    Thanks for showing. There is definitely a big draw to having gigantic maps to play with.
    Really? When you mean creating a digital version you mean by taking a photo shot? Or??

    Scan it in with a scanner then use new layers in a program like Gimp or Photoshop to draw lines, put in colors, etc. Layers work sort of like clear mylar pages for overhead projectors....just lots of them so that you don't mess everything up, just that one layer.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
