New Fantasy Map Maker Blog Feature – Rate My Maps

by Fantasy Map Maker on November 11, 2008

Most of you subscribe to Fantasy Map Maker via email or RSS feeds – and for that I am grateful. If, however, you wouldn’t mind stopping by the site, I’ve implemented a new rating system for my maps and I’d love to get your feedback.

Rating the maps will help me see what you like (and what you don’t like) so hopefully I can then give you more of what you like.

At the bottom of each post you’ll see five lonely stars waiting for your sweet caress. Click on the star that best expresses how much you like that map (or post).

1 star = horrible, 5 stars = awesome.

Abuse me. Praise me. Just don’t ignore me! =P

by Fantasy Map Maker on November 11, 2008

If you love reading fantasy literature, you know that most good stories require a good map. If you’re having trouble finding a map for the story you’re reading, try the Fantasy Cartography website. They have a great collection of maps based on fantasy worlds you’re already familiar with.

In their own words:

It happens all the time. You’re reading one of your favorite novels, and you wish you had a good map to use as a reference. Here you will find a collection of maps from various fantasy and science fiction works for your viewing. I might also include other goodies from literature, the Bible (not fiction), or television programs, movies, and video games.

Check out their maps!

Apparently, they provide a virtual tabletop environment for gamers who play at a distance. I hope to check it out soon – right now we use a combination of skype and tokbox, but it looks like RPG Tonight might do the [...]

In the beginning…

December 19, 2006

The first few maps are live! They’re not the best maps you’ll ever come across, but what do you expect for free?
Hopefully the learning curve won’t be too steep and I can start producing much better stuff soon. I’ve been told that “practice makes perfect,” so you can look forward to a lot of mediocre [...]
