Just a heads up, if you want to share a bigger file, just let me know and we can arrange that.

PM sent. File ready to be uploaded.

Guys,
I managed to reduce the size of the .psd file by merging what was easy without losing the possibility to adjust the looking according to your wishes.
There are going to be about still 15 layers up that you can hide/reveal/ change etc. To save some Mb, I merged the mountains/ forests/ hills/scar/Endless Ice. If it's inconvenient, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Have a look at the layers:


This way, you'll be able to add your own stuff, copy the scrolls and add your homemade towns/ places or remove the roads make your own and so forth.
The font used for cities is "handserif" size14 (http://www.dafont.com/handserif.font)
The font used for the River is Trinigan size 18 and 14 (http://www.fontspace.com/fontgrube/trinigan-fg)
The font used for the Mountains is Brubeck size 30 and 24 (http://www.dafont.com/brubeck.font)
The font used for the regions is Rosemary 100 and 48 (http://www.dafont.com/rosemary-roman.font)

Really great ! Merci beaucoup !
...
Hu? But... who was that?
(Such a great great job that I had to thanks you even if I was willing to silently lurk this forum - a true milthral mine - before introducing me.
Your map is so bright that it dispelled the shades where I'm hidding since a few month, and for some more, until I've digest at leat a part of it.)

PS: Mmmm, sweet, now I have to convince my mate that it will be perfect as a new bedroom wallpaper !

I guess it will do - I was hoping for a full 3D, holographic, latitude/longitude lined, GPS compatible, IR readable, scratch 'n sniff map. I will settle for the fancy, old world style, high res, make the players say 'where did you get that??'  version for now. 

Really good job

Yeah, I really stinks at mapping, you know
Next time I'll try to make that 

[Dain]

Hi guys,
The original map is ready there:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O31NYC35

It's gonna be available for 1 month I believe, but Nif will make it also available from the download section by this time
Hope you'll find it useful

file is 135.74MB, quite big

[Nifelhein]

I will give some time for people to download it from megaupload so that I don't have to pay for any extra bandwidth, if anyone hits the link and it is dead, drop me a line and I will make the file available here.

[Nifelhein]

The download is now at the site.

Hey , just a quick stop by the forum to advice a point regarding the map!

Still a wonderful job, but is Dain is still open to correction suggestion?
It seems that the Emerald tears and the Trollskard forest are "misplaced", as they seems to be east of the road of ruins in baden's book map.

I figured this out trying to find nasty things on the way of my Cos player between Troskard and Caradul.
Crossing again this road shall be a nice aperitif before stepping in the ash plain.

I guess maps are never supposed to be exact, it is our GM word to remain flexible and may even add a little flavor when PC are provided inexact maps,
but still this area more inline with the books would remain a nice to have for, and as I know works is being done on the new maps...

Thanks and regards !

[Dain]

As far as I remember, the area around Trollskarl varies depending which book you're looking from. In MN2E, the river doesn't go in the same direction, for instance. I think I kept the one from MN2E.
I believe Under the shadow was done before MN2E and explains the difference.

But I'll have a look, asap. I hate doing something wrong
thanks for leading my eye to this!

Dain,

I just wanted to say that your map is really cool.  If I ever see it for sale at my FLGS, I would buy a copy.
