There's something about this sort of map that tugs at my heart, it's like a gateway to hundreds of places, each one containing some detail of interest, a mystery, adventure, or a poignant ending.
I've always felt this way about maps, but I imagine that the beautiful cloth maps of the early Ultima series cemented this feeling. Each point of interest on those maps was an invitation to explore a richer world.
This map doesn't have that level of reality behind it, and it may never, but if you look at even one place on it and wonder what's there, we're sharing the same feeling.
UPDATE! The map has now been updated to version 1.0, with all the adventures marked on it (except of course the extra-planar Extent of Gamandes).
UPDATE 2! The link has now been updated to always point to the latest version of the map (currently 1.2).
Any place to order a printed version?
ReplyDeleteThere are two versions of it (player/GM) in the compendium; in the case of the limited edition, on the inside covers. You're looking for the map separately? In which case, no, but that's not a bad idea.
