Roads...a Horse for a Road...

Or was it a Kingdom for a Horse...anyway...

Please find HERE my first version of Roads in Ustalav.

The roads are not abitary but based on material from:

• Haunting of Harrowstone
  
• Trial of the Beast
  
• Broken Moon
  
• Inner Sea World Guide
  
• Rule of Fear
  

I still have to work in some more of Rule of Fear and I also plan a map that shows Resources (as mentioned in the Material availible) and Main Trading routes that makes sence of these Resources. E.g. Canterwall is the breadbasked of Ustalav (Inner Sea World Guide), Lozeri produced Wood (Broken Moon), lots of trade in Caliphas (Inner Sea), Bastoi has Salt mines, over the south west border Lastwall produced good horses..and so on

Thanks...but that dosnt help me. Clear Question Clear Answere: Is the map like that OK? If not what mods do you require.

I like the map. Now west of Ravengro there appears to be six unnamed towns. Where are they from? What resource?

These are not Towns but Fortifications (source: Trial of th BEast, Rule of Fear)

- Without the backdrop of the orginal map a ROAD map dosnt make any sence.
- The map could be considered published as it appreas as part of the Inner Sea Maps Resource

If I'm not mistaken this map is from the Inner Sea Map Folio, right? In that case it is not permitted to republish the map for public use. You will have to redraw the map yourself using tools like Campaign Cartographer or something like that.

Hint. They are unlikely to say yes or no. If you think about it rationally for a moment from their perspective you will understand why.

My advise if you don't want to create your own map underneath, is to create the roads on a separate layer above the map.
When you're done, hide the background map layer and save the only road layer as a PNG to preserve the transparency.

Then you can share your road map ;) so others can use it on top of their own, without breaching any policies.

Yeah..as far as I understand you US guys, you sue for spilled coffee... ;)

Anyways...thanks mate

Great! I'll definitely use that so I don't have to repeat it when I eventually run CC. Thanks!

Windspirit, thanks for the info on the forts. Too bad you had to take it down. I like your map better then the one in Rule of Fear and was going to use for my game. I should of saved the image last night. argh!

You can find the original map in the Inner Sea Map Folio (PDF) from the Paizo store. Also just the Ustalav section can be extracted (e.g. with SomePDF) without labels in high quality from the Rule of Fear book.

Just scroll up a bit...i changed it a bit...see links.

Windspirit, I'd be careful of this bit too.

• You may descriptively reference trademarks, proper names (characters, deities, artifacts, places, etc.), locations and characters from products listed in Section 1 of our Community Use Approved Product List at paizo.com/communityuse/products, provided it is clear that these are our marks.

Those town names, I believe, are trademarked. I think all you would need to do though is drop some text on there identifying Paizo as the owner of the trademarks.

Those names come from the Rule of Fear and the AP (at least). Both of those are under "section 1". So I think it's up to your good faith to make it "clear that there are [their] marks".

Just trying to help.

Copyright is not trademark. Trademark is not copyright.

Pepsi is trademarked. Pathfinder is trademarked (according to the little thingy at the bottom of the screen). Place names in a gaming product are not trademarked.

If I want to sell a game based on D&D called Pathfinder I am going to have a problem. If I want to write a novel and include a nation called Ustalav and a town called Ravengro I do not (unless maybe I write a gothic horror story with the plot about a group meeting at a funeral of a dead professor and going to investigate a jail but I think you get the point).

Thanks very much, Windspirit. Very much appreciated.

Now that would be silly. I understadn that its needed to prtect ones IP. But THAT would be going WAY to far.

The names are not trademarked, but they are proper names "(characters, deities, artifacts, places, etc.)" and thus the policy requires you to add the text to publicly shared material. If you just share within your group it's a different matter.

It doesn't take much effort IMO to include the short CUP text necessary. (See my map thread in the Kingmaker forum for examples).
