Location of GameMastery modules

[trellian]

I was wondering if there were anything planned on where the GameMastery modules were to be placed geographically in relation to each other. I mean D0 and E1 is obviously in the same area, but what about the rest? Will they be placed in Varisia, or somewhere else?

I'm really crazy about the idea of building a world from scratch through adventures, but I'm just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this. J1 seems to be in an Egyptian-like area, but how far away are that from the other modules?

Will you also include backdrop information on the various geographical regions visited in the GameMastery modules?

There is a master map, with the locations of all of the GameMastery Modules, in relation to each other and to the region of Varisia. Alas, we are not quite ready to reveal this information yet. Some of our other, older, products might find a way into our world as well. Lets just say we like to be Compleatists.

As for backdrop info. Each GameMastery Module includes a section in the back the explore the world around that adventure in some detail.

Saying that is like telling Mulder: "There is a place, down in New Mexico, where they store all the UFOs recovered."

Ugh. I'm not sure if you earned a cookie or earned a negative cookie for that.

Hmm, considering how much I hate that spelling: negative cookie.

:P

Like what? I didn't know you guys had done anything prior to Dungeon/Dragon and now the GameMastery business.

I'd guess by the 'compleatists' comment that they are referring to the Compleat Encounters.

Heh... I've been not-so-quietly bugging Jason to detail how the Encounters fit into the new world order. I'm hoping one of the upcoming blogs will try to do just that.

(hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge)

I will say no more.

Yup yup.

I would love to see the following offered, at some point, in support of Pathfinder and the GM modules:
-An oversize, quality-paper map, one-sheet for $19.99.
--Design is such as to support add on maps in the future, as the Known World is explored through APs and GM modules.

Forget it. Anything printed in Dragon and Dungeon is intellectual property of WotC. So starting with issue #1 of PF Paizo won't have access to that information any more and won't be able to refer to it.

I wouldn't expect more references than to the compleat encounter product line.
