Very nice maps and background material. I myself also like to draw detailed maps but can't do anything compared to yours . You got talent! :)

Nice to see these. They bring back memories of my own creations, all now lost I think! The largest of these was a hand drawn copy of Middle Earth from the LotR hardback onto an A0 page.

Your handwriting in the first few is particularly atmospheric. For me this was they key, not just the drawing but the background and history of why a particular setting existed and how the scenario fitted into that background.

Well done.

Many thanks for the kind comments guys.. just really happy that these
old things are no longer lost in the dusty box in the attic so to speak.

if anybody can use any of them .. feel free, i've put them on some
role playing forums for that reason.. would be chuffed to think some
one else got some fun out of them.

cheers.

Very nicely done.  Thanks for sharing.  I may end up using some of those for our recently started foray back into 2nd Ed AD&D. 
So many games, so little time.

I don't know what it is, but I love a good map! Maybe it's the possibilities they represent?

Anyway, these are great!

Maps are great and these make a nice change to my fave OS ones I like to squint at in gale force winds on top of Cumbrian mountains!  :D
