    The thumbnail script is spotty in when it works or not. If it's not working at vote time they'll add the thumbnails manually to the voting thread.

    Assuming I stick with fantasy cartography, I'd like to become a World Builder, laying out not only a realistic topography, but also the geopolitical boundaries and at least rough descriptions of the countries and societies.

    I added it for you... for some reason, 3 of the entries were not being found by the script, so I had to add to them manually(mine being one also).

    I really like what you have going here. I would recommend adding two rivers/streams coming out of the two valleys that lead to the mountains to the east. Snow melt and rain would logically gather in those valleys and flow into your river system.

    Thanks. Yeah, probably need more rivers than I have now. I'll have to see how crowded it gets. The current river system is just a quick & dirty doodle, of course.

    Little progress, due to being tired.

    A few more minor changes. The map is too crowded, so I will probably not put in any forest etc. I may still touch it in the next few days, or I may leave it like this. As the mood strikes me. But I am fairly happy with this map - especially since I know it can easily save a real purpose for example in someone's role playing game. And to me that is quite important too.

    I really like what you have here! I also think this was a clever way to use the required shape. However, your font choices really detract from the the overall quality of this map for me.
