City of the Invincible Overlord, Color Map Release

[robertsconley]

Bat in the Attic Games and Judges Guild is pleased to announce the release of the City State of the Invincible Overlord, Color Map on Friday November 24th 2017.

In 1976, Bob Bledsaw and Bill Owens went into business as Judges Guild. Their initial offering was centered on a magnificent 22" by 34" map of the City State of Invincible Overlord. First appearing at Gen Con IX, it was sold literally out of the trunk of a car during the convention.

Now forty years later that map has been redrawn in full color. It preserves all the original detail while adding new ones like rocks, foot paths, trees, and shrubbery. This has been checked against the no-name city blueprint that was the first draft of the map. This helped to clarify details obscured by the offset printing process used in the 1970s.

This map is not a scanned image of the original but has been redrawn from scratch.

This product contains several versions of the map.

A vector based PDF with layers at 22" by 34"
A bitmap based PDF at 22" by 34"
A jpeg of the map with building labels and legends removed suitable for Virtual Tabletop software.
Instructions for using the VTT map with Roll20
A 17" by 14" map with the city arranged in its correct location on the original 5 mile hex map published on the back of the Wilderlands of High Fantasy.
A PDF with overlapping sections of the full map suitable for printing on letter size paper.
A PDF with a letter sized black and white only map suitable for taking notes on during a campaign.

This product is a authorized Judges Guild release for the Wilderlands of High Fantasy.

A coupon for a complimentary copy will be offered to all backers of the City State of the Invincible Overlord kickstarter. Please check the comment section of the Kickstarter for instructions.

I purchased this from them (Bob the Second? Sir Bill of Owen?) immediately after the Kickstarter ended (I learned of it a minute after it ended and he permitted me buy it through the website) - Ought I ask if I can get in on this?

Thank you so much, good sir. Didn't see your post here until now - day or two after I replied and thanked you via PM.

The package contains five maps.
Four full scale maps of the four quarters of the city. There is considerable overlap between the map.
One overall map of the city resized to fit 12" by 18".

I didn't do it sooner because I thought they were discontinuing the 18" by 12" poster option.

Speaking of which, has the (previously mentioned and paid for) newer version of the CSIO ever reached completion? I didn't buy it for the Pathfinder translations - I only hoped for better formatting for easier reading.
