I was too busy playing Terraria.
I will start work on the map right now!
Alright, this is what I have currently.
Thoughts?
that's really well drawn! neat!
though, i had thought it to be a solid land mass, not an island like that is, a solid land mass i feel is easier to expand from than an island.
we can use the general layout of this though!
make the desert wastes a bit bigger, though the gradient from steppes to actual desert is quite good
GAH! i'm getting unsure now.
mainly about the size of things... i'd like to have the area we start the play in be on the smaller side, about the size of a medium island (though it would be a part of solid land, maybe with a coast to the east), but i also want it to have varied landscape, so if you go north you meet the snowy mountains and the southern edge of the northern cold-wasteland, and when you head south you find the steppes and the northern edge of the southern desert.
the problem with making something big is that travel time is an actual thing, since people need to eat going from what would essentially be the next village or dungeon over on a map that size could take a month at least, maybe even more, and stocking provision as a started character (with little to no money) could prove difficult if not impossible for a journey that size until said character has made some coin.
but if we play on a small map we'll be going around in the same grassland/forest constantly, which isn't as interesting.
the map is grade A awesome and i really want to use it for something.
and for those interested.
