the highlighting around the dark gray text on a light gray background makes it very hard on the eyes to read
maybe a bit of tone changes ?

I thought I'd give this a shot. I think I might have the scale on the lighting a bit off, but I'll try again later.

I'm so glad you decided to put the Guild City invisible island on the cover

Welcome to the Challenge Waldronate! The yellow is a bit bright, but maybe it will look ok on a map background.

The yellow border with the black text was supposed to be reminiscent of a product logo or something. I think that I may have the lighting worked out. Now it looks more like a bad geography textbook cover.

The original was twice this resolution and not suffering from JPEG artifacts.

I think its quite beautiful, really. I love crinkly land textures

If I get more ambitious, I might go with lots of little blocks of styles in the manner of the background on the Wilbur download page. There were only 4 blocks because there were once only 4 styles to see. There are a few (dozen) more, now. The full-resolution, 15.5MB view can be found at https://www.dropbox.com/s/xm61zejaec...r_max.jpg?dl=0 if you want to burn some bandwidth and have a dropbox account.
For best results, I need to figure out what font I used for the Wilbur logo 20+ years ago. The online font matchers really don't seem to like disjoint glyphs.

Who knew Wilbur could be so much fun?!

Once you get under the covers, who knows what you'll find?
I tried but I never been able to do somethink with Wilbur, so I admire your work ! Will you do something with the yellow border ?
