I'm working on a map that incorporates the assumed setting. Currently still in work. For Informations sake: The grey area is what's left of Arkhosia (you could call it "nuked to hell" in a literal way a bit) To the west you have many asian sounding names, which is intended. I retooled halflings to a somewhat asian flavor for my games. I did the map by handdrawing + scanning + Photoshopping. "Small version:"

Anyone can tell me where I can upload a full-sized version of 40 megapixels? Photobucket does resize it...  So far I've seen a bunch of good maps here. If you guys want, check in to the Cartographers Guild ! :D

If you like the late 80's/early 90's TSR/Dragon style hex maps (remember the Voyages of the Princess Ark series) I have some hex map brushes for GIMP (a free, rich image editing program.) Hex map brushes for GIMP (There's a sample map and map key on the page.)

I found a map of America drawn before they had a really good grasp of what America actually looked like. So you'd never know unless you knew. I photoshopped out all the place names, and will add my own place names as I develop the world. The map is shown here: "Small version:"

This is an early WiP map for a small portion of my game world. Lots more cities, roads, mountains and forests to add still…

Here are my maps for my current campaign. The world is supposed to have an 'ancient world' feel; the Meridian Empire had controlled most of the city-states and kingdoms around the Mare Internum, but the Red Death plague of circa 30 years ago devastated the 'known world' and created the POL type setting. Caledonia, a large island in the northern part of the western hemisphere, was a Meridian province (similar to Roman-era Britain) but when the Legions were pulled home, one of the provincial governors declared himself King and Caledonia is independent, for now. Here are two maps of the globe: Entire Globe: Spoiler:

Western Hemisphere: Spoiler:

Here is a close up of Central Caledonia. The Valelands is where I'm placing the default setting from the DMG: Spoiler:

And here is a re-do of the Nentir Vale: Spoiler:

All these maps were done with Campaign Cartographer (CC3). We're running through adventures H1 and H2 while I get the hang of homebrewing the new system.

I really like that map, Jayne_Cobb. Do you mind if I steal it? This is an old 3E map of mine. It's pretty rough, but I'm still very fond of it. Spoiler:

I don't have much of my 4E world mapped out yet (just the area around the starting city), I'll post it when it's a little farther along.
