    Default The Next Lite Challenge

    I'll be travelling for the next 2 weeks, so I am going to do the same thing that Diamond is doing: keep the challenge in a 1 month format, but skip every other month.
    I will see if I can set it up so it minimizes the overlap with the regular challenge.

    ALSO, I need Ideas. If you have a topic or type of map you would like to see used in the challenge, then post your ideas here, Thanks.

    An hidden message.

    Create a map thet hide a message or a symbol, so when you create the map, have to have in mind the secret you wanna hide. For expamle, the capitol letters of the cities form a word, or you can find a magic symbol if you trace a line between some locations.
    As and additional step, everyone who participate the challenge, could give a hint to find the secret, like a game.

    I have suggested this before , but I would love to see "map a historical style" for a mapping challenge.

    Yes, I like this one. I could revisit some earlier maps like:

    or the much less subtle

    An Idea. Map a small village, with some important buildings and then at least two points of interests in or on the outskirts of the town for Adventurers to visit.

    Map Bogie's 2 week itinerary.

    Where is he going? Maybe he's going to Colorado to buy some weed. Or going to space with Uncle Jeff. Perhaps it's not 2 weeks but 2 months to go and colonise some far off lands, Captain Bogie commander of the Good Ship Cartoguild. He may have discovered a hidden labyrinth beneath his house and he's off to explore its hidden depths. Or taking his horse off into the mountains to prospect for gold.

    Actually, I will be lost on a journey exploring my mind,,,, or possibly just on a much needed vacation.

    How about mapping your home/hometown/area around your home?

    That was a challenge a few years ago. I started to do a map of a local Iron Age religious site that was very likely connected to Boudicca's tribe but I got so deep into the research I forgot about the map

    Revisiting it might be an opportunity for me to start over with it.

    Map Bogie's Mind

    Or do you think it would get the site shut down?
