More poster maps?

[Darrell]

I believe I've read in one post that the first issue of the Savage Tide AP is going to feature a poster map of Sasserine, similar to the maps of Diamond Lake and Alhaster from Age of Worms; and James said that there will be a map showing the relative locations of Sasserine, Isle of Dread, Scuttlecove, and all later on.

Are there any other such maps planned? Scuttlecove, perhaps?

And, if so, are backdrop articles planned for these locations?

I'm sincerely hoping so, because these types of issues are my favorites since Paizo started handling Dungeon. I've never run a single adventure from either AP, but I've used the crap out of Diamond Lake (had to replace the issue, eventually), and will probably be doing the same with Alhaster soon (the PCs are headed that way).

Backdrop articles are the best thing to happen to Dungeon since...well...Paizo.

Just wondering...

Bump -- I'm interested too :)

There will be poster maps AND backdrop articles for Savage Tide. Issue #139 will have both, a poster map of Sasserine and a backdrop of the city. Beyond that, we've got plans for a few more of each but it's still too early to announce them.

Cool. The "backdrop/poster map" issues are the ones I tend to buy multiple copies of. I seem to get more use out of 'em than I do the regular issues. Even though I'm not running AoW right now, my current party started in Diamond Lake, has spent a great deal of time in the general area (resulting in one of the poster maps being framed and hung on the wall during game sessions and the virtual destruction of one issue through sheer overuse), and is about to go to the Isle of Dread (I'm going to be running a modified version of X1, with an eye toward "Torrents of Dread" in the near future). I had planned to take them to Alhaster...'cuz I like the 'evil city' plot possibilities, but they wanna do some seagoing stuff, so here we go.

Can't wait to see Sasserine, and whatever else you guys may have in the wings.
