Nameless (Points of Light / D&D 4th Edition)

Looking Good; I can't wait to see it finished.

Sound like you are on the good road to sucess.

My only comment would be about this:
You and many other peoples who post handmade map should take about 10 minutes to just do some clean cut between sea and land.

I post here a fast example of your previous map. Sorry if I made some rough cut at the original map.

Than again, maybe it's just me that is too grumpy

anyway continue your good work,
Alu.

Working on it still Just came back from cinema (Sweeny Todd rules!) ^_^

About the clean-cut tip from alucard, I thank you for it. When I begin my coloration I mostly go and make the water-parts first. Mostly handwork, as the wonder-selection or what it is called doesnt do the job as I would like it to.
You know any good tips for that tool? Anything might help!

Also I found that I dislike the "cloud" effect a little in it'`s normal state. I am experimenting with it like in a tutorial i read here a week ago...

ALso a question for the real-world geography-guys/gals: Do rivers cross the flatland to another part of the ocean like in my regional map?

Thanks in advance, Thanks for the nice comments, more will come soon! *mwahaha*

No, they won't do that unless there is something strange happening. If there is a place where the land is below sea level, you might wind up with a tidal island, but not a river.

[MadLetter]

Okay, thanks Midgardsormr (sp?).

Then I will simply scrap that map and make a new one
Note to self: You should know your stuff when makin maps. /note

If you're interested in gaining more knowledge on how terrain works, Expeditious Retreat Press released a very useful guide for free:

btw, yes, you spelled it right! If you prefer, though, just abbreviate the name to "Mid."

[MadLetter]

Okay, Mid it is then! [although the only problem with the name is the ending, as Midgard is pretty easy to remember...]

Thanks for the guide, I will surely take a look!

[Midgardsormr]

Trouble is, if you shorten it to Midgard it becomes a place-name rather than a mythical beast. I've not met too many people named after places that I wanted to spend a lot of time around. But "Mid" describes me perfectly: average in almost every respect.

XRP's other freebie, the City Guide, is very good, too. http://www.yourgamesnow.com/index.ph...&products_id=2

[MadLetter]

Thanks again
I know that the name Midgard refers to a place, but not the part about Midgardsormr being a mythical beast (gotta look it up soon).
Gotta look at the city guide, too
