I'll add some more rep of my own, just 'cause I'm crazy for Fenlon's maps, and this is a pretty good facsimile. Thanks for the reputation from both of you. I suppose I could use a blur or clone tool to reduce the tiling appearance, especially in the forests, which is where I noticed it the most. There is also some tiling in the forests which as you say is one drawback to working with cc3. The swamp texture is my least favourite in terms of how this map came out. Welcome to the Guild! Thanks for the feedback. I am really looking forward to seeing what lies beyond the Nentir Vale. What bothers me is the tiling of some of the textures, visible especially in the Witchlight Fens and forests, but I guess it is a shortcoming of CC3, one that is not easily overcome. I especially like the rivers and how you can look at the map and know at first glance that it is a valley - what I mean is that you have managed changes in the hight of the terrain very well. I really like how you've managed the terrain. My plan is eventually to work my way south and east, and perhaps even cover areas like Moonstair, Sarthel and the Dragondown coast.Ī beautiful map and great use of CC3. I've designed the map so that I can remove any or all the labels so that I'm not revealing too much to my playing group.Īnyway, the nice thing about this map is that I can keep expanding it. This includes most of what is present (I think) in the various Nentir Vale resources that are out there. This was too good to pass up, and it would give me a way to cut my teeth on the program.Īnyway, here's how my first attempt has turned out. When I went to buy CC3 imagine my surprise to see the Annual 2008 containing symbols in Pete Fenlon's style.
Working with the stock maps was fine, but I looked into Campaign Cartographer 3 as a way of enhancing the game. I was admittedly taken with the maps that Pete Fenlon did, and when I had a chance to write for them to actually see some of my own ideas done with his hand had me nerding out big-time.įast forward to the present, after having returned to my home town after a decade and a half, my old RPG group has come back together, and oddly enough we are playing 4th edition D&D and enjoying ourselves immensely. Some 20 years ago, I both played and wrote a few books for Iron Crown Enterprises, four of which were for their Middle-earth Role Playing game. I decided to give it a shot and share my first attempt at doing an overland map using the CC3 program.įirst, an introduction of sorts. I'm brand new to CC3, and to the Cartographer's Guild.
