I thought it'd be fun to post what has become of my JG City State/Wilderness game known as Northwind up to this point. Areas in reddish pink are hotspots for adventure in this ever growing world ... To view in detail, just right click and view image ... well, that works on my Linux system, anyways ... John.

It was always a great map, wasn't it?

I have never used a map that sang to me like this one.
I have run Forgotten Realms and Mystara, and while they also have good maps, they seem to lack something that the City State Map has ... Character? Of course Bob and company made sure to include Lurid Lairs and the like for hex-crawling SUGGESTIONS which goes a long way to providing character - the design of the map, with it's centralized big forest and surrounding mountain chains - The hills, the moors, the rivers ... I could go on .... the swamps, the small towns ... it's perfection, IMHO, for adventure.

Great maps are founts of ideas. Even those of us who can't really draw can make a few lines on a sheet of paper and start describing what we see in our minds eye and it all comes to life.

Which, of course, promotes your other assertion in an ongoing thread here that you do not have to be a genius to leverage this game, but it helps to have some paper and a #2 or #3 pencil... But once one starts scribbling, that is when the genius in us all comes forth...

After all, who is not capable of scribbling? Young children can draw a map and tell you what they see on it, woe to the adult who has become so lacking in heart that they cannot do the same. When the inner child is dead, the man is dead though he continue for 100 years.

I love maps. And the JG maps are great inspiration.
