Campaign mapping from me to you!

Hello! I've been making world maps for campaigns for several years now, so I figured I'd spread the love a bit and start making them specifically for the Roll20 Marketplace. To that end, I've launched the first entry in a series: Campaign Overworld 1 Purchase it here! The Campaign Overworld line is a series of sets I'm planning to produce aimed at making it easy for GMs to access high quality, customizable maps that require less initial prep time than starting from scratch or assembling parts. This series will focus on an art style characterized by pseudo-realism rather than a more hand-drawn style (for now, at least), and seeks to present fantasy worlds with a breadth of environments for your campaigns. Each set includes hi-res, zoomed in tiles of the map's regions so you can set the scope of your campaign setting as focused or as broad as you like! If you'd like to give feedback… …then here are a few questions I'm looking for responses to for future sets in the series: What would you like to see more of? If you bought this set, what about it appealed to you? Would you be interested in a non-customizable map pack in this style with pre-built landmarks/cities/etc.? What sort of fantasy environments would you like to see represented in the next set? Anything else you'd like to say? Any feedback is better than no feedback!

I haven't grabbed the set yet, these are more thoughts riffing on your included themes... - Sets of "Map Markers" for other things: Cities, Fortifications, Ruins, Crypts, Mines, etc so a GM could allocate things to other spots on the map, or drop in locations. - Are you intending to publish 'mini-kingdoms' to go with the maps (regional fluff, names of places, nobles/leaders of the lands, etc)?

This was something I toyed with during the sketching phase. Ultimately, I decided to go more abstract for this set (I'll probably do the same for the first of another series I'm considering, that way there's equivalency between the two styles) so that the markers could be a bit more flexible, but it's definitely something I'm considering for the future. - Are you intending to publish 'mini-kingdoms' to go with the maps (regional fluff, names of places, nobles/leaders of the lands, etc)? This is sort of what I was getting at when asking about non-customizable maps, but I like the idea of including what are essentially handout images for the GM to use as reference. This is a good idea; thank you!

Beautiful tones and a great style, Dylan! Also like the pin marker you made for these!

Dylan, your map is a standout! I'm impressed with your color palette and execution. A welcome addition to the Marketplace for sure.

I think it's terrific, Dylan. The Marketplace and Roll20 games should benefit a lot from more additions in the category of regional maps, world maps, continent maps. The flexibility to create-your-own-world is supported by unlabeled, unadorned satellite-style maps. To give a better review will take time for me, as my main game already has a world map that I made, and zooms on the continents, states and regions. I plan to start up a new game with overland travel component soon, and I'll probably try your maps and provide a hands-on review then. Didn't want to wait too long without commenting. For now I can say I'm intrigued, and I like the map scale that is offered here. My suggestion or request, just a hunch, it would be cool if one (or more) of your sub-regions is enhanced by even closer-zooms, getting to a map of a coastline, state, province, lake area, or county.  Zoomed Out, Zoom in a bit, Zoomed in even more.
