Great article. My favorite line is "if your line doesn’t look like it was plotted by a drunken ant, you’re doing it wrong". I would've really benefited from this when I was building a world; alas, there weren't any masters to guide me then.

Nice map and great article.
I'd like to translate some of your articles into french for our community. Do you mind if I do it?

That is a great article, and probably one of the best I've found in terms of an illustrated step-by-step process and what to think about at each step. Thank you!
