Very nice map. If I had one gripe about it then that would have to be the text. It looks a little too plain for my tastes.

Also, given what the setting sounds like and the influences you're citing, it seems to me that it would be more suited to being run with the Deadlands system or something similar. How did you handle guns? Or do six-shooters have no place in this setting?

I did the text fairly quickly without giving it too much thought, but I see what you mean. The original map had a more 'Wild West' style font that I might use again, either way I think I will touch it up a bit, thanks!

For the campaign, we used a slightly modified d20 system that pulled from various other things but mainly stock D&D. We created our own rules for firearms, which definitely included six-shooters (the theme was Wild West meets Steampunk) and unless I root through some old files I can't remember exactly how it works. I do remember kicking around Deadlands or something like it when we were concepting the system, but I don't remember anything more than that.

My only regret is that the map has a low resolution... I can't zoom in on the details.

Sorry! I normally make maps at much much higher resolutions, but this one I created at the stock 8 1/2 x 11 size in photoshop. I mainly did it that way so I could belt it out in an afternoon. Below is a work in progress from another map I've been doing off and on that is at a much higher resolution. I drew it out in pen first, scanned it in and now am toying around with the colors:



It's a southern island of the full map, which is this in black and white:
