Illusionary Press has joined forces with Jonathan Roberts of Fantastic Maps to produce Map Packs based on the Illfrost Campaign Setting. Each Fantastic Maps: Illfrost Retribution map pack contains:

PDFs of the maps in "Retribution" at 1 square = 1 inch scale, for DMs printing on a home printer.
A high resolution JPG for use in virtual tabletops.
A pre-built MapTool file with vision and light set up.

The Illfrost campaign setting is a vast world whose frozen reaches will truly test your players as they face new monsters, struggle to survive in an unforgiving climate, and face a dread so malevolent that it will leave them shivering in their fur-lined boots and eagerly coming back for more... if they survive!

The Illfrost Adventure Path is a 4th Edition compatible Adventure Path from Illusionary Press that will have your players chilled to the bone, not only by its brutal environment, but also by its perilous challenges and unimaginable horrors.

The Illfrost line of products is based in the world of Illfrost created by Don Pritchett, but easily adaptable to your own campaign setting.

Solid map of a tiny encampment in the North

Endzeitgeist — Sep 26, 2012, 10:20 am

This installment of acclaimed cartographer Jonathan Robert's Fantastic Maps-line is 23 pages long, 1 page front cover, 1 page on how to use the map, 2 pages of advertisement, leaving us with 19 pages of maps, so let's check this out!

The 1-page overview map depicts a small coastal settlement in the icy north, including mostly snow-covered ground and a total of 4 paths, one of which is snowed over. The settlement has 5 houses, 2 of which have broken walls, while one houses 4 beds to sleep and another features 2 beds as well as a desk. The final house only has a desk with a couple of chairs. There's also a fisherman's boat on the shore as well as a burning pit of fire.

Beyond the maps in letter-pack format, we also get a A4-version of the pdf for Europeans like yours truly, as well as maptool files and a high-res jpeg, but no grid-less version of it.

Conclusion:
The map per se is beautiful, as we've come to expect from Jonathan Roberts and the pdf is rather inexpensive - however, we do lack a grid-less version of the map, which is a minor bummer for me. The pdf-versions of the maps are fully bookmarked. This settlement is a nice, minimalistic outpost suitable for vikings, Inuit or similar northmen, though calling this tiny thorp a settlement might be stretching it a tad bit. Is this a great little outpost? Yes. If you're looking for a beautiful map of a northern outpost, I'd suggest you check this one out. If you're looking for a whole village, though, you won't find a full one here. Thus, my final verdict will clock in at solid 4 stars.

Enzeitgeist out.
