Other World Mapper Forum

There have been no posts on this forum for the last few days. So... where is everyone? I've been uber busy at work. :cry: What other forums do you frequent that are on topic of mapping/RPG/etc.? I've got accounts on quite a lot of forums, but the one I hang out at most is The Piazza . I have a stup...

Anna Meyer just linked to something called Experilous: Procedural Planet Generation over at her Flanaess Geographical Society group. It looks pretty interesting.

It might be nice to have an OWM marketplace where artists could create symbol sets, icons packs and map packs for sale to other users as licensed content. That's been our plan, and we'll talk about it more next year. Like you said, we're concentrating on development of the first release for now :) ...

If you do create it, you might want to move the current 2 Mac threads over there. Good point Stefanstr. I'm not sure that empty forums are useful, at this stage, but when t...

I've seen Spelljammer on the shelves before and I'm not sure why I kept passing it by but it sounds like a lot of fun. I've been a Space Cowboy/Hard Core Sci-Fi fan for longer than I have been a tabletop gamer. I should have jumped on this bandwagon a long time ago. I will be heading out to my LGS ...

Welcome to the OWM forums Troels. I've done LARP in the past too. My last LARP was a science fiction LARP, called Virtual Eclipse . We had our own bespoke universe, based around seven power blocs who each had control of a number of different planets. In real-life, we mostly used scout camps in the S...

The moving gridlines (medians, parallels, latitiudes, longitdues) - and by this I mean curving on the display - would be the best tool. The stretch goal that added additional map projections added elliptical projections (AKA Mollweide projection) that would take care of at least part of what you ar...
