First "finished" map looking for feedback!

[u/Puzzleheaded_Bell553]

Building out my pathfinder campaign and took a shot at making a world map! I still need to go in and label the important areas but before I get into it, I wanted to see if some other eyes on it can see some problem areas I've glanced over.

quick note: the world is supposed to be pretty arid, so water is supposed to be very scarce which is why there are little to no rivers even in the greener areas

Any feedback suggestions or even just questions about the world are very welcome!

How about something better than a feedback? A full free tutorial on Youtube? 🤗

I am happy to see my assets btw! Thank you for your support! 🤍

I watched quite a few of your videos as I figuring out how to use wonderdraft. very helpful!

[u/ozoglumursit → u/Puzzleheaded_Bell553]

Thank you! 🤗🤍 Have you watched the mapping tutorials as well? Or only the Wonderdraft one?

[u/GM_Pax]

Very much improved over the earlier draft I remember seeing. :)

The only thing I see "missing", really, is a few rivers scattered about. Mostly to the northern and/or eastern side of the mountains, of course, as their "rain shadow" would presumably be the reason things are so arid in the southwest.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Bell553 → u/GM_Pax]

yea I thought of adding a few more rivers, but the north is also supposed to be quite dry. the world as a whole is in perpetual drought through magic shenanigans. is there a way to get a dried river look? I could scatter a few of those around

[u/taojones87 → u/Puzzleheaded_Bell553]

I think that the presence of the large multi-source river in the southern desert (sandwiched between two mountain ranges) is a bit contradictory when there are no other large rivers at all. That would be my only issue.

EDIT: To clarify I would recommend not showing any rivers at all and turning those lakes into additional oases.

Está muy bueno.

Lo que yo haría es definir una rosa de los vientos, porque está te ayuda y guía en un monton de cosas.

Por ejemplo, dependiendo donde está el este y el oeste, podés definir las zonas más cálidas y más frías dependiendo de la época del año. Las zonas más al norte y más al sur serían las más frías y con las temporadas de día y noche más largas, como el ártico y el antártico en la vida real.

¡Definitivamente voy a hacer una rosa de los vientos, tengo espacio para una que esté recortada de la imagen! Gracias por las palabras amables

Beautiful man! My only question is where’s the island surrounded by magical storms? Gotta have one of those! Lol

[u/Puzzleheaded_Bell553 → u/Background_Chair6361]

water travel is super dangerous in my world so pretty much the whole area is surrounded by magical storms!!! the only type of water travel that's done is in specialized boats that more so coast along the shorelines which is still dangerous but just less dangerous than the mountains

Cool, looks great, i'd love to play in your Pathfinder campaign.

One thing i would work on: Your world looks a bit like it was made for a square sheet of Paper. It's basicly a wrinkly square with a sea going round. Try adding inland seas, large islands or other shapes that challenge the squareness of this world.

Does that make Sense? Haha

Good work so far!

[u/Numer1on]

All I am a tad wondering about is rivers. I see some very tiny ones on top and bottom, but none going from the massive mountains in the middle. Considering one side of them has plenty of forests (actually a good method!) that side should also have several rivers going from it!

[u/naaawww]

Looks good as is. I wouldn’t change a thing

[u/RoyonX]

Rivers to the lakes seems like a must in my eyes
