I was poking around the other day and came across this post on a site called From the Sorcerer's Skull, which was new to me. It had two cool maps, on of Tombstone and one of Deadwood. The Tombstone map is from a book and very accurately depicts the town at the time, but the Deadwood map was more of thing of art. It is a very beautiful black and white illustration that sparks the imagination.
I was at school with some time to kill so I started messing around with the map, giving it some color and a parchmenty feel. Once I was finished I couldn't help but think that this map would be great for my upcoming Aces & Eights campaign.
However, since the campaign will be taking place in New Mexico primarily I doubt they will ever get up that way. Then I figured with a little work I could "file the serial numbers off" the map and re-tittle and re-label it for my own purposes. I thought I'd share the blank edited version in case anyone else was similarly inclined. Please note that I don't own this map. As I said above, I didn't make it. So I can't give you permission to use it for X, Y, or Z project. 
A big thanks to Trey over at From the Sorcerer's Skull for sharing!
Aces & Eights must be on everyone's mind. I'm starting to work my way through the material again with the hopes of running something soon.
ReplyDeleteHey Dude,
ReplyDeleteThanks for post. I love this old map. I was there when I was a kid and it is so much different now from the pictures I have seen. If you pu the modern Y shape layout of Deadwood against this map you can see it all fall into place.
A real find!!!

The Deadwood map is from the HBO show, it's not a real Deadwood map. It's HBO property, my guy
ReplyDeleteYou can tell since it literally has the names of the characters in it - Doc Cochran, Alma, those aren't real people. It's also modeled after the ranch in California it was filmed in
