[FILE] JRRT Style MECCG Map

I made this MECCG map based on Chris Taylor's digital rendition of JRRT's hand drawn map in Lord of the Rings. It is black and white and includes region name and region types along with a lookup key (same as on the maps in the rulesbooks). I can make larger print sizes if needed.

That's beautiful, thank you for sharing!
As a minor side comment: Could you replace the "*" icon for Dark Havens by either [-me_dh-] (then it's a hero-version map) oder by [-me_dha-] (then the symbol is closer to the original dark-haven symbol)?

ah, so you noticed! The haven was the worst to draw! I could change it to the dark hold symbol I have, but these forum symbols here are no good due to the resolution (16x16), and this is a vector image.
The issue is that these symbols on the map are actually custom font characters hand drawn by me using a 50x50 pixel grid. The symbols weren't originally intended to be used this large. But they are mostly fine. Especially for my print size.
I could scan a card and create a vector sketch of the symbols instead of using the custom font. Hmm... I may get to that eventually. But if you just want dark holds than I could do that easily.

Cheers!
As I more often play the hero variant of the game, any version with Dark Holds for the Dark Havens would be great. Thank you!

I made these icons a while ago for my remaster project, as close as possible from the original ones. No vector images here but they are really huge, and any downsize with a bilinear filter in Photoshop produces gorgeous soft icons.
Enjoy!
