Damn squirels.

Speaking of the hex sizes...have you done a version of the map with a hex grid laid over it?

Sent you a PM.

I would probably target each hex as somewhere in the realm of 20-30 miles [outside extremes of 10 and 50 miles]. It would depend on what you think of as kingdoms though.

 

25 miles makes the Red Country just about midwest state sized [OK, CO, AR, NE, Ect...] that is pretty big for middle ages but again alot of that depends on how you set things up.

 

I think I would do 25.

I was thinking along the same lines. I might stretch it to 30 though. Thanks for the input.

Can I borrow it? I haven't the skill or software for making maps...do you have any objections to me using yours?

 

Sure, you can borrow it. All I ask is that you don't publish it on the web (or publication), since that is essentially what I am doing with it. If you want it for your own game at home, no worries. I can even supply you with a larger viersion if you'd like.

The map looks pretty good. One strange point in it....the northern "blue kingdom" river really could not flow the way it does on the map without some really strange geography.

 

Got a scale yet?

Thanks.

 

Uh... Let's chalk it up to some really strange geography then.

 

I'm still kicking around the scale. Any suggestions?

Just 'cause it occurs to me....

 

The Blue country, unless there is relatively easy movement through the mountain range (which their might well be - I can see a couple places I would put a pass) stands a real risk of being cut off from its "other half" by the Red country.

 

On the side, I love the map.

Thanks.

 

And, there's actually a method to my madness with thie way blue landed. Initially, blue had control of the whole continent. An earth-shattering event enabled the other "nations" to split away from blue's control. So, the newer nations are still managing with the start-up of their new governments, while blue is too busy dealing with recovery to reign them back in. Make sense? I don't know. I thought it all up at about four in the morning.

Thanks.

 

Here's a sample of the political map. Orginally, I didn't think it would be broken down into 5 different factions until I was brainstorming last night instead of sleeping.

What program are you using for it?

Actually it's all from scratch using Ulead's PhotoImpact (like Photoshop). I tried utilizing map making software, but don't have the patience for the learning curve.

Here's an image of the map I'm creating for my fantasy hero setting "Nulan" Of Dragons' Blood". Hopefully, I'll have more to share soon.

 

If only I still had all of the rpg books that I've owned throughout my life.

Inspirational thread to say the least.

Having been out of the Champions loop for awhile (since around the 2nd edition) it's good to know about UNTIL Superpowers Database. I'll check it out. Thanks.
