Maps

Back in a March posting at Jeff's Gameblog, I learned of a board game with an ideal map, called Divine Right. Since then, I've been on the lookout for more data, especially bigger images of the world map. My random surfing paid off a few days back, when I found a page with a RPG conversion for the game by a Michael Gemmell (?) Pictures of the geography were available, although they were photographed instead of scanned. After absorbing some of the data there, I decided to make one section of the map my "sandbox" for a B/X convention game. In order to have something to hand to players, I re-drafted the zone in Hexographer (and Photoshop). Sadly, when I tried to return to the online material for name checking, the site was dead. Therefore, some of the location names are of my own imagining, and some are transplants from areas I could read easier. Since my adventure will be light fare, I don't think 100% accuracy is required. Here is the result:

I did a largish, but unfinished map of Minaria awhile back, which you can take a look at here: http://forum.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=1229

As part of that planned campaign, I also put together a 1e AD&D campaign booklet heavily based on Michael Gemmel's 3e material. Let me know if you're interested and I'll send you what I've got.

Kellri, if you salvaged the Minaria material, I'd like a copy! The email here is lbarbrpg (at) gmail.com

Doing the whole continent the old way must have taken a long time. I picked this locale so players could easily be human, elf, or dwarf.
