Hello everyone. I have fortunately stumbled across this board and write in the hopes of finding someone willing to collaborate with me to create a new map for a variant of the board game Diplomacy. I am well known in the Diplomacy variant community, and have previously designed several variants. My cartography skills are, however, rudimentary. I can devise maps which are legible and useful for play but artistry and more complex techniques are beyond me.

I think this variant is beyond my skills. A global variant, based upon the world in the year 1700, this will likely require map distortion or inset maps to emphasize certain areas of the world (probably Europe, the Caribbean and the East Indies).

To give you an idea of the type of work involved, as well as of my limited drafting skills, here is my Diplomacy website, which contains several of my Diplomacy variants: http://diplomiscellany.tripod.com/.
