I'm a bit confused. I did the map at the size that I did in order to get all of the Blue Mountains in, without getting into the Shire. And, yes, I don't want my work to be completely wasted, though I suppose only time will tell on that regard.Otaku-sempai wrote:Yeah, if you want to limit the size of your maps to about 300 miles across (or so) then a map of Forlindon, if it extended to the west as far as the island of Tol Fuin, would only include the edge of the Northern Ered Luin. So more comprehensive coverage of the northern range of the Blue Mountains would have to be on a separate map covering the regions surrounding the River Lune. Even leaving out Tol Fuin doesn't allow you to cover all of Forlindon and also include all of the River Lune (much less the lands to the east of it).
The problem with Forlindon is that there just isn't much of interest there once you leave the proximity of the Blue Mountains. There's not much adventure to be found by accompanying Elves floating timber down the river to Forlond. And the sites of Dolmed and Rerir can be covered without giving any attention to the rest of Northern Lindon. I think that, if I were you, I would ignore the region unless could find a really compelling reason to make a separate map for it (or unless I wanted to to a larger, comprehensive map for all of Western Eriador and Lindon; but it seems as though you would prefer to leave that for the game designers at C7).
Your size limits do seem to provide plenty of room to cover Southern Ered Luin and Harlindon as a single map.
I thought the map that I was working on (which the post above is just a small clipping of) was helpful to you, is that not the case?
) done.
I used your red, black and white map of the upper vales of Anduin last night. I printed it out tore up the sides, soaked it juice and put it on the grill. Looked pretty old fashioned and was quite crispy. One character bought it in game from a trader for one treasure. They players where amazed and asked to be able to buy more maps in the future.
