Getting ready for the first session of Saga of the Icelanders here in Oslo, reading up on old sagas, aswell as cleaning up this old map of north west Iceland so It’s ready to be used as a play map.

Wow, very nice map, where did you find it? It’s uncannily similar to the one I had made for the game.
Just used GIMP to mess with this image http://www.helmink.com/Antique_Map_Ortelius_Iceland/Scans/Ortelius%20Iceland%203.jpg There’s many scans of that map on the web, but thats the highest quality one I’ve found.
Since it’s so early in the settlement, I want to put PC and NPCs names on the fjords, hills and valleys instead of the old icelandic settlers name (Arnesfjord etc)
Nice job of removing the names! Any tips on how to do this? How long did it take?
Coooooooooooooooooooool!
Just use the clone tool, to copy the texture from somewhere else on the map. You just use it as a brush, doesn’t take much longer than painting over some names.
I found a large, black and white GIF of the original map and took off all the names and buildings. I think I’ll take a break before I work on the water portions.
