    Non-Hex Map of the Flanaess

    I'm certainly no Darlene, but perhaps some will enjoy this non-hex map of the Flanaess I made:



    Here's a link to the full-sized map (approximately 4' by 3'):

    Happy holidays to everybody!

    Nice! You should post that over at K&KA too. Lots of Greyhawk fans there.

    Edit: I see that you already did!

    Yeah, not to worry - I immediately strew any rubbish I create over every forum I visit.
    Glad everybody liked it!

    Re: Non-Hex Map of the Flanaess

    Here is a revised version of the map.  I found nicer heraldry shields, mostly by Greyhawk cartographer Anna B. Meyer, and added them to the map with a shadow effect.  I think the result is much more polished-looking:



    The map is also slightly larger (as close to 4' x 3' as humanly possible) and exported at maximum quality, because I'm probably going to actually have it printed for possible eventual game use.  The full sized map is available at the following link:

    Happy New Year to all fans of Greyhawk and Hyperborea!

    Re: Non-Hex Map of the Flanaess

    Here is the final version of this map. It just has a few trivial changes over the last map, fixing things like mountains overlapping river mouths, plus a tiny amount of work "by hand"; I changed a couple dozen pixels that weren't quite the way I wanted. Anyway, this is definitely the final version - I'm sending it to be printed, and after I do that I refuse to nitpick it any more. Happy gaming in Greyhawk and Hyperborea!

    Re: Non-Hex Map of the Flanaess

    In a surprise development, I tinkered with the map some more, by making the texture of the forests somewhat finer. I think it's fit to print now:


    All links have been edited to point to this, the for-real-this-time, double-dog-dare, pinky-swear final version (maybe). Happy gaming!

    Hey, did you update the forests on the version without the labels, as well?

    I'm looking to use your map for my AS&SH-centered revision of Greyhawk, called Blackhawk.

    The unlabeled map has now been updated to reflect all the improvements I've made.  Losing the fig leaves of fancy writing and pretty heraldry rather lays bare the shortcomings of my cartography, but what can you do?

    Good luck with your project!
