Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Region Poster Map

The poster map from the Inner Sea World Guide is now available for sale separately. (It's not available rolled—only folded.)

Just for the record: its 1 inch longer than the map in the original (3.5) campaign guide, but otherwise similar in size. (Got my new campaign guide today)

The colour contrast has been improved, and the wording is a lot bigger and clearer. The borders are also clearer. (One early PC was from Ostenso, in Andoran... in the campaign I was playing in)

It's certainly a better map, but if you have the original map, I am not convinced its worth the extra money to buy it seperatly.

If you want a nice big map, and don't want the campaign guide, or the even bigger map, its a good product.

And Region is spelled correctly. ;)

So much for "The Fabled City of Xin-Shalast"

I'm really dumbfounded by the decision to print the location of Xin-Shalast on all of these maps. It's such a spoiler.

My party is in the process of searching for Xin-Shalast in the last of the ROTRL series. Having it printed on the map kills some of the suspense.

I've asked my players not to look but that's kinda silly.

So much for there being any suspense to that module. Or the Lost Cities supplement for that matter. Not very lost any more.

<shakes head>

Well I am two minds about the lost cities on the map. As a GM I like it for reference. But I get Osopolare's point. I don't recall off the top of my head if the latest gaz map had them listed or not. If not then it is a good player map and this a good GM map.

Thinking about getting this framed up, but I need to find a frame that fits.

I have a question regarding this map and other similar ones done by Paizo. Are these originally hand drawn, or is a mapmaking program used? My reason for asking is because I myself am working on Pathfinder setting that plan to publish and, though I try, my mapmaking artistry is not to my level of acceptance and makers like Campaign Cartographer, while really nice, just don't seem to capture what i want either. The Golrarian maps and style is really close and I need to know if I'm either missing the right programs or the right artists.

I'm almost certain that Rob Lazzeretti, who is the cartographer who did this map—along with the majority of our maps, uses Photoshop.
