    Good work on the forest changes. That's looking really nice. I'm also intrigued by the ever-changing thread title! Nice to see how the doodle is progressing.

    I wondered about that too.

    I tried to change a thread title to a thread I had started, once, but it sort of didn't work... it only changed the title of my individual first post.

    Pimping my worldmap here. Still WIP... long way to go, but I'm pretty proud of what I've done so far...

    heh...well...I figured if I was going to actually keep working on this, I might as well put it into the correct forum and I will eventually figure out some use for this map and rename the title one last time....

    heck... I might even start a campaign based off this since that road leading into the "hidden" dale seems to be a great place to end at a remote Dwarven outpost(which was something I was thinking the whole time. If you notice between the first few mountains and the fleshing out I did Friday night, I have this nice largish empty area between the forest and where some of the hills start back up.

    Not quite sure where I am going to go next, though I do know I want to try my hand at some cliff features right off the coast of the ocean on the upper side, along with some more mountains. Also, anyone who wishes to use this for something can under the CC license as per my sig.

    Ahh.

    Well, as I have no such aspirations, I'll have to do without that Supreme Power.

    Small update... added a bit of "snow" cover in the north for the next phase and added a bit of cliff face to the northern shore of the ocean.

    I'd suggest using the same thickness of pen that you used for outlining the mountains to outline the cliff. I'd also have the base continue smoothly from the direction of the shore - as it will affect where the shore is. At the moment it looks a little like the sea is halfway up the cliff which is a little strange.

    Check.

    Not sure what you mean with the last comment on the cliff base. Is this something like what you mean? Or am I totally off base in my understanding?

    And yet more... added some mountains in the north which are snow covered on an arctic plain. I hope to try to add some type of evergreen trees to the east side and perhaps a few along the bottom if I can come up with something I like the looks of.
