• Pleasant Hill is my first attempt at mapping with Adobe Photoshop. I was trying for a hand drawn style and I’m pretty happy with the results, though I think next time I’ll try to make the paper more wrinkled and give it better defined edges. What do you think? This map was made by following… [Continue Reading]

    Campaign Cartographer 3 Review
  • This map was made in the Sarah Wroot style. It’s a hand-drawn style with colorful shading that has an interesting and unique visual appeal. It’s a large file (~500 kb), so prepare for a long wait if you’re on a slow connection. I wanted to make it big enough to see the details. This map… [Continue Reading]

  • I made this isometric dungeon map using Campaign Cartographer and the Annual 2012 June edition. The map is based on the artwork of Herwin Wielink (AKA Djekspek).

    Dungeon Stronghold of a Planar Lord, by Mrrkyllothur
  • This map was made using CC3‘s Fantasy Worlds style, which is based on the artwork of Swedish cartographer Pär Lindström. This style works well for large-scale maps covering entire continents and worlds, focusing more on political boundaries and large bodies of water rather than the minutiae of specific regions, cities, waterways and smaller natural features.… [Continue Reading]

  • The Midway Inn, as made evident by it’s name, lies at the midpoint between two towns. The road is fraught with perils and the Inn stands as the only safehaven for weary travelers. But how safe is it, really…? This map pack includes files for printing as well as images to use with Virtual Table… [Continue Reading]

  • Here’s another map I made with CC3. I included two versions – one with the original map and the other with the sheet effects turned on so you can see how easy it is to take a plain map and make it look a little more polished. With sheet effects turned on: Original map:
