I want to start by saying how much I love Dungeon. The last few years have been top notch, and I'd like to thank the Dungeon staff for providing me with my favorite gaming products over the last couple years. I look forward to each issue much more than I do with new releases by Wizards.
Still, I have a request to make. Would it be possible to place each map a page or two further into the adventure? Sound weird? Lemme splain by example.
In the new issue (#128), pg 49 has the map of the Arena's Understructure...and only rooms 1 & 2.5 on the same page. So for rooms 2.5-15, I've got to turn back 1-2 pages if I want to refer to the map. The same is true repeatedly:
Champion's Belt:
- map for rooms 16-23 on pg 51, room 16 descr on pg 52.
- map for 24-32 on pg 53, descr for room 24 on pg 54.
Shut-In:
- maps are on page 23, descr of room 1 on pg 24.
Fireplace Level:
- map for V1-8 on pg 90, descr of rm 1 on pgs 91-92.
Now, I'm perfectly aware that we're talking about a 1 page map compared to room descriptions that span several pages. I'm also not trying to be picky, so if it were always 1-2 pages I wouldn't be posting this. It's the periodic need to turn (for example) from page 59 to 53 to view the appropriate map that I'd love to avoid. My personal preference would be to place the map in the center of the appropriate group of room descriptions, rather than making the reader turn back so far.
Pretty please??
