Official TWG Cartographer for Hire!
« on: September 08, 2005, 12:13:31 AM »
Well, maybe not for hire.  I'll do it for the glory alone ;)

So I've had Dundjinni, a battlemap making program, for a while now and I've actually become marginally proficient in its use.  

I would like to volunteer my map making services (battlemap only) for future TWG adventures.  

Note, I only have the fantasy toolset...

I've always wondered about Dundjinni.  How is it?

Except for really, really long load times as the program populates its object registries, excellent.

If you need to make battlemaps, it's the program to use.

Cool we could use a mapper.  I'm not sure what we've got in the pipeline right now that would need one since I'm mostly involved with the Sidequests line and 42 is the main Adventure guy.  I know the one we have coming out this Friday doesn't need a map but I've been apprehensive in adding them due to my lack of map making skills.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

I'm pretty sure you could just make some maps and then we could build an adventure around them.  Stuff like dungeons, temples, crypts, caves/lairs

Actually, we need spaceships plans right now. Lots and lots of spaceships.

It's for an d20 future idea that Fell had a while back.

The first Sidequest adventure, Mind of Madness, was supposed to have a map but I cut it for various reasons.  If you want it's a very simple layout that you could practice with and I'll just add it to the PDF.

They're coming out.

You could make the jungle terrain pretty easily, though it's mostly temperate forests.

Actually the map isn't in the archive I never uploaded it.

I'll e-mail it to you Mr.P.

Also if you want to do a bunch of maps via a map-a-week feature then go ahead.
