    Post Campaign Setting map request

    Hello everyone
    I am creating a large dungeons and dragons campaign world, and cant progress further without the map.
    I asked on the wizards campaign workshop board and someone who is a member here said he would make my world for me, with any changes needed, however I have not heard from him in a while.
    Here I ask if someone is willing to work on creating my campaign world for me.
    The only region that is a requirement for the world is an island region. The main island aprox. the size of australia, with 39 smaller islands aprox. between half the size of, to twice the size of tazmania
    The rest I will leave up to the artist.

    Hey Baelzemon, you could get a good head start by downloading this freebie and playing around with it.

    http://www.viewing.ltd.uk/cgi-bin/vi...nstant_islands

    You can set the res to low, browse through the infinite number of maps until you like one and then set the res to high and reload that map and save it out.

    Theres a world mapping section on these boards too to use photoshop / Gimp et al to do much the same kind of thing too.

    Hi, baelzemon & welcome to the Guild. Perhaps you could be more specific as to what you're hoping to get out of this. Color/b&w? Hand-drawn/computerized? Is this a paying job or gratis?

    The more specific the more likely you are to be able to find a taker.

    Also, you may wish to work on your own map? We have many, many members here who started with no ability to map, then using tutorials and helps from the boards they have created their own maps--and surprised even themselves. If you do go this route, though, don't try it alone: post your progress here with questions and concerns, etc. I think you'll find we're the most helpful place on the Internet!

    Good luck!

    Map Map Request --- A starting point

    I thought I'd throw up a starting point for your map request. So far I just have the bare-bones of the map made, because I wanted to get your feedback before I put more work into it. Keep in miond that this is a very basic starting point. All I've done here so far is to make up the basic shapes and sizes of the islands. If this matches what you're going for, I'll go ahead and add the details.

    Thanks,
    Prism Shard

    Oh, in case you can't read the scale bar, I added a map grid, which is 500 miles for each square.

    Prism - I like it, though the islands are a little too close together
    as for more detail, alas I cant pay. It is just for my homebrew campaign, and I have no intentions of publishing it en mass.
    As for what I want, I need the whole campaign world. The island region is the only must, the rest of the planet is up to the creator. I should point out (if I havent already) that the planet is 3 times the size of the earth (roughly) in a solar system with 13 other planets, all of which can be clearly seen in the night sky
    Kaleda is the biggest planet in the solar system.
    It is also a trinary system, with a red giant, a white dwarf, and an average yellow. While the stars may change, though if they do it would be simply to a binary sytem, the comsic 13 of the local planets will not.
    As for map style, Im not too fussed. So long as the detail of marshlands, forests, swamps, mountains, volcanos, oceans, rivers, ect can be seen, Im happy.
    I asked here because I have 0 artistic talent when it comes to this.
