    I'm sorry, everyone--I recently had to move the source file. Here is the corrected link: http://www.ormonds.net/rpg/westaven/...llexia_985.jpg

    Thank you very much, and I apologize for the incorrect link.

    No problem. Thanks for the new link.

    I like the old-style look of your map. And I don't mind the hash lines on the ocean at all. Good job on this.

    Give MapForge a try.

    I think it's outSTANDing! Can't think of a thing I'd change. Congrats on the featured map selection, it is well earned.

    Beautiful map! The only thing I looked for and couldn't find is some type of scale bar to determine distance and size. Omitting it may be intentional, but I thought I'd point it out.

    Heh, it's intentional—confounded map maker anyway!

    My character, Gereth, was just happy to get his hands on a fairly decent map, finally.

    Post Scale

    Actually, as my buddy Naryt wrote, the lack of a scale was in fact intentional. As I said in my initial post, I was trying to create something between an historical map & a useful campaign map. Historical maps, from what I ascertain, did not boast scales as we know them until after the medieval era. (Correct me if I'm wrong here; I'm no historian.)

    I was planning to place mileage numbers on major roads indicating the distance from city to city, as is seen on the Gough Map (Great Britain, 1360; http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/guides/maps/goughmap.htm), but when I began to do this it looked a bit too sloppy for my taste. I may still do it, though--or perhaps rely on the old standby: have the current map be the player's handout map & create another more "modern" map to use as just GM's guide.

    I'd love input from you all on this plan, other ideas, and such. And thank you all for your compliments on this little project here.
