First of all: big MARDEK fan, bought the game as soon as it was on steam and played it A LOT, both in the early days and now.
Once upon a time (about a year ago) I found a website where all the maps from the game were available. I was using them as I am running a DnD campaign based on MARDEK which has a lot of potential. It has been on hold for a few months due to conflicting agenda's, but we are going to continue soon. However, the website with the maps seems to be dead. I am hoping that somehow I can gain access to the maps again. Preferably by you directly @Tobias as it also gives me the opportunity to properly pay you for their use.
I remember sending an email to the contact email address listed on alorafane when I was just starting with that DnD campaign, but sadly didn't receive an answer. Absolutely no hard feelings :) but here's hoping this will reach you. I'd also gladly discuss my DnD endeavors with you if you are interested at all.
I guess that's about it. Good luck with all your projects and your health. I might not be into everything you are making nowadays, but you gave us MARDEK already and that's more than I could ask for, really made my childhood. I hope that you are really doing something that gives you the self-actualization you deserve to have.
Sorry for the long post

Thanks for your interest in MARDEK! I've never played real-life D&D (just some PC games based on it), though it's interesting knowing something I made inspired that kind of investment! It's great to know it brought you enjoyment even beyond the game itself.
I never had full versions of the maps myself, but I remember them being on the Fig Hunter wiki (I wondered how whoever made them had done so). I'm not sure if that's the site you remember - in which case it's news to me that it's down - but are you familiar with the internet archive/way back machine? You might be able to find a copy of the old site even if it's not around at the moment. You don't need to give me anything for them, though I appreciate the sentiment!
I'm terrible at replying to messages in general, so sorry for not replying to that email! I don't actually remember it, but my memory's not great either.

The wiki still has the maps, but they have a lot of text on them so it's hard to use them. I think it's possible to edit them but I'm pretty bad at graphics. I currently resort to other maps I can find online, so there isn't a big problem or anything but it gives my game something authentic. I'll look into the internet archive later, thanks for the tip!
As for my D&D campaign itself: we did a session last night where my players finally met the world's saviours in the tainted grotto. I had quite some fun impersonating their characters!
If you have interest in trying out D&D yourself, I could could arrange something (if you want of course). It is completely different than any D&D based PC game in my experience.
Due to covid restrictions we have almost exclusively played online up until now, so distance is not an issue (although timing might be). So just let me know and I'll gladly set it up - again, only if you are up for it.
