I just needed to vent really quick about the fact that the maps of the CRM change scale from the previous maps. I've been working diligently since 3ebb gave me the idea of making tiles, and after nearly two hours of work I had the FIRST PART of the CRM started when I realized I was doing it AT 1/2 SCALE!!! ARRRRRRGH!!! The things we do for our players . . . That being duly vented, the idea of tiles for this rocks. It also comes close to becoming a far too obsessive project. I didn't realize just how huge the CRM is until I started this. There's no business like gnoll business Cordo Crowfoot Here for a while (3/7/03 3:36 am) Reply Re: Frustration with the CRM Map . . . He heh. Actually being a bit of a perfectionist sometimes the thing that bugs me is the shadows on the wall... making them really thick and hard to tell exactly how big some of the rooms and passages are. This is exacerbated by the irregular shape of most of the walls and areas. It was definitely a decision to value art/appearance over functionality, but hey, people would probably complain if they were plain black and white maps. I just tell myself it doesn't matter and just give my best guestimate, but my players caught me in an inaccuracy last session. "They were immediately and absolutely recognizable as adventurers. They were hardy and dangerous, lawless, stripped of allegiance or morality, living off their wits, stealing and killing, hiring themselves out to whoever and whatever came... They were scum who died violent deaths, hanging on to a certain cachet among the impressionable through their undeniable bravery and their occasionally impressive exploits" China Mieville, Perdido Street Station
