Thread: Wanted: Campaign map

    Post Wanted: Campaign map

    Hi, I'm a first-time DM who is new to 4e and actual campaigns (my friends and I would just improvise adventures or download them off the internet) my group consisits of 3 neophytes and one seasoned player. I would be very appreceiative of any world maps you would care to create for me. I'm happy with any map as long as it has 3 features: there has to be one quite large ocean between two continents, at the middle of that ocean there has to be some sort of icon of a city built on docks or something of that sort and over it there has to be the words "Stormport" (integral to the campaign) and last of all I LOVE BIG MAPS!!!

    Any particular style? I could knock one out really quickly using FT, but it will look either like what you might see from a satellite photo or an atlas.

    I can't promise "Stormport" but my campaign world has got the required ocean
    It's also got lots of varied cultures to explore. Are you sold yet?

    There is a big island between Hanrath and Al-Haquim. With a little editing ... there could be a port city there.

    Welcome to the guild. I suggest, pickup or not, you get a program that will let you at least label a map for your own use. Try Paint dot Net. It will take a graphic and allow you to write on it.

    Then you can serf for the perfect map and mod it a bit for your purposes.

    Or you could just steal (borrow) the community world (see the CWBP forum). That should give you half your campaign map straight off.
