Mark’s Threshold v1
Although most of Mark’s work has focused on hex maps, he has taken the occasional detour into other kinds of maps. This reproduction of GAZ1’s (or perhaps B1-9’s) Threshold is the first such example, and it dates back to his MS Paint period, from 2005-2006. The date, September 2006, suggests that his was one of the last maps he made at that time.
The resolution isn’t great, unfortunately — a particular shame since the rendition is otherwise rather nice. Luckily, Mark remedied this with a second version when he returned to mapping, in 2019.
