    Default Map of epic announcements for D&D (hand-drawn)

    I must confess, I don't like D&D.
    And I hate Forgotten Realms.
    But one of my friend asked me for map of the Sword Coast North.
    And since it was April Fool's Day, so...
    So I drew map for him.
    But to make it draw more enjoyable for me, I've put up with a variety of absurd announcements.

    The big red dot says "Here you are".

    The content of advertisements is stupid and ridiculous, ie:
    - the farmer is looking for low-level heroes to harvest turnips;
    - a group of noble paladins looking for a virtuous bard;
    - the fechmaster promises to teach mages, priests and thieves fencing with a long sword;
    - dwarf-ninja, halfling-berserker and orc-bard are looking for an honest job;

    And so on, and so on. If you want, I can translate this.
    You can also take a map scan and put your own texts there. Why not.

    Amazing. The art is lovely even without knowing what it says, but knowing that's the level of the text, that's great.

    Haha, the info on the piece of papers scattered around the map are sooo funny.
    "Początkujących bohaterów zatrudnię od zaraz przy zbiorach rzepy" haha, so mundane and real, yet that is how you advance to level 2.

    This looks great! I've no idea what any of it says, but as a map it looks really nice. The labels look lovely!

    The trees must have taken a bit of hand-ache though!

    I thought the same thing when I saw this map. A superb and very clean result. The touch of humor is a plus for a map taken up so many times. Well done.
