The first thing I got there was the hardcover print of Star Frontiers.
I've picked up a few older modules, especially in the Dragonlance setting (which is a favorite book series, and I've enjoyed running a few campaigns I made up for Dragonlance). One of my co-workers who is in my D&D game is also a big Dragonlance fan (as are his brothers) - and I've offered to run a custom one shot (or campaign if their interest goes beyond the one shot - none of his brothers have ever played any form of D&D but love the book series).
I made one adventure that's on there - my friend's brother - he and his friends were in a game - when the DM's wife decided to give birth just as they'd started Dragon of Ice Spire Peak - so I was asked to step in as a DM. Rather than run that adventure (since they'd barely started), I decided to make a "side quest" adventure for them - to ideally last a session or two (they played, I think it was, once a month), buying the DM enough time to potentially pick up where he'd left off.
I ended up putting that on DMs Guild. Then started putting character origin stories I was writing for people (on Book 11, and each book is at least 50 pages in length!)
I introduce you to Iyah, a world about half the size of Sol 3 (Earth). It is there that I will place the assorted suggestions and elements. But before I did, I needed to have the base map done, lol.
I am at the 3k stage -- though the 6k version you can click through to see is pretty detailed, there is more to come, lol. Next up is Navigable rivers (at this scale, only navigable rivers can be shown). I will do Grid and hex versions, with the same scale -- and I will do Continent versions for each of the six continents that will reduce the main scale to 24 miles to a grid, or one day's travel.
Then it will all be packaged up and given to all of you.

Ok, I added the crater, a magical area, the fire lake, rivers, and odd little things. At this point, I have to split the map up into sections to add in more stuff, as I need to be able to get in tighter. In the process, I analyzed a bit about this map and realized a couple things, lol.
1 - it is a bit more than half the size of the earth, and each grid is 2 degrees of latitude and longitude (for those who track such things). Alternately, it could just be half the world.
2 - This is one of the best maps I have done. The storm patterns are readily visible, biomes structures follow through properly, and damn but there is a nice beauty to it. There are Two rings of fire (chains of volcanoes). There are areas that can readily be used for all manner of traditional "D&D culture" places. Imma proud momma of this one.
Here is an 8k version the map for you to save (click on the picture and head through, will be a new window, right click and save image). It is 15.8 MB in file size, 8192 x 4096 in dimensions at 96 dpi.
Use it for whatever. In my case, I now have a map of the Moon of Wyrlde (Coyola) -- so this is what the folks in my game will see when they look into the night sky, witht he size of it being as big as the palm of their hand (about 9cm or 3.5 inches in diameter in the sky when you look up, so much, much bigger than the Moon, lol).
next up will be the sections. I am going to shoot for one continent per section, and the ratio will be the same (to get that southern middle one) as the main map, only the grid will be set to 24 miles per square, or a "standard day's travel". Once I have figured out where I will put the assorted things into the maps, I will come back and let y'all start figuring out where settlements are and give you ways to populate them.
Kind of a gift from me to all of you, in a sense.

Hah. I read that as saying that some shady board of directors somewhere knows what I'm doing.

I have not, but the Seven Simple Spells one where you rework a few existing spells to their bizarro-world versions is pretty neat.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
