Sketch map, beginning of a setting


Homebrew and House Rules


I've posted about this on Dragonsfoot, but I thought it might be a good idea to get opinions from PF fans, too (not that there aren't any over there). It's the beginning of a homebrew I'm cooking up before classes begin anew for me. I think I'll run it with B/X or maybe AD&D 2E, but it will definitely use some PF elements, probably including monsters. I'll definitely be adapting parts of Kingmaker, but not the whole AP.

Here's the rough continental/coastlines map:

I drew it freehand. Afterward, I adjusted the coastlines a bit so it didn't look too regular or just sized to fit the map. Roughed up the coastlines, and added a few islands.
It should be read with the open ocean to the right, or East. The continent ‘faces’ east.

Looking at it, I have some half-formed ideas about where the plate boundaries might be. Next up will be mountain chains. That central sea probably flooded as the northern and southern portions of the continent began to pull apart. The landmass in the west is probably pushing into the central/eastern mass, and I expect I'll place high mountains at the 'seam.'

Now, I'm not concerned with getting all the geographical details exactly right. It doesn’t need to be perfect, just plausible and reasonably self-consistent. There will be some fantastic geography in the mix.

I have lots of ideas for kingdoms and cities, as well as some bits of published settings that I plan to swipe/assimiliate into this one. It's not intended for publication, so I'm not going to be shy about borrowing things.

I've run off a few copies of the rough map, which I will make into physical, climate, political, even historical maps. Again, all at a sketchy , low res level. I want to build a good framework.

Feedback so far? Any comments on the map?
