I see that the original World Map needs some updating as it is very dated on both the original fandom site and the new wiki site that is being populated. Currently I am attempting it using Grid Cartographer and I can mostly replicate it. I do have issues with the rivers, roads, and rocks and will probably have to use another app for them. Ideally, I would just use the same application that JustinTyme used years ago to create the maps. However, I attempted to reach out to JustinTyme to see if I could find out what application he used to create it but unfortunately none of the email addresses listed for him are active anymore.
Does anyone know what application was used to create the World and Dungeon maps? I would like to add Fafnir's Swamp, the summer beach, and add more detail to the existing Avalon map as well as include Avalon in the full World map. Anyone who could point me in the right direction would be helpful. If I could use the original application, it may be easier than what I am currently attempting to do from scratch.
I ended up building out Fafnir's Swamp but I also cleaned up Ascetos Desert while I was at it. I never liked looking at all those numbers filled into each square. Now it looks more on par with the rest of the continent. I enlarged the map size to 2560x1440 and moved the main continent lower to the bottom of the document with the hope of adding Avalon later in the upper right section. The map legend was updated to reflect additions of Fafnir's Swamp, The Dragon Pit, and two icons. I realized I did not add an icon for the burnt trees in Ascetos but I will add that later when the whole legend gets an overhaul.
Awesome work, both of you! :)
This is great stuff! Is it worth putting in the locations of the heroic dungeons?
Sorry for the delayed response to this post. I will go back and add heroic dungeons as well. In the meantime, I have added Avalon and all its dungeons and the Crystal Caverns entrances. Speaking of Crystal Caverns, I am about a quarter of the way through creating that map. I know the GM that parks at the Avalon TP has a link to a picture in his bio, I feel like not everyone knows that so I am putting it up onto the Wiki. Even though it's technically part of the overworld since it has roaming bosses, I won't add it to the main world map and will keep it separate. Since I do not know what Hijinks or Justintyme used for their graphics design, to keep everything similar to the other maps, I have resorted to using MS Paint. It's slow going but it does the job. If I have the drive, I may also go back and standardize some of the other maps like Holy Caves, Church of Damnation, The Dig, The Foundry, and Tunnels of Death leaving credit to the original authors.
Thanks for the update. Don't if this will help, but I'll tell you in the form of a good news/bad news joke. The good news is that I've made a map of Crystal Caverns. The bad news is that it's in Microsoft Excel.
Here are the Maps I made that I have linked in my bio in game, feel free to edit/use them as you wish.
The color outlines of the rooms in the Crystal Caverns map match the type of color crystals are in those rooms as well as able to drop from NPC's in those rooms.
I made my Excel map into a jpeg:
