<p>:P </blockquote><p>Really? Then I'll tip my rusty old dwarven helmet to you, Sir, and acknowledge your talent as one of the best map-designers I've yet seen!
<p>I've had the pleasure of playing under several excellent GMs who were also fantastically good at designing functional yet exciting maps; it didn't matter if we were exploring country inns, towers, mansions, temples or dungeons, I always felt excited to explore every nook and cranny to see what waited behind every door, and also how the maps would eventually look like (some of those maps I've later stolen for my own home games!). </p>
<p>A couple of them were also talented calligraphers and artists, which meant we players were also "spoiled" with lots of fantastic hand-outs. Decades of playing under such game masters honed my skills as well, or that's what I like to think, although there's still miles to go if I ever want to achieve that same level they've done (or perhaps that is simply raw natural talent?). I daily pray to Asmodeus to improve my skills, but sadly my Almighty Master has not yet seen me worthy enough of His Blessing! ;P</p>
<p>But, seriously, although I may not be a master mapmaker, I recognise that same talent in your maps, James. :)</p>James Jacobs wrote:Asgetrion wrote: @Anorak: Finally got my copy last monday, and I thought all the maps in the adventure were actually quite good.

<p>However, I have to agree with you on the Roderick's Cove town map (why is there a grid on it?!?) and the weird "single-page-to-contain-them-all" type of overland/ship map (the ship map is useless and the overland map is too small to make out any details). It is even more peculiar that there is no overland map of the island itself; the silhouette of the Mountain in <i>Dungeons of Golarion</i> doesn't really help (I think it's actually somewhat contradictory to module's description of the island). It takes some work for the GM to "connect the dots" before running the module, but fortunately the adventure itself is fantastic.</p>Anorak wrote:Hmm overall this looks like a lot of fun.
