Maps

[Trifletraxor]

With the exception of the glorantha map you can download, all the maps in the rqmappack are of quite low resolution and do not look very good when printed out in A4 format.

Is there any possibility to upload some maps of higher resolution for download?

Seconded - good call.

 

[Trifletraxor]

Matthew? Could we have some higher resolution maps in the map pack? The question won't go away by itself! :twisted:

Yes it would be a good idea, especially for the campaign books.

Maps would be nice, yes, BUT i dream of "A Historical Atlas to Glorantha" including maps from all areas, from all time periods in one big tome (in full colour of course).

For such a - let´s say 120 pages, 30 x 40 cm book in full colour - i would pay 200.00 Dollar/100 GBP.

Whoa, let's not get silly. Maps yes, and like Trifletraxor I have made this point before, but £100 is a big lump of cash. For a start lets get the ball rolling from Mongoose by producing the standard Trif mentions, then get ambitious. Is there a copyright problem for Mongoose in the maps, or is it a production problem?

May be Mongoose should take there some advices from the Fan Pro team which released a most excellent Lexikon des Schwarzen Auges which is exactly the kind of book Glorantha would need. Moreover they could also use the map drawer from Fan Pro because even B/W maps are really great.

Any news on this topic?

I'd certainly like to see higher resolution maps available. It's difficult trying to draw one's own maps by tracing over an image where one pixel covers about 15 miles.

Eeeeexactly, your soo right. Thats what a meant under the thread "Whats the eopolitical situation" earlier.

Still working on that map. Im such a lousy illustrator so i bought a fractal map program for this self appointed task.

If Mongoose publishes such a volume...i buy.

Pleeeease make as nice as Gloranta - Second age.

Has anyone answered Trifletraxors call yet?
This map thing ís a though nut. A rights question or a upcoming volume perhaps?

As much as I would love to see a large map, or even more maps, I don't think we will ever see it done from Mongoose.

The Unspoken Word seem to have the monopoly on decent Gloranthan map production at the moment.

A solution I found was to buy the pdf, zoom in on the maps, copy the selection to the clipboard, open it in photoshop, and print it from there. The resolution then is much better than what's found in the map pack.
