Okay, so the one titled Claymore's Map was given to the party cleric by a mysterious stranger. The heroes have no idea what it means or why Claymore was the one to receive it (the man bumped Claymore while running from the guard and slipped it into his pocket), but they have had it analyzed and been assured that the runic writing is Old Dwarven. The sage had no idea what manner of writing the other was, and could not decipher it. For now, the map remains an enigma. Claymore's map was done by hand in Photoshop by layering over the original campaign map, making a rough outline, and then transferring it a scroll background.
The two Gazetteer maps (hexed and unhexed) were both done in Photoshop. The map itself was a redress of a map from an earlier (failed) campaign setting of mine. I changed several landforms and swapped the names of places (the original map was in German because the campaign was in a region that was Germanic in origin). The hex grid was an overlay I had lying about on my hard disk.
The map of Hapsdale was done in Photoshop, but from an original work created with a program I found on the Web (http://www.stargazersworld.com/2009/...map-generator/). I used the program to generate the base map and then added and deleted buildings, trees, and water features until I had the town like I wanted it. Hapsdale is a village of about 200 people and served as the home base for the characters until recently. Deepwater is soon to become their new base of operations.
So, feel free to use them if you find them worthy. If you like what you see, praise is always appreciated. Constructive criticism is accepted graciously.
