Hello-

IN my somewhat recent pillaging of the OWTC site for downloadable realmslore - I did stumble across an article where they talked about the process used t o make the maps. I skimed it - and it seemed quite involved - something that would not really be possible for a home-game. Sorry that I don't have a link for you thoogh. :(

Yeah, all mine are by hand right now. I just think the FR maps look so well done its gotta be graphic.

You know odds are good that they use a few different programs and indeed might use odd fashion tools like drafting paper. I know that when I drew a few maps for the net I started with paper, then used a few different computer programs to have the map finished.

So ok Arivia. :) Where do I find them? I am too lazy too look!

Hey Kianna, if you are successful, tell me about it. I think that would help me out with the Triange of Three a great deal also

You know I emailed WOTC and they would not say anything. I wonder if these guys would. I just want to make maps for my games....not steal an empire! :)

I believe you'd have to ask Robert Lazzaretti and Dennis Kauth, who are the listed 3e Realms cartographers.
