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.

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

wow, pretty! Thanks for showing us. My paps are always hastily scrawled on bits of paper, then shoved in the recyling.

makes me wish I was a bit more OC about them now.

Hi,

Just come across this while looking for something else. Just wanted to say that there is some fantastic work there and some great inspirational ideas for games. Brings back great memories of late nights huddled round the dining table. Must get back into AD&D soon.

Cheers

Richard

Very very cool.  Very reminiscent of old Dragon and WD magazine maps for campaigns etc.  Very slick.

The maps remind me of the many (many) hours we put into Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay in the late 80s and early 90s. Very nostalgic and enjoyable. Thanks.
