This is a hell of a piece of Earth, let me tell you.
One hex = 20 miles.
The designed portion of my world stops about 40 miles south of the map...I haven't designed Italy yet and haven't much interest in doing so any time soon, so please try to keep north of the Alps for the time being. At the moment, I haven't designed the trade roadways west of Augsburg, but it doesn't matter; assume that there is a road between every hex in this part of the world. Most roads will be overgrown and paved, upwards of six hundred years old.
For those interested, Prague is about 20 miles north of Freiberg in Bohmen, at the top center of the map.
From a cartography geek standpoint, I highly recommend cartographersguild.com - the forums alone are one of the best resources for mapping that I've found. This map completely rocks my socks!
ReplyDeleteSo, slightly off topic, but are we all agreed that we must make a second email and profile with which to post? Is this what you expect of us?
ReplyDeleteI rolled my scores tonight, though I have not yet assigned them. Do you want me to post them or email them to you?

Just rolled my scores...I think Anshelm will be a mage/thief or fighter/thief, but that can be adjusted depending on what else we have. My streak of middling rolls continues...
ReplyDeleteWhat are you guys making?
I haven't rolled yet. I will later tonight, when I have access to my dice.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of making either a fighter or a mage. Or a fighter/mage. Depending on what I roll.
Delfig's Dice rolls and some character fleshout with MOB and the 3 Things (from Burning Wheel).
ReplyDeleteFunny, my captcha word is "shire".
Ryan,
ReplyDeleteYes, I’m going to need a blogspot profile, with picture of upper torso/head with recognizable facial features for everyone. I’ll add additional requirements this morning in a new post.
Delfig,
Get out some actual dice and re-roll those scores. We’re not going to use any online die-rolling systems for characters. Don’t worry, I trust you.
Anshelm,
A bard/thief, a mage/thief…you guys don’t get to steal much, do you?
Ha! Hmmm...I may have to rethink my character class....
ReplyDeleteI will post up my guy during lunch. Have a meeting in a few minutes.
Okie, dokie... I'll have stats rerolled later tonight/tomorrow then. My dice are at home.
ReplyDeleteRe: all the thieves. It's a hard life, the 1600s. Guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do...
