Edsel Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: My Cool Color Hudson City Map But then I'd imagine that you'd have the problem of people running off numerous copies and distributing them. An even bigger problem would be the PDF finding its way onto the web. Of course if someone has access to the right equipment and are willing to they could do the same thing with a hard copy. There just isn't an easy answer to this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithcurtis Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: My Cool Color Hudson City Map Steve already has his own' date=' [i']much more impressive[/i] map (see the first posts in this thread) and surely If one could be produced he can produce more. If I understand correctly his problem is finding a way to reproduce it economically enough to make it a viable product. My own map is functionally useful for my game but it lacks the artistic quality of the map that Keith Curtis produced. Anybody who can backengineer that map (the most complex I've ever produced) from the printed segments has my vast respect. That's a monumental undertaking.

RPMiller Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Re: My Cool Color Hudson City Map When I used to be a draftsman in my former life, I worked for an engineering company that worked for the military I had to use both MicroStation and AutoCAD. I will attest to the difficulty of conversions between the two, however I found a great deal of success using DXF has the translation format. You lose a lot of the color fills for polys, but those are easy enough to recreate after you polyline them back together again. As an aside, MicroStation rules!

Skycast Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Re: My Cool Color Hudson City Map Well, if this isn't thread necromancy I don't know what is! As a newcomer to Hudson City, I would LOVE to have access to this color map in PDF format so I can print it out in size/detail as I desire. After reading Hudson City it's rapidly becoming my city of choice for "modernish" games and I'm planning on using it in a pulp era game. Anymore thought to making this available via PDF?

I use HC for all my "Modern" city games too. It works great for Pulp games. By the way, Thrilling Places has a hidden China Town street "Street of the Emerald Bird" that is based in HC.

Shaft Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Re: My Cool Color Hudson City Map Is the Liaden subway station in Moscow West (corner of Huron and Macon, p22 or p69, Hudson City) named after the Faceless One? Or is that a coincidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithcurtis Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Re: My Cool Color Hudson City Map No coincidence. Lots of fans and freelancers have names in Hero products. Most of them are the result of Hero's program to generate donations for the CBLDF. Others are there because some mad mapmaker wanted to put friends, family members and pets in.

Choldath Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: My Cool Color Hudson City Map Heck, I'd like to see it as a Desktop Wallpaper. I took the TA and blew it up by 200% in Paint and saved it as a PDF. No distortion and it's about 2.25 x 2.25 pages landscape. Sure, you have to cut it out, but it looks great in black and white on my wall. Cheap, but effective! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choldath Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Re: My Cool Color Hudson City Map Correct. I also did the same to the Tuala Morn. I took the map and blew it up to 390%. Considerably larger, but the smaller writing is pretty much unreadable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Publius Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Re: My Cool Color Hudson City Map It just so happens that there are full color maps of Tuala Morn that can be resized easily... Getting one of the whole land might be a bit harder though... Myself, I am still very interested in the Full color maps of Hudson City.

Can anyone comment on the availability or whereabouts of a digital version of that spiffy color Hudson City map? Tuala Mourn is the newest FH setting book. An very cool celtic'ish world that has some cool maps. Nothing to do with Hudson City at all. But they both have MAPS So far the no spiffy color Hudson City map is available. Steve has one and Edsel made himself one. But there isn't one for purchase and it doesn't look like it may ever happen. But I believe that if there is enough whining and people poking and prodding, they might put out a high resolution PDF version just to shut us up What?? It could happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I come across much differently on message boards than I do in normal circumstances. I've heard: "I hate you on the boards" upon meeting people for the first time more than once P.S. In fact you gave me my first REP point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
