    Hey again Ernie,

    I had a couple more comments/requests on your DL1 conversion wilderness map - but was already feeling sheepish about spamming the comments section on DMsGuild.

    Also - please don't take this nitpicking in a negative way. These conversion guides are an incredibly helpful resource - a big improvement on the original maps!

    - The river running southeast toward New Ports reaches all the way to the coast on the original DL1 hexmap, but peters out several hexes west of there in the conversion guide version.
    - In the original, black triangles denoted the presence of several higher peaks; I can't spot any indication of these in the conversion guide.

    Thanks again!
    Aemon

      Hello Aemon, Assuming this is Cliff from over on DriveThroughRPG, I'd love to get in touch via e-mail to hear about how DL2 goes for you. It was interesting to convert, and I would be happy to share why if we can get in touch. My e-mail is ernie.noa@gmail.com If I hear from you that way, I will take down this reply to hide my e-mail address.
      Thanks,
      Ernie

    Hey there Aemon,

    Sorry for the delayed reply, I either did not get a notification about your post or I overlooked it. I will take a look at this and release an updated copy of the map ASAP. My apologies again for taking so long to reply. I appreciate your comments and feedback.

    Take care and happy gaming.

    Ernie

    Hello Again,

    Looks like you and I corresponded on DMsGuild a few days before you posted here. Did I make the corrections you were looking for on the wilderness map? Were you looking to see an indication of the taller peaks on the wilderness map? I think these are shown in the black and white version in the original module but not in the color version. Let me know.

    Thanks and happy gaming.

    Ernie

Some screenshots from todays work on Hythum. I've been putting this area together all week and it's nearly done. If I have been producing like this during my entire recovery I'd be sitting pretty. Oh well. I don't like some of the weeds in the middle of the road and need to clean them up but overall I am quite happy with what I have.

Hang it up?

Ever want to hang it up? I'm modding now and am likely to continue for an hour or so but in the same breath part of me wants to hang it up. Just a little burn out. It will pass. This is a good activity for me while my foot is healing. :-)
