My 11 year old daughter said she wanted to Map the world of our new 2nd ed game thus far ‘neatly’.
This is what she came up with. OMG gamer kid pride!

Whoa that’s really good. I have 12 5th graders all drawing their own dungeons and I wish they had those skills.
Ben Milton Get them this book! Nathan and I have copies, it changed my mapping life forever.

I’ve seen that before! It looks cool. I do a lot of mapmaking myself though (I have a series of mapmaking tutorials on youtube) so I feel pretty confident.
Ben Milton I know you’re better than fine, but I was thinking of the children! Sometimes they work better beside a book (like I did) than they do at the feet of the actual masters. I don’t understand why, but the book helped me more than anything.
Yeah, the little cartographer devours Jared’s advice with aplomb but ignores me. At any rate, she is colouring tonight after our short ‘after dinner’ sessions.

That is a gorgeous map.
Lovely!
The island at the southern end of the map is lovingly nicknamed ‘dog doing a poo island’. We think that gnolls may live there 😉
Man, serious respect for your daughter. Would make any gamer dad proud. I’ll see what my son will make when he’s her age. And hopefully he’ll have loads more examples like her!
I hope she draws more, that map tells so many stories. Love it!
Holy crap. And here I was thinking MY 11-year old daughter had drawing chops. That’s lovely!
Ha ha! I’m sure that your daughter has great RPG art skills Jason Lutes! Next she wants to do a ‘Hand Tooled’ Character Sheet for her character (A Dwarf Fighter).
Matt Horam that book is good also I found this one to be good as well. absolutetabletop.com – Be a Better Campaign Master, Book One: Building the World [PDF]
The force is strong with this one.
