I had an idea for some simple png's that GM's could use to make campaign maps. Would that be useful to folks? -- if anyone would like to play&nbsp;around&nbsp;with some sample pieces I made tonight - you can download a zip file here.&nbsp; <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bw2woO-SuqSULUc1d1NvNE14NUk/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bw2woO-SuqSULUc1d1NvNE14NUk/edit?usp=sharing</a> give them a try and let me know if this idea is worth developing.

Great idea, I've tried to find symbols like these for a while for old-school overland maps! Thanks,&nbsp;Cheyenne
Those are really cool! &nbsp;I'll have to try them out. &nbsp;Thank you!
Very cool. &nbsp;
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Very cool and ideal for the 'big picture'. Thanks for sharing. These are especially nice as they are genre agnostic, so will work for any game I want to host. Some more colour variations with the woods would be nice, but no doubt you are thinking the same thing.

Excellent. I'll start cooking up a full list of map elements. Let's see, Some more mountains, and trees with more variation (color and type). Hills - marshes - deserts - water (coastlines and rivers will be tough to work right)&nbsp; City - town - tower type markers, along with more generic location markers. (squares, circles, circles with stars?)&nbsp; What else?&nbsp;
Excellent idea.&nbsp; Thanks for doing this. :-) Some further suggestions: cave entances, ruins, volcano ?
Some houses and buildings, typical late 19th, early 20th century stuff would be cool.
Some generic tokens representing types of sites would be useful: Ex. battlefield, ruins, capital city, large city, small town, castle, that sort of thing.

look into autorealm for possible examples if you get stuck on something. It has stuff similar to what is being shown.
