wip Alchemy Guild

    Hello again my fellow cartographers!!!

    I would like to present to all of you my new proyect, here is the map of the Alchemy guild, as drawn by a very sneaky Rogue, well at least the fisrt floor. So what i'm going to do over the course of this months is to do a VTT version of this map, this is to texture and fill it completely with a realistic look of what it woul look like. Your comments and feedback mean a lot to me, so please do. Without further due, here is the Alchemy Guild:

    Hope that ecveryone is having fun,

    Drahyden,

    Cool idea. No suggestions from me I just hope it comes out cool or makes me think of some new stuff that I've never thought about (which it is already doing so good job there).

    Good idea!

    I can understand the allure but I find the font very hard to read. Also the runes are exotic but strange next to 'Kitchen' spelled real plain. If its a thief's map perhaps the glyphs would be from traps or treasure chests?

    Perhaps the map was done from rough notes in the field and then a master made when there was more time. Each room might have its own map with detailed info and the big map might have the typical position of guards etc...

    Good point Sig...a thief wouldn't know what each room is really for, he'd just want to know what's in it and how to get at it. Since each of these rooms has a functions listed, I'd say this is more of a map for apprentices so that they don't wander into a place that they shouldn't be in.
