Welcome to the Guild.
Have Some REP for some cool maps on a first post!
Hi All,
I am a 35 year old software developer for a small company in Columbus, Ohio. I have also been a big gamer, since the days of Diablo 1 and Ultima Online when I was in college. It is what drove me to learn game development, which I do as a hobby.
I love fantasy and sci-fi, both areas I am highly passionate about. Since the days of temple of asphai on my commodore 64, to Diablo 1 in my college years, I have dreamed of creating my own fantasy world (and sci-fi one down the road). I am currently focusing on creating my Fantasy World of Arillian.
As such, I have decided to first flush out the lore of the world, before beginning any type of game development on it. I have decided to focus on the geography first, and went and bought Campaign Cartographer, and Dunjdinni. I also got a domain (www.ArillianMultiverse.com) which will house all the lore for Arillian. Its not hosted yet, but I am going to build an interactive viewer, for all the maps created, so you can drill down from world->continental-> governemnt/hotspot-> city/dungeon.
My first maps I posted on the CC3 forums for review:
CC3 Show and Tell Forum
Here are the thumbnails of what I have done so far:
World Map - Work In progress, only Krava has been filled out so far
Krava Continental Map
Corica - #1 on the Krava Continental Map
Kromgor - #14 on the Krava Continental Map
I am looking forward to future discussions and learning a lot from what the community has to offer![]()

Never use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice!

Welcome Skaryn, good to see you here on the Guild forum as well
I commented extensively on your maps on the Profantasy forum... but now I can also give you some reputation.
Long live Ultima Online!

Oh, and if you want more feedback on your maps, you should post them in the regional mapping forum as a work in progress. You will get more comments that way as this is more of an introduction forum.

Nice maps. I think Krava Continental Map is my favorite (the mountain especially).
