New Roleplay Map

Hi, I might not be able to create the squares because I'm still searching through my computer for a half-decent program

for this sort of thing. But still reserve about 6 or 7 squares in the east for me. By the way, what program did you use?

Wish me luck (please?),

Well, I found a program

. Unfortunately it's a little restricted but I think it's the same Lamanda2 has been using. Anyway, here goes-

Well, tell me what you guys think.

Edit: I forgot to tell you, this is the very south-most portion of the ### lands, the 3-claw river is their southern bourder. The barowrock Keep is the second-largest city in the ### lands and is the second line of defense for the outpost/harbor. The graveyard forest earned it's name by being the land of a great battle between the (I'm not sure yet)'s and the ###, being nurtured by the corpses, the woods grew almost as a living memorial. The single road that leads through it is not often traveled except by the most ambitous merchants and biggest idiots. Once again, tell me what you think.

Edit 2: I drew up another one just for the heck of it, so here you go- http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/max12 ... uare_2.bmp
-the scale is a bit off, but I'm too tired right now to redraw and rescale it. Tell me what you think.

Those are two wonderful maps Nazgul- one problem that I noticed, you named a town or something with the word 'Wolfpack', but we weren't allowing official factions, just made up ones.

Not too sure if you will need to change it, I would say it's all up to the 'All Powerful Mod'

Delurking here --

I would like the echo Mike and encourage you guys start actually roleplaying before you start making any more maps.

Really

, oh, I guess I was sort of in the dark for the whole faction buisness, but I'll change the map if you want me too.

Ok, Nazgul, I need to know where these two squares are on the grid. Just tell me how many squares away from Wellestown they are in two directions, and I'll add them. I might have to crop the second one a bit, because it isn't square, and might not fit well in the grid.

Also, I'd like to echo Formendacil and Nathan, and say that I think we have enough maps for now. I think Ziggy should be able to finish up his squares, but then, stop for a while. Right now, there are plenty of places to explore in the grid:

Unless you really need more space, these places should be sufficient.

Oh, and Lamanda, since Formendacil said yes, you're now the assistant map keeper.

Edit: In the future, if possible, please provide JPGs, GIFs, or PNGs. I think I can open the BMPs in Photoshop, but I'm not sure. Nazgul, I'm going to put the second map in the folder, but you should probably change the Wolfpack name in the first one to something like 'outlaws' or 'bandits', or something similar.

Edit 2: Nazgul, if you don't mind, I'm just going to choose some squares on the grid for you–say, in the far south east?

Wow, things are deffinately developing as of late. Now that maps are taken care off, why doesn't someone make an official creature database for this RP? Where people can post lego creations of creature races they want in the RP. And if it's unnmakeable due to lack of pieces, do a best description, ask someone else to attempt it, or draw it, and if you choose the description, someone may take it upon themselves to make it out of lego.

Just a thought.

But I agree, I think the maps are good for now. I may finish up my little town and with permission place it a already made square.

Put the right-most square 5th row from the right and 2nd row from the top. I've redone it so that there's no wolfpack titles on the maps; I'm redoing the two squares so they fit together and I'm working on 2 more squares beneath the ones I've already done. By the way, you might want to make the overall grid a bit larger. Just a thought. Thanks for the ideas

.(sorry, about not picking the south-east but I had intended to add to the north-east when I first started)

Ok, nazgul, when you're done with those new maps, just upload them and PM them to me. The grid is now called 'Map_Grid_1', because whenever I update it, it reverts to an older version when it's uploaded. Here's the new grid:

Nazgul, I gave you what I thought you wanted, plus a few extra squares that you don't have to fill in. At the top of this page, you said you wanted 6 or 7 squares, so there you are.

Ah

, excelent, I've nearly finished the next two squares. But I was wondering if you could change that far right one to the top right? I had a (what I thought was) a neat idea for the top of the "land mass". TYVM.

Edit: I've finished the 4 squares and am waiting for smcginnis to reply to my PM. For those of you interested, here's a deeplink-

If anything needs to be changed please let me know.

Ok, I guess i'll edit my signature then.

Yeah, the number of maps is fine for now, I may just add one, seeing as that is where my roleplay character is located, I think it is neccessary.

Sorry if I made myself unclear,I wanted the one on top of the middle maps

,I don`t want to be so far out. So if you don`t mind I meant the sqare over the middle maps.Put the two on top of them Wilderness and then the right on top of those mine,understand?The map should look like this:
ZZW
WWW
MMM
MMM
Makes any sense?(Zs are mine Ws wilderness and M the middle squares,follow)

Oh, ok. I can't do it here, I'm at my grandparents house, but I'll do it later. I might get home late, so it might not be done until tomorrow. Is this what you want?

Z for Ziggy, L for Land (wilderness), and E for Existing.

Alright, I've finished 6/7ths of the map and I'm feeling a slight tinge of pride. Anyway, for the few that will actually look at it, here you go-
