Well, you can resize images in postimg, but Bay12 also has this neat little tag thing...
{img width=640 height=480} or something like that.

  The example you gave didn't work:

[img width=640 hieght=480]http://i.imgur.com/WJhVVIW.jpg[/img]

  Am I formatting it wrong?

  Edit: I tried postimage, but it got hung up at either 61% or 70% and wouldn't upload any further after several hours.

  Alright! Thanks fixed the post- BlitzDungeoneer gets to decide what reference will be put in the bottom corner of the maps frame!

  The other three are references to Animé, but you don't necessarily have to follow that guideline- that was just whatever I saw looking up from my Sketchpad.

That's pretty cool.
I get what the L is referencing, but what're the other two supposed to reference?

Oh, and we forgot about the pillar-shrine to the ancient hero Lagon who apparently killed the Giant Ape of the Rorrim ages ago. It is small pillar with carvings of mesoamerican style.

It is located west of the sulphur river, south of the great river and north of that fancy thing in the middle of the map's border.

  We're near the end of this map, so I'm going to suggest you guys start discussing some stuff for the next map- I believe we'd decided that we're making a continuation of the current map, so which way we going? Left or Right, Up or Down? What shall we call the next Region? Are all cultures purely Mezo-American or are there going to be other influences?


That's pretty cool.

Bottom-Left: Scyther from Pokemon (Poketwo has been laughing at you! :D)

Top-Left: Code Geass (Their are people prostrating themselves before an eye with the Geass symbol directly below)

Top-Right: Deathnote

Bottom-Right: BlitzDungeoneer has to pick something.

I'll try, but I'm at the stage where I've got little room left for titles, plus I've shaded in some of that area- fortunately, it's shaded in colour pencil which is erasable, or else I wouldn't have even tried.

Why don't we go north, to the ruins of the ancient land of Tekk Saas?

 Up* it is! There will still be a Mayan influence from down below since Tanoa and Rorrim both extend upwards into this region, but otherwise I can do a mostly Native American/Great Plains theme. It'll simply have a Mezo-American Undertone.

  *Up is actually Northwest, the compass rose is at an 30-45 degree angle to match the Isometiric-ish design.

  Alright, you had your fun- no more rubbing it in, understood?

  At long last, you've finished mapping Yaxuun, a Region you've found to be both beautiful and terrifying in equal measure. You now prepare to go to the Northwest ((Up)) to explore and map uncharted lands unknown in your homeland.

  After packing your bags, you head off for... *sigh* once more you find you have no clue where you're going. Perhaps it'll come to you on the road?



  Alright, so we need a name for the next Region, suggestions on areas, settlements & creatures, and 'Easter Eggs' for the four corners. Overwhelm me in a deluge of Magma Ideas!

  Oh, I bought a package of Sharpies recently, so I now have more Colours at your disposal!

going up we find the region "mira" the rivers source is in the middle of mira, a spring/lake.  the lake is full of docile snakes. docile as in. you can step on one by accident and it wont even hiss. you can even pet them.

the snakes are commonly called "filter snakes", because there scales filter out impurities in the water. this keeps the lake and river clean despite animals and swimmers.


the lake itself is often called blessed spring, because its the source of the water, the water is always clean, and the snakes are so docile.
