Thread: A Delve Map

  1. #1

    Map A Delve Map

    An oldie. Dimensions are 8.5"x55" (roughly). And not as challenging as it may seem (mapping-wise). Don't get me wrong, it was an endeavour, particularly since I had no idea what I was doing. Hoping everything flowed correctly and made sense once compiled. It was illustrated in pieces/pages. Basically 5 connecting pages. As a table top map, unless one has access to a banner printer, it is printed as 5 single pages and pieced together. Digitally it's one long-ish delve (I used to think 5 pagers were big ). Anyway, thought I'd post it here – simply to break it down.

    The premise behind this map style (illustrated iso, or faux iso, etc), is to: 1) draw a cool map; B) give a DM/GM something that requires minimal prep. Much detail sometimes equals less prep - but not always. I guess it all depends on the game, players, etc. And now I'm rambling.

    The river/stream and falls enabled me to tie everything together, giving it an overall feeling of connectivity. The dungeon and cave system were the fun parts. Basically just a bunch of tunnels and chambers with a few trappings. Each panel/page could, with a few tweaks, be used as a stand alone map/image, but the idea is that all panels work together. And they should - and therein was the biggest challenge. Okay, enough about the map. I want to get a few of these out of the way (posted) so that I can move on to the fun stuff: having a look around at the amazing talent in this joint, engaging (I'm learnin'), and WIPs.

    Very Cool. It just keeps going, down and down. Every chamber better than the one above. Well done.
