I don't know about y'all, but I'm still worn out after last month's mega-challenge. So let's do something fun this month. XCali had a great idea:

So, either ye create an island chain map, or a delta region that is up for exploration of a Pirate crew, or create yerself an encounter map that is set on the highseas where storms and beasties abound. There be many possibilities!

Who be with me?!!! Ready your blades and quills and let there be adventure!
Your challenge this month is to create a pirate-themed map. XCali mentioned three examples above, but let the skies be your limit, my friends. As long as the map is definitely piratical in nature and would be viewed that way by an innocent bystander who knows nothing of this challenge, you're good.

The usual errata:

  • Please make sure to title your threads like so: April 2019 Challenge: <<your title here>>
  • Also please do not forget to insert this tag before each work-in-progress picture you post: ### Latest WIP ### There's even a handy little button for it, in the middle row of the tool bar. For the new folks out there, this is so your map shows up in the thumbnail image scraper and people will be able to see it at voting time.
  • This challenge will end Tuesday, April 30th, at or around 9PM Pacific time.


Now go forth and map, ye scurvy scalawags!
