Work In Progress WIP the Midlands

Post image

I just thought I would share my homebrew map. I've been running tabletop campaigns on this map for more than a decade and have hundreds of pages dedicated to the history and theology of the world. It's constantly growing and evolving. There are more continents now, but this is the main landmass where my campaigns take place. Seemed a shame to only share it with 4 or 5 guys that I DM for, so here it is.
Criticism and advice welcome.

I don't have much to say other than "the midlands" is a really funny name as someone from the UK

Haha, fair enough. it's more of a placeholder name. Generally I refer to it as Bastus in game.

Looks like the peninsula that had Valyria in it

What does that mean?

The map resembles Westeros

Because it's vertically formatted?

Because the god that shaped these continents went to staples first.

Nothing worse than a midwit who thinks he's clever

Whatever. You drew the map according to the paper and not the world. Any noise you make as a result mild criticism is for your own entertainment and clearly you are having a ball.

Graphics on it look ok though.

No. There’s a few geographical places which really stand out. Crackclaw, Shipbreaker Bay, The Westerlands, the Godseye, The Arbor, Skagos, etc etc.

Cool. I just looked at Westeros and it's not similar at all, so to each their own, I guess.
