Description
Overland map of Numeria with a hex grid. The Numeria book's not out 'til June, so these are all the spots on the map from the Inner Sea World Guide. I'll be adding the others as soon as the book is out.EDIT: Found a copy of the updated map wasting away in my Google Drive. Enjoy!

Hey, that's a great map!
Sadly, the HD version of it seems unavailable. Any chance you might reupload it?

If I ever get the old master file back, I will certainly do so!

That's pretty awesome!
God knows, I'm really pumped for this adventure!

To borrow a phrase from the Paizo boards: "Dotted."

Any chance of us getting a similar map for all of the River Kingdoms and Brevoy? That would take care of all of the major adjacent kingdoms to expand out into, at least until we get more on Iobaria.

I could technically do River Kingdoms, Brevoy, and Iobaria, since we have an Iobaria map from Kingmaker. It'd be a massive project to combine all those disparate maps into one omni-map, but hypothetically feasible.
Consider it a project I'm interested in, but currently withholding on because of sheer time investment.

Numeria as a hex grid, using ultimate campaigns exploration rules I take it?
You may have just expanded my options for post-Kingmaker material

I actually hadn't thought about a Kingmaker tie-in, despite actually having a Kingmaker game on long hiatus. My group was eyeing a lot of the areas in the River Kingdoms first (Pitax, obviously, but we had an Aldori swordmaster who basically took over Mivon in a long chain of duels), then moving east to Iobaria.
But by all means, use it for your game as well. The hexes are conveniently the same scale (1 hex = 12 square miles), and my master file is to-scale with 1-inch grids, making it a huge, 41-inch wide map.
Now that I think about it, taking over Numeria with the kids of the Kingmaker rulers could be pretty fitting.

Totally agree, my main player is already statting up a daughter lol

NICE. I'd do it in my game, but there's not enough crossover between the two groups for it to make sense.

I planned on using one of the suggested 'after kingmaker' articles, after the events of book 5, there was essentially nothing stopping Numerians from invading, giving the group motive to go there?

Yeah, they even give you Numerian barbarian army stats. Angry Tiger Lord barbarians are an obvious choice, looking for revenge/reclaiming Ovinrbaane, but a more unified front of barbarians pushing into new turf because of a bigger, Technic League threat on their ass could also work.

Let's not forget those mecha scorpions, those are cr 16 iirc

CR 16 is correct. From what I understand, though, the Technic League hasn't figured out how to control those.
Yet.

Any dirt on the program and techniques used for the map, WDT?

Certainly! I useΒ Photoshop CS4. I've got a bunch of Photoshop tileable textures from a now-defunct free Photoshop texture site, which I use with the pattern stamp tool with the aligned box unchecked. For a lot of the background, I use a standard Photoshop circular brush with the hardness set to 0%, then adjust colors of the patterns with the Hue/Saturation settings.
The bushes and trees and mountains are a stone pattern stamp done with brushes from a DaviantART user's brush collection: danhowardart.deviantart.com/arβ¦
I'm still fiddling with how I do rivers and water. It'll prolly be easier when I get my tablet plugged back in.
Oh, yeah. I did this with my laptop touchpad for some reason. Don't ask me why.

I love maps. The hex grid is a great touch, very old school. Well done, good sir

I.Β LOVE. Hex grids. They're great as a super-quick way to deduce distance from Point A to Point B.

Damn straight! That's why I always loved the old classic AD&D maps, particularily the World of Greyhawk. Just count and go

I used to think they were totally weird until I started doing games with more overland travel (if your campaign is only set in one city or a small region, or, like when I was starting out at 10 you just hand-waved distances, it's not a big deal). By then, hex maps had gone out of fashion, so when, years later, Kingmaker came out, I fent flippy-nutzo for hexes.
I also like 'em for combat maps (that is entirely the fault of Fallout and Fallout 2), but I'm far too lazy to do my maps that way in most games, and I have no idea where my old, beat-up rubber wet-erase maps ran off to after all these years.

Very cool map. I wish I had cartography skills like this.

It's not as hard as it looks. I give some of my tools and tricks in a response below.

I read it, and thanks, but given my near-total lack of artistic ability it'd probably still beyond me.

It sounds way tougher than it is. And you do have art talent if your dA account has anything to say about it.

The written stuff is all mine, but the illustrations are all either commissions or gifts. But thank you.
