That's what Black Canary is for.

I will be looking forward to that. Tell Canary I said "holla".

I am still active on this map. It's just a pain to get the right inspiration to bring that mountain "into" it, maintain the swamp, and have the right feel overall without making it way too big.

BUT

I have been looking at fan-made maps of the Land of the Lost and really coming up with some ideas...they should gel later tonight into something pleasing to the eye.

I hope.

Meanwhile, my next project will be something that all will fear!

Are you still working on this?

[Taeblewalker]

Never fear. I was preoccupied with a broken hand (don't ever fight the refrigerator and expect to win), but I will be working on it soon. Typing on this site has been painful to the digits as it is, and I lacked the dexterity to manipulate the VS program properly. That, and the end of school is keeping me busy.

But I will do it very soon.

Maybe you should have cooled off first?

I missed this joke at the time you posted it. Funny!

Here is the latest image, though I have yet to make the rest of the map on the other side of the river. There will be some dry land, with a big rift and a bridge over it. There will be a lost city on the other side.

What do you all think so far? Is it heading in the right direction?

Here is a pic, and I've updated the link on the first post.

Looking good!

Thanks! In case it wasn't obvious, the shadow tiles are tar, the water in volcano shows that it's not actively erupting near the top, but that lava is oozing out the sides - I'm thinking that tar can take 2 move to enter, like slippery ice, and can also cause an unblockable skull at the end of the round for sinking damage, like lava field. Perhaps the water tile in the crater can be boiling water and cause an unblockable skull when one enters it, but a permanent glyph can go there.

As for the other side of the mountain where the map isn't built yet, it can either be as is or I can move the 4-hex glacier to make a waterfall coming down that side.

I need to head up to Kathy's now, so I won't be able to work on it tonight.

YES YES YES YES!!!!! This is definitely the right direction. Excellent work. This is a big playground of a map that the battle can find its way moving all over. This is great great work.

I agree it's looking good.

I'm really liking the look of this

[Taeblewalker]

Here's the latest. I'm wondering if the lost city is laid out well, but it's the idea I'm going for at least.

I also updated the first post with the VS file.
