After several years in the making, I’m pleased to finally announce the Athasian Cartographer’s Guild website is now reborn, thanks to the incredible efforts of @greyorm and the Pristine Tower dev team!
For those not familiar with the site, since 2000 this has been the most expansive source of collected canon and fanon geography for Athas and Dark Sun. And now the site and its maps have been comprehensively updated to better serve its purpose and help DMs and players explore the whole world.
Features:
-Entirely new structure which works across all sizes of computers and devices
-An upgraded planetary map with carefully constructed proportions and scales.
-New vector-based high detail maps for nearly all the map tiles covering the original revised map, plus the west coast of the neighbouring Anattan continent.
-A new scheme for encouraging aspiring mapmakers to join us.
Before I even click on the reincarnated site, congratulations team on this surely extraordinary effort to make this happen. Very important for the continuation of the setting. I hope to use the new maps for my campaign very soon.
The continental maps are Mercator projections, and are missing the poles. There is a stretched globe at the top of the main map page (a Mollweide projection). Hope that helps.
Yes it is back up and running now, wow I was about to be very very sad if this did not come back online. (ps is their a patreon or some way to support the effort of the guild because y’all are workin’ out here)
Careful what you wish for, that’s how we get a modern day athas with no depth or civil unrest. (I don’t support the evil things that exist in athas, but that’s what makes being hero’s of the waists so damn pleasing)
, we’re looking into it now. Thanks for the heads up!
