The terrain is setup in equal spacing. Kinda silly. A Sphinx ala Egypt...really!
To me the way to make this map is an Oasis setting and then a more open desert setting with potential elevations of sand etc.
I agree on side with water the other without. But just unbroken sand? Thats called a piece of tan paper. I won't lay out 12 bucks for tan graph paper ever. The features are a nice way of adding some interest to an encounter.
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name...
I have to question the logic of including water on both sides of a desert flip mat. One side? Absolutely. People (and critters) are drawn to water. But the flip side should have been unbroken desert. (***--)
What is wrong in having a side dedicated to unrelenting scorching sand like a desert should be? With this the Dungeon Master is lumbered with rocks, shrubs and even an oasis. "Oh, um... Ignore the oasis it's just a mirage!" Features that are inescapable on both sides. And then you've got a sphinx, but not a whole sphinx just half a sphinx. This would've been better with one side as plain sand and the other an oasis encounter with a pool of water surrounded by palm trees and some ruins. Or the flip side being a tented caravan maybe.
Love this flip-mat. have used it several times, including PFS scenarios set in Qadira and Osirion. Used the Sphinx as a statue to Irori, just a little imagination and this map works well for almost any desert terrain you need.
The only negative I have is the same mentioned in another review, one side should be straight desert dunes and scrub, no oasis. Still a great map, beautifully drawn.
