Cartographical evisceration

So, a day later, about four hours worth of learning curve, and a paper cut (second only to hard plastic wrapping in deadliness) and my map is finally done! Well, I say done... what I mean is it's good enough until (read if ever) I have the wherewithal, time and money to invest in a professional artist to make one up. But I gotta say I'm happy with the result.

I'm just a bit worried the dimensions might not be right for the print edition and some of the fonts too small... we'll see.

Oh, and for all you RPG lovers, feel free to use this map for any games you want to play!
