AutoNav map for Liberation at Riverton?

[ArmySGT.]

True. But I am NOT looking for a scan of Project File R-001, nor even of the Autonav itself -- just the circular map screen of Riverton.

...which is a moot point what with the arrival of this morning's mail, since one of my former players who is snowed in up in NH mailed me *his* old copy of the module, so I can use that one for my upcoming session. The Google Earth view you provided is nice, but I'd really rather use a topo map view, even if it *is* crudely done. But thank you for the assistance. (and that Autonav braden1986 did is WAY cool!)

As to NOT giving out free scans of the modules, DON'T. Three of them are by ME, and while I'm not getting paid royalties for them, I still would prefer to see Timeline make some money off of their sales to support the ongoing edition of the game.

(Hey, I didn't shove a sizable chunk of my writing career into this RPG just to see it wither and die. I nearly did, but the game shouldn't!)

Oh, I can make it a topo map, there is a .kmz file that converts the Google Earth image to a topographic map. I use it camping and hiking here in Colorado. You add the file from here to do that. http://www.earthpoint.us/TopoMap.aspx

The print doesn't look like a topo map, I didn't see any elevation contour lines. That could mean it is just very flat there though.

Try Paint.net http://www.getpaint.net/index.html

It is free and does most things Photoshop does, but is a bit simpler.

If you need a web resource for topo maps of the us you can go here

http://mapper.acme.com/

buttons for topo are on the top right.

The mapnik option would also be useful if you plan to use maps in any situation where Google copyright might enter the picture as it is open-source. Please do not construe this as legal advice but I believe that if you attribute it properly you can use them in games.

3c. If I make something with OSM data, do I now have to apply your license to my whole work

No. For example, if you have written a game or published an artistic map which includes OSM data, only the data is covered by the license. This is called a Produced Work.

You can also get topographical maps for free as PDF from http://store.usgs.gov. Just click on the Map Locator and Downloader link and pick the areas and year you want. Most maps I found from 2011 and 2014 are 7.5 minute. The ones from 1989 vary greatly in the scale.

Good Lord, KATO13, that is a really awesome thing you put together there.

I feel so damn old now. We did everything by hand with photocopies and *literal* cut-and-paste with actual scissors and tape.

ArmySGT, WAY cool! The topo maps really do add so much more than the original module. (Although they can sometimes lead players to go off on wild tangents because they saw something on the topo map that has nothing to do with the module.)

You know, I never did find out why the first module fictionalized all the place names and details...

Maybe we should begin a fan collaborative rewrite of "Liberation at Riverton".

Starting with the name....... No river features in this terrain.

Grayling gone wrong Liberation at Grayling Chain breaker

[mmartin798]

Grayling is the riverhead for the AuSable river. Grayling is also the starting point for an annual canoe race from there to Alpena on Lake Huron. Granted, the AuSable really can only be navigated by canoe and kayak, but the numerous hydroelectric dams along it create dam ponds that can sport small boats.

You should add the other impact area north east of Grayling as well. It is pretty much the area north of the east most spot you have labeled "N. Guard Motorpool" all the way to the county line north and east to about the edge of the map.

Looks like a Tank Gunnery range to me.

[mmartin798]

Yes it is Sgt. It is also used for simulated bombing runs an even live bombs from time to time.

North west of this (and off this map) is an artillery range with simulated building using connexes. Some patterned on europe and some middle eastern in organization.
