Dark Fantasy Symbols

Written by

I finally got around to updating the old Dark Fantasy symbols to CC3 and decided to make them available for free.

The set contains more than 500 Mountain, Vegetation and Structure symbols, geared towards a slightly “darker” fantasy setting. You can download them from here: Maps and More “Dark Fantasy” Symbol Set.

Simply run the exe file (Windows 7 and Vista users right-click and choose “Run as Admin”) and it will add the symbols to your CC3 installation. See the readme file for instructions how to use them

Enjoy!

I highly recommend this symbol set to anyone doing vector graphic mapping with CC2 Pro or CC3. In the days before we switched to raster mapping, this was one of our favorite symbol sets.

I installed this but do not have the option when doing New overland to pick the ss1 style.

What should I do?

Do you have Symbol Set 1 – Fantasy Overland installed? It’s an add-on symbol set for CC3.

Hello. I’ve ran into a problem. When i run the file, i get a message about not finding the regadd.bat and regadd.reg in the CC3 folder (the path is correct). I’m running this in Win8. Do you have a solution for this problem?

Regards,
Vasilis

  Hi! Right-click the file and choose “Run as Administrator” to execute it. That should take care of the problem.

Hi. Is it okay to use these symbols in a commercial map? Also, do you have any plans to do a raster version? Very nice set, by the way – I’m impressed 🙂

  Thank you very much! 🙂 Yes, you are free to use the symbols for commercial projects. Perhaps someday I’ll get around to doing a raster version, but there no current plans.

Heya! I was wondering, could you possibly release a version of these for use in Photoshop? I’ve never been a huge fan of CC3’s layout, but these icons would make life so much easier whilst creating my D&D world map. These are absolutely gorgeous and I’d love to use them. Thank you!

  As these are pure vector symbols reproducing them in Photoshop is a little too much work at the moment. Perhaps in the future!

I might be silly, but I can’t seem to find the old symbol set now that I’ve installed this one.

Ralf, I need help with this. It seems to have erased all my previous symbols? And I can’t find the black and purple castles.

Hi Ralf! I had a question… years ago (2019-2020 timeframe) I made a wonderdraft map using these assets, but for Wonderdraft, not CC3… I can’t seem to find them. Are they still available somewhere? Thank you,
Isaac
