Making your own TOR-map [PIC HEAVY]

[zekrish]

And for the lazy one or poor DM scarce on time, could you post your creation for we can use it? It could be a nice thing to hand to players.

I feel honored that you would like to use my map but since all the names are in Swedish i'm afraid you would have little use of it.

I have a homemade one which is very similar and in English which I'll look at scanning and removing all the bits we've filled in during our journey through Wilderland. Will take me a while to dig it out though as it's still in a box somewhere. Side effects of the house move earlier in the year!

A excellent idea! Just pm me of you need help!

Yes, thank you for posting; this is great work--well in line with the high-quality materials that other folks on this forum have produced.

It is great to have the basic process of map making. This way we can blow up the original map and draw our own versions for smaller locales. I personally like to give players multiple, small maps with minor inaccuracies sometimes or different scales.

Speaking of maps, I strongly encourage people to look up/acquire Karen Wynn Fonstad's Atlas of Middle-Earth. It is a fantastic resource for loremasters.

Completely agree with you about the Atlas. I just got mine out last night and read over the single page on Wilderland. It was quite fascinating, mostly being about the glacialization of the area. Part of why I got it out was I was comparing where she put Rivendell compared to the TOR map in the back of 'Tales'. The one in ToW seems to be much further away from the mountains. But like you say, probably many maps have bits of inconsistencies (it's not like they had GPS and the like back then).

Im in the same group and i play a Beorning in the Darkening of Mirkwood campaign we are playing. Our GM decided to give his character the Distinctive Feature Mapmaking for the creation of it. Just saying its a good idea to use in any campaign when the players start to create, improvise and inspire the rest oft he group as well as the GM. The map is awesome to have and continually improve as we explore Wilderness.

With your name, I figure you're probably great at creating just about anything!

Yes I see that, nevertheless it's a fine job with the "hand made" touch wich give it his value. May be other working with Middle -Earth Name will post their job
