This is GOLD spooky! Thanks for all the work and writing it all out!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it and I hope it helps.

Hey spooky, based on the work you have done, does this map align with the terrain you were working with?

I am wondering, is there a way to print this one out in sections?

You can actually download the image. Once you do that you should be able to crop it in an image editing program and print those sections out.

Oh cool, I gonna check at the copyshop if it makes sense sizewise

I once opened it in Photoshop. It took a while as it has more than a gigabyte size, but it works.

Looks like I need to post a bit more before I can post images of my progress!!! It's going slowly but it is moving forward. I have a screenshot of WIP Middle Mountains that I was going to share, but I'll have to spam some more posts before I can upload to the gallery!!!

You can post at anytime with an external image hosting service, like Ke.gg, TinyPic, UltraIMG, ImgBox, Postimage.

Our server is not unlimited, so except for small stuff it is recommended to use the external service even if you have acquired the rights.

According with these ancient official maps:





I made my personal Heroquest map with the following rules (english from google translator):

Each numbered black dot, marks the location of each quest.

CAMPAIGN MAP
Use the Campaign Map to move the Heroes into the world of Heroquest, spend coins on daily board and lodging, track the time for daily routes and heal wounds by resting in taverns...
Each green, yellow or orange dot represents a place where it is possible to camp (the small white dots indicate the roads and are not considered).
Yellow dots represent small Villages, Green the Cities and Orange the Fortress.
It is possible to buy Equipment and Mercenaries only in the cities.

DAILY ROUTES
Walk: 1 location.
Mule: 2 locations.
Horse: 3 locations.

For example, from Nuln to Altdorf, it takes 3 walking days; 2 days on a mule and 1 day on a horse.

PRICES
1 litre of Ale/Beer/Wine: 1 gold
Daily fodder: 1 gold
Lodging in a Inn : 1 gold
Daily Meal: 3 gold
Mule/Donkey: 100 gold
Horse: 1.000 gold
Horse War: 3.000 gold

SPONTANEOUS HEALING
Every hero who has suffered injuries heals 1PC or 1PM of his choice on a daily basis, but only if he rests comfortably in a home, inn or in any other comfortable and sheltered place (for example, if a hero has lost 5 PCs, he can recover through spells/potions or resting 5 days in an inn).
A hero can rest freely at any location with his own resources, but he inhibits his spontaneous healing.

DAILY MEALS
Anyone who does not consume each day a ration of Daily Meal, loses 1 PC and inhibits his Spontaneous Healing. The cost of each daily meal is 3 gold coins (whether it is a fresh or long-life meal).

NOTE
At the beginning of their first adventure (The Trial), each Hero receives 50 gold coins. Make good use to pay food and housing ...

Learning new tools so it's taking time, but I'm getting there....



And here's some views from down on the ground and some randomly placed trees at the moment...





Like I said, long way to go but it is slowly taking shape.
