This is awesome! I've looked into ciphers a bit, but this is at another level. My group is currently in an arc where the story itself is the mystery, but this is great inspiration for a future arc. Are you a CS Lewis fan? I took a whole class focused on him for grad school, and my literature students are highly encouraged to read his works. He has been my favorite author since I was a child; the more I learn, the greater my appreciation grows!
Thanks, Jon! As always, this is just a project to inspire ideas and give direction if you want to bring it in. I am very much a C S Lewis fan - The Magician's Nephew is my favourite of his books, but his use of layered allegory is so intriguing for me as a reader.
Is there a real-world equivalent to this 'coded' map? Where did you come up with this map style? It seems like a fish-eye, ground-level, viewer-centric type of map projection. It's sort of an inside-out map - a central destintion, with surrounding landmarks/destinations 'fish-eyed' around the central start point. Very intriguing!
The closest, I think, is the liner point-maps at lookouts, which will sometimes be there to show the direction and distance to points of interest. But I altered the idea slightly with the horizon lines, and it works very well as a coded map!
@@RedQuills I just found some wikis about resection, intersection, heading, and bearing. These and orienteering triangulation charts are eerily similar. Well done!
You take maps to a whole new level. This coded map is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you - the coded maps is a less popular video, but I'm honestly very proud of the final result.
That is an epic coded map. Thank you for sharing.
Thank YOU! It's a more obscure kind of map, I'm glad it's helping someone
looks awesome!! love the maps!! We must get you to 1000 subs! 🗺👍
Thank you! It means a lot to have some good feedback - I'm just out here making maps!
