I believe he said something like, when you ask for permission, and don't receive a response, you can go ahead with the map, as long as you use all original artwork.

Human Body?

Post by PMega »

Would this be even plausible? It would certainly be very interesting if it actually worked.

If someone would be willing to take a shot at making the graphics, I'd be willing to help design it.

I'm assuming no specific reference maps are needed :lol:

New Map, Unnamed... Interest? (HAND DRAWN FIRST DRAFT)

Post by JakeP »

This is the hand drawn first draft of an original map I made in Social Studies, I was wondering if anybody liked it, what I should do to it, and stuff like that. None of the places are named, so I need names too...

Draft 1 (6/2/07):

I am working on another rough copy in MSPaint before I go onto other programs...

Well, like I said, I did that in Social Studies, I was just seeing if people had any interest in that map.

Wait, and yet nobody has acted on it... Am I missing something, or was it just shot down 99999.... times?

What reasons did people have that the idea was undoable?

...I'm wondering.. Why did you have crayons in social studies?
But I have a feeling there wont be much appeal, seeing as its just a made up map.. Not based on anything.

If you know what im talking about give feedback

the white tower could be the pinnacle, and the towns could be countries of themselves, and it would look roughly like this -

That is, in my mind, the most pressing issue.

Yeah, you should give your map a concept, it'll make it look more attractive. So far it's just a doodle.

:roll: You dont have to give it suggestive genitals. In fact if it's an internal thing (organs, etc) it doesn't need genitals at all.

the new essential chronology

Post by Jack0827 »

If I were you I would try to find a copy of this book by del rey. in the back there is a fairly good map of the galaxy with some 160 systems/planets. the book also kind of pulls together the story from all of the books, games, and films. I would at least try to find one at a library for the chart/map. good luck
