Blackmoor Maps

[Dave L]

I'm not sure if I ever posted in this forum about the Blackmoor maps I created.

They have been on Flickr for years, but now I have uploaded them to Dropbox (follow the link in my signature), I thought it worth mentioning them again.

The maps are replicas, as far as I could achieve, of the 1977 FFC map, and the maps found in DA1, DA3, and DA4.
I then combined the DA3 and 4 maps into one big one, and my final creation was the same map at 5 miles per hex, the same scale as the Wilderlands maps. I then removed all the labels to provide a blank map for players, or for GM's to make their own Map using the Blackmoor terrain.

For comparison, the Blackmoor map is the size of 4 of the Wilderlands maps.

I got a huge enjoyment out of making them, but it would be even more of a buzz knowing they were being used. Enjoy!

I have been referencing your maps for my Burning Wheel Blackmoor campaign. Thanks for posting them again.

Awesome! It's great to know they have been useful.

Just to let people know there is a new file in the Blackmoor Dropbox folder - the Blackmoor Vector 5 mile map, which is the combined DA1, DA3, DA4 map, reproduced in CS Illustrator.

This was pretty much my ultimate Blackmoor map, and now that I have started making Vector maps, it's the one I really wanted to redo. It's the one with the black border, please download (5.59mb) and tell me what you think.

It's also uploaded on flickr, in the Blackmoor folder.



I thought I would also investigate saving it as a pdf, so the quality doesn't degrade at all, but found my forest symbol doesn't save to a pdf file. Sigh, I've fixed it, but will have to replace every instance of it before I can post a pdf of the map. I'm afraid it will be a few days before I have time to do that.

Anyway, I hope you like the png in the meantime.

Woohooo! Nice!

REALLY nice!

Okay, I have replaced the forest symbols and have posted a pdf in the Blackmoor Dropbox folder. For some reason it is 13mb, which is bigger than the Illustrator file!

I have also updated the png - I noticed one of the text labels was duplicated, so I have sorted that out.

If anyone checks out the pdf can you let me know if it views okay please. Thanks.
