Mapping

A beautiful map !

It is perhaps less desert and more water than I had expected, but it really
looks fine.

I do not know what Puck and Rurik will think about the idea to put The Green
and Portal on different continents, but at the moment I do not see a real
problem, provided both are still close enough to enable Puck's corsairs from
the coast of The Green to prey on the sea trade to and from Portal.

Sky mountain might have been better as a vulcano, but I wasn't able to google any images that fit. Anyone else that have had better results?

Looks nice.
I don't think the green needs to be on the same continent as Portal. The green should be somewhat difficult to get to depending on the sea-going technology. For instance India, Africa, possibly the Americas to a Europe-centric world. This would keep it a little more wild and mysterious.

Thanks for the replies. I've been a bit busy the last days as I've just started in a new job and bought an appartment, but I hope to have a more detailed map up by the weekend. I'll expand the desert, and put the Portal to the north and the Green to the south.

Just made a sketch of the whole Green. Hopefully it is moderately visible. I thought the western section (upper green) would be further from civilization. While the Lower green would fade in intensity and be more tamed, have bigger cities, plantations, and be closer to the rest of the developed world. The lower green would remain more open for future developement. Does this work?

Made some more work on the map - expanded the desert a bit and worked a bit on the portal/hell ruins and the land west of this. I've added a "Maps" category in the gallery where I've uploaded some parts of it.

Maybe you could post yours there too Puck?

By the way, would it be a problem if the mountains were to the south and the coast to the north for the Green?

Wow! I was kind of thinking this place should be called the ecoing cavern rather than the gamer's cavern. I just ordered the 0 edition so I thought that in accordance with my luck everyone lost intrest.

I am going to try to load that map of the greater Green into the map section. I will try to load a bigger picture, if it is too big let me know. I have been working on a smaller, more detailed version of the upper Green but it may be a while as I keep erasing and re-arranging.

By the way, would it be a problem if the mountains were to the south and the coast to the north for the Green?

I think it would be a bit of a problem to flip the whole thing now. What do you have in mind? Are there possible other solutions?

A very good map, and also a good center region for the Shared World. I only
have to get used to the "upside down"-Green.

Not at all - but my copy of the Zero Edition meanwhile has arrived, and I am
somewhat busy with "reengineering" my Pharos IV setting.

However, I am still looking forward to reading more about The Green !

Congradulations! I saw that you had become one of the "numbered" elite on the other forum. Seeing that you had taken the plunge kind of inspired me. Mine should arrive in a day or two; at least my game store owner tells me. It was suppose to arrive today, but I think he forgot to order it.
