Other Planetary Maps?

Postby Chimpman » Fri Apr 03, 2009 5:53 pm

I've been wondering, are there any sources out there that detail maps on planetary bodies other than Mystara (hmmm... or for that matter, other planes known to Mystarans)? There are two maps floating around for Patera, which I am assuming are both fan based maps, but are there any official ones out there (for example in VotPA)?

I myself have been considering mapping some nearby planets (Matera is first on my list - I'd love to get some HM maps going), and with the work going on for the Mystara Space Project over in the Spelljammer forums there may be more planets to add to that list as time goes by.

Anyway, here is the current list of extra-planetary maps that I could find over at the vaults:

Mysohima, by Giampaolo Agosta
Patera, by Giovanni Paniccia

Do folks know of any others, canon or fanon?

The only canon ones I can think of are the maps of Old Alphatia from M1 and the maps of the realm of technology from IM1. Also, there are several official maps of Aelos. VotPA has nothing like this AFAIK.

For the other planets, I was thinking we could use maps of RW mars and Venus as starting points...

I agree. I started a mapping project that I've been wanting to do for a long time now last night, taking a map of a real planetary body as a starting point. I'm really happy with it so far. Once it's a little further along I'll share it here.

Cool,
looking forward to seeing what you come up with! :)

Isn't there a map of the Hollow Moon, too? (fanon, obviously)

Not one that I've seen. Do you have a link?

Hmm, apparently there is none; Sharon said that "the Hollow Moon is a mirror image of" ... "any map of Luna's visible surface that includes the major craters' names".
Note: this dates back more than 10 years (man are we old), so our exchanges were text only; maps à la Thorf were out of the question with then-bandwidth.

:D I now have to revise my previous response - I have seen one map of the Hollow Moon. ;) You guys were on the right track

Sharon's work needed the addition of a map to make it even better. Thanks John!
