Maps

[Obnoxious Hydra]

I used to draw my maps on Paint until very recently, when I discovered that Photoshop is a far nicer tool to use. Layers are extemely handy, because it lets you easily hide things like mountains, rivers, etc. in order to draw things more easily. Plus, it's really easy to make a nice parchment texture on Photoshop to make your map seem aged.

Here's the country map I've created for a PbP game I'm running on another site (I've also made a world map which shows continents, but it's far less impressive).

I've never tried making a city map or a dungeon map in this style though.. don't know how easy it would be.
