General Discussion

A place to discuss anything that doesn't quite fit in other places, including general role-playing (in theory and practice).

Map production and fonts

I just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoy your maps at all levels. I was wondering if any of you could give any insight as to the process involved in the production of the maps (programs used, amount of time spent on them, fonts used, etc.) The regional maps atlas maps, and Venarive map are amazing.

Thank you

Hardcopies of Venârivè

Hi everyone,

I would love to have a printed copy of Venârivè, in color. However, the best price I could find in local shops was 70 cents per page, which would bring us to a $175 book. That is too much.

I wonder if there is a printing service somewhere of reasonable quality that could offer much better prices if we placed a big order, say of 100 copies of Venârivè. The problem is:

1. Does anyone know such a service? What is their return policy?

2. How many people would be willing to pay for the hardcopies, and how much?

3. How would we deal with shipping/distribution?

Anyway, it would be interesting to know at least the answer for the second item. Even if you don't know how much you would pay, reply to this thread if you are interested! If enough people show interest, I could gather the "bids" later somehow.

For the Kelestia folks, my question is, do you guys recommend any company? Do you know anyone?

Interaction between Elves of Shava and the Hwaetharwyn

In the minds of the creators of Venarive - is there any interaction between these elivish cousins? If not, why not.

For my own campaign I was thinking of making them known to each other but only seeing each other via embassies every few centuries or so. Family reunions take on a different meaning when you live forever.

Poetic Maps?

Thanks to everyone who answered my previous thread, it did help understand the situation with the publishers and so forth (I guess I'll just have to get HMG and decide which one, or which pieces of that and HM3 I prefer).

The new question is, does anyone have any links or suggestions on where to get poetic maps? It would be great to actually be able to hand out stuff like that, but all of the products (and downloads at lythia.com) seem to be accurate maps more for GM use, and not what the characters in a campaign would be seeing (barring perhaps a skilled pilot's navigational charts or equivalent).

I'd be most interested in poetic maps of Harn (whole), sub-areas like the three western states, the eastern Harnic kingdoms, Melderyn, the east-west caravan route on Harn, and some Venarivan (Venariveish? Venarivean?) areas such as Harbaal, Chelemby & surrounding isles, etc.

I'm really not good at drawing myself ;)
