That really does bring back memories. Very nice indeed.
Old School Blue is in the air. I went with a less neon blue (it was easier on my eyes).

I love it! So many good ideas here.
I have been really busy at work the last few (6) months and normally I don't have much preparation time before I run a game on Sunday. So I tend to just shoot from the hip and make up stuff as I go along. It helps to have a nice map to focus on and get ideas from. All the maps in this thread have given me months of adventures to pull out of my butt at the last minute. =)
Glad to been of service, wormspeaker. I really have to go back and finish those underground water city maps one of these days. Same with my latest town map. I have a few things keeping me busy at the moment.
I should use part of your post for my tagline: "Paratime Design cartography - making maps so you can pull adventures out of your butt at the last minute."(just kidding)

It seems that way doesn't it.I know the blue maps were a hit at the Dragonsfoot boards (where Old school is King).
I have to admit that at first I was not really interested in blue maps since they don't hold any appeal to me either way (I find some blues are hard on my eyes). Once I drew a few, I had so much fun that I became a convert. I plan on doing a few more blue maps to help fill out the folder on my cartography site and then I will mix things up here & there.![]()

Here's a maze done in Old School Blue:

Yes, there is no exit. If you want to be really evil, the exit could be via an underground stream that feeds the pool or some sort of teleporter (to a new location even more dangerous?). Or it could just be a place with no exit where the condemn are sent to be killed by the occupants.
Okay, back to work for me.
