This one is a basic map of the Known World and the first my players received. It is a traders map so it doesn't show borders. As was told them in-game, "borders have a tendency to change from time to time; mountains, rivers, and cities not so much".
This is the other one I did while they spent a winter in Vestland. Naturally I had to do one for the region as well, especially since two of the PCs are Vestlanders. You'll note that the map does not have North as pointing away from you. I though it would make sense to use the coastline as natural line across the page, then they were told in-game that the "eyes of the warrior face ever North", in reference to the helmet on the map. Oh, and the two pictures on the map were NOT drawn by me (I'm not that good!).
If you add ".th" to the filename, it'll automatically make a thumbnail, like this:
Code:
(Replace < and > with [ and ], obviously.)
Btw, I have been meaning to ask and now this seems like the appropriate thread: is there no way to attach a .jpg file from one's own computer? All I have ever been able to attach was pictures with an http address?
Is it impossible to attach an image like an attachment to an email?

Yay, credit! Let me go for some more:

Thanks, Joe! As you can probably tell, I'm no expert at these things, so advice like this goes a long way.

AFAIK, it is impossible.
This might be a good place to share some of my maps, some of which are also available on the Vaults.
As a test, here is a hex map I drew several years ago (1998..seven years already?!?) of the core regions of Heldann. I based it off of the Trail Maps, module X13, and WotI:

Now you're missing the link to the large sized map. You've got
In the future, when you upload the file to ImageShack you'll get a page with a bunch of links to cut-and-paste into the message board post, and you just have to paste the one with the thumbnail instead of the main one, and it'll do the work for you.

That's what ImageShack is for: it'll give you a page with a text box and a "Browse" button, and you pick a local image, it'll upload it to their server and then give you a URL you can paste into the forums here. I have no idea how they pay for all the bandwidth costs without going bankrupt.
!I really didn't understand what that all meant, but I got it now. I'm so novice at some of this stuff that when you said "(Replace < and > with [ and ], obviously.)", I went

Of course it is! That map Heldann has been copied on my hard drive ever since I first found the Vaults. Unfortunately, I haven't had a campaign venture very far past the borders. Btw, it's nice to see some descent-sized lakes on some maps; I think lakes are far too few/small in the Known World.
And thanks for kind words everybody. The style is obviously based on the maps that appear in the Lord of the Ring movies. My players really liked and want to get more; I think one of the Grand Duchy will be next since that is the home of several PCs and they are heading there (more or less
