Can't go wrong with one of the loveliest maps in the history of delving :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I could ever run a Greyhawk campaign again, but the Darlene maps make me want to try.
ReplyDeleteThose Greyhawk maps are the Platonic ideal of campaign maps.
ReplyDeleteThe Greyhawk map is nice, but I still far prefer the Judges Guild maps. I prefer terrain not to conform to hex boundaries. I also like that the JG maps have a variety of small terrain features compared to many other maps (Greyhawk included) which seem to only show large expanses (though the Mystara maps I think are worse, where it seems several whole countries are a single terrain).

going on vacation to the Wooly Bay? I hear Safeton has some nice beaches...
ReplyDeleteThey do, but they're jammed with tourists this time of year. If you really want to get away you need to pack the RV and head a couple of hexes inland to the Jewel River; there are some great little villages along there and they'll put you up in their hayloft for a few coppers; it's really rustic. Just don't overdo it o the duty-free mead; it doesn't taste as potent as it is; a few flagons in and suddenly you can't feel your feet!
ReplyDeleteBear in mind that the Greyhawk maps are 30 miles per hex, while the Wilderlands maps are 5 miles per hex.
ReplyDeleteThe scale makes it easier to show "smaller" terrain features. The zoom-in maps of products like "Iuz the Evil" et al do have the sort of minor features that couldn't make it on the wonderful Darlene maps without turning it into a hopeless clutter.
how many hexes to the gallon do those RVs get anyway?
ReplyDeleteJust under 700 leagues to the Hogshead, which isn't too great (especially considering they don't build 'em with fuel tanks much bigger than half a rundlet).
ReplyDeleteMordenkainen apparently built one that got ten times the hexage, but he suppressed it for political reasons; I think he was worried about the impact on Iuz's mobility.
