What kind of maps are you making?

[Gregorus Prime]

I've been working on a campaign setting as a possible alternative campaign to run with my D&D 4e group. Something with a strong Roman feel, complete with slaves and complex laws to govern them, some Crusades-type holy war politics with the dragonborn (There is but one God and Bahamut is his prophet!) and a good bit of Lovecraftian horror tossed in for good measure.

So what I'll be making in GIMP are some maps for each continent/archipelago and then stitching them together to create one big world map. I'll have to figure out political boundaries and some cool symbols later on but for now I'll be working on topography.
