[PnP] Big map

[Burton Choinski]

One of my goals/desires has been to redo the map book in some form that would allow for maps of any area, with consistent color and matched rivers/roads.  Doing it on my poor mac in Canvas is a pain.  Plus, I would like the ability to "zoom in" on hexes, with some sort of determanistic fractal ability to produce maps at the hex-per page (20 miles) or greater scale, for detailing cities or adventure spots.

>> Cool.  I have been thinking about redoing mine.  Mainly I want to try and color correct.  That is make all the water be the same shade of blue, the lands the same shade, etc.  I have two great resources at my disposal.  My son-in-law is a graphic artist so he could help with the color matching and I work for a company that can print out the entire map.

Some other photoshop to join it all into a canvas, the end result is a 43x35 inch image at 300ppi.  I took this file to my local office depot and had them print and laminate it.  You see it pinned to the wall prior to a game today.   There are a few glitches in the alignment, mostly on the wastern side, and edge hexes are kind of funky in places since roads or rivers don't always light
