Looks really good to me: Gloomy as it should be!

Unfortunately, the Lake Gloomy map from the d20 Temple of the Frog sourcebook doesn't match at all the written description of the city.

From what I remember from the d20 setting:

- Lake Gloomy's walls are wooden palisade
- a part of the city is built over water
- Lake Gloomy is the capitol of the Barony of the Lakes
- People can see the brass door from the War Road.

I think the description of Lake Gloomy is more colorful than the dull map in the sourcebook which could feature any generic pseudo-medieval town.

I'd try to make a map which truly show Lake Gloomy's character.

I am going to use that map in a game fairly soon. Can you perhaps post a bigger version of it, brother? :)

I'd just like to hop in to say that I like the maps. As far as trying to match image from one module with text from another, that's always tricky and I suppose it comes down to Dave's level of contribution for each product in order to determine which source trumps which other source.

In my opinion, if at all possible, it would be nice to stick to the earlier source (DA module) as the primary inspiration but try to clean up inconsistencies with the d20 product as best as possible. For example, it would be possible to exchange stone walls for wooden palisades without changing the shape of the town.

Great maps, though, and I'd like to "second" the motion that they be posted larger if possible. 8)

I think that map fits pretty well with the FFC/COTT stuff. There is little detail to be found there, but what I noticed is that the town is built on an island in a "featureless" swamp. There is a "muddy road" leading south. In CoTT we are told that there is a cannon protecting the west gate - so presumably the main gate. Svensons character was killed protecting the "Southwest portion" of the town and I thought somewhere it was said he was defending a gate, but I haven't found that reference.

I'm guessing the DA map is based on something Dave drew and that is why it is numbered.
