I've been working on the Sewers map, which I have as a scanned PDF file.
Imported it into photoshop, and noticed some colour differences, especially in the water. So I tried to fix that a tad with a colour filter over the water. I've also added several hidden rooms, and tried to obscure the large hidden room in the left top corner.
There were 2 problems with the map:
1) because the (badly) scanned pages were put together not too well, there was a bit of space missing exactly in the middle (vertically), which you can see when looking at the door to the room in the middle of the map. I've added space to fix this, and filled it with textures, that hopefully won't be too noticable.
2) the thin white gridlines on the map are all wrong. It's as if they were randomly added, without really looking at the layout of the map. I've added new gridlines that fit very nicely, but I need to get rid of the old ones, which is a hard thing to do.
I've made a seperate tile page with hidden rooms, so you can place them on the map when players discover a hidden door. Having them pre-printed on the map kind of takes away the surprise. Still, I might also make a PDF of the map with all extra rooms added, but without any doors, so you can choose where to place doors yourself, just like the original HQ board.
I'm also going to add an extra quest as an introduction, taking place in the town over the sewers. When all's finished I'll have a booklet in PDF format, with some flavor text, rules of play, three quests and all maps added in A4 sized pieces including extra room tiles.
Any input is appreciated ;)
