I wonder if the two of you could check the "continuity 3" file I've uploaded.

I've upped the scale to 20/24 miles per hex (your choice)

It's quite simple - grey is 1977 Blackmoor, red is Havard's map.

The black rectangles are the size of a Wilderlands map.

I suggest that either Havard or Raphael fills in the spaces round Havard's map to take it to the black lines.

It hopefully also will give you an idea of how to match up to Thonia in the south.

The yellow, blue and green are the possible locations for the Valley of the Ancients Wilderlands map, which I have posted a preview of .

If the two of you can confer and tell me which location you'd like to use, or how many rectangles west you'd like it moved, then I can make sure I'm not encroaching on plans for the campaign map.

Does that make sense?

Oh good grief!

What is the POINT of producing maps that fit together IF THE TERRAIN FEATURES DON'T MATCH!

I've just looked at linking maps 1, 2 and 3 of the WL - the coastlines match pretty accurately, but why do the forests not match? Why does map 2 start a road - that doesn't appear on map 3?

I haven't even looked at north-south linkup yet, only east-west.

What is the point of a coherent campaign spanning 18 maps - if you can't put the maps side by side, or even slightly overlap?

Has no one ever noticed this before?
This problem would have be SO easy to avoid.

Aargghh!

There, I feel better now. :)

Edit: You can see the sort of thing I'm talking about , where someone has had the maps printed onto card and laid them out.

Second photo, 3rd sheet down on the left - look at how it matches with the sheet above it - the river matches, but the forests don't.

Then look at the sheet next to it, it doesn't match with either the sheet above or the sheet to the right - the coastline mostly matches, but the forests and even the river don't. Sloppy.

As the author of the script that Dave L has been using I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of the impressed. That's top-notch work, Dave, and so's your Wilderlands stuff -- my hat would be off to you if I had one :)
