Ooh! Azash, I'd love to do it! Are you familiar with FR at all, or did you just stumble over the map? Tell me if you want it with cities and roads as well. I could also add in political areas/borders as well if you want to.
I'm interested in FR, though I'm only familiar with the areas between Icewind Dale and the Calim****e Kingdoms at the moment. If you want, you can do the political borders, but could I ask you to help a bit with the kingdoms in other areas of the map?

Err, Calimport is just the capital of Calimshan, the southern peninsula dominated by a vast desert. Northwards from there you have the feudal monarchy of Tethyr, Amn - a mercantilistic plutocracy, and The Western Heartlands with various types of city-states, and the North which is largely a frontier territory. As you might see, this mix makes it difficult at best for NESing if the players are not familiar with the local demo/geographics and history.
FR has divided the map into regions roughly representing the borders of the nations in Faêrun to make it easier to distinguish between these, and where there are no nations to speak of as well (the Western Heartlands). I could just find a map showing the regions, but it's far easier to drop them out and only do the coasts and rivers instead. Which is just what I plan to do, since basing the NES on the actual history of Faêrun would be insane and impossible.
Still, if you want to I can draw in the cities and roads. Forests and mountains would also be nice, since most of Faêrun is dotted with both, and players won't know about them if they don't have a copy of the original map. All this is, if you're planning to run a NES on it at all?

I have parts of the Forgotten realms map, they didnt have all of them to download for some reason.
I hope that works
Edit: it kinda worked, but like i said they are only small parts of the map and they are mostly in the east.

@Steak: Yeah, I'm planning on making a FR NES.. But maybe one could put the biggest citites and such in there and then have the players create their own countries?
yeah well screw you

Interesting. It could turn awkward, though, since the cities are not spread evenly across the map. Besides, the map is HUGE. I'm chipping away with Paint, and I just finished the cape around the Ice Peak and the islands of V'laar (never heard of that one...) in the northwest corner. Covering the entire map could take weeks with all those meandering rivers.
Cutting out an area of the map and basing a NES on that could be an option. The regions along the Sword coast together with the Moonshaes and the Nelanther Isles looks promising. I simply can't do the entire map myself, if I'm not going to be a fulltime cartographer. Of course, you could just send me off to force labour and complete the project at the expense of my life, but I think that is strictly speaking restricted to Civ.

That's ok.. That's fine with me, too, actually. Who the heck could manage a FRNES with all the map availbale?

Okay, I've done the Sword Coast down to Calimport and the islands in the Trackless Sea except the Moonshaes. When I finish those it's basically to draw rivers and dot the cities and it's ready to use. I feel like doing the whole map, but it'll take some time. In any case you'll have to start your FRNES after Newyears I think. I hope you need some time to develop the idea. That way you don't have to wait for the map to be finished.

Yeah. I also ventured to the bottom of the Pit of Doom. And what do I find? Azash pointing at me with a bony finger and laughing himself silly! Death to all undead!
