Mystic Empyrean: Mapmaking Project

[Church]

Hello Cartographers!

Level 99 Games is currently working on the release of our first game, Mystic Empyrean, which you can check out here: www.mysticempyrean.com. We're publishing a free preview of the game on DriveThruRPG in February, and would like to include a few maps of the location where the preview adventure takes place: the great city of Nitar. The city is a spire built in several different strata, with an ancient ruin resting beneath its foundations. Nitar uses early steam technology, and has a varied political and social climate that differs with each strata.

The main commission is for a side-view cutaway of the city, showing the different strata with a few representative buildings, as well as some of the dungeon beneath it, plus a few of the major layers as slices from an overhead view. The mapmaker will have a large degree of liberty to design and flesh out the layers themselves, within a few loose guidelines. These maps would not need grids, though a scale would be handy for player reference.

This project does not have a huge budget, but the mapmaker who takes it would receive preference for working on the upcoming Mystic Empyrean corebook and other Level 99 Games projects in the future.

I look forward to hearing your ideas and bids for the project!

Payment: Our budget is in the $50~$100 range, and a good portfolio is more important than a low price (but a combination of both is obviously best ) I can pay via check or paypal, and am pretty flexible about installments and pay methods.
