Baldur's Gate - Sword Coast map [commission]

[J.Edward]

Last year I had the pleasure and privilege to work with James Ohlen and Arcanum Worlds on this piece.
It began as the 20 year anniversary of the original Baldur's Gate video game, which I played many, many times.
And, aside from the classic crashes =P , I enjoyed immensely. Except the Flaming Fist.
Ok, ok... so I was trying to steal people's stuff and pickpocket... nobody's perfect. ;P

So this was beyond cool to work with the man who helped bring that to life way back then.
I wanted this version to be something people could be inspired by, and hopefully transported into the environment.
I hope this version will stand the test of time and be around for another 20 years.

It ended up becoming a campaign setting book over on the DMsGuild -

Definitely go pick up a copy. Works like that help more maps get made.

It was origianlly to be part of an anniversary book for Beamdog.
Beamdog is the company that revamped BG and is made up of people who originally made BG.
Not sure what changed and why, but I'll let you know when I know.

I'll be dropping a few more maps over the next few weeks, plus some closeups over on

and tumblr - https://jstevensonart.tumblr.com/
maybe even instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jstevensonart/
though IG is a bit more of a pain to work with. Like today.
shakes head. IG is just idiotic at times.

I hope you enjoy this look at the Sword Coast.
They needed it to resemble the layout of the original game, which you can find easily online.
