I am looking forward to this. I am still geeked from the sneak peek at the world map in this last issue of the Crusader. It looks like it is fleshed out even more. 9 maps it says. Whoohoo! I love it.

So January of 2011? lol.

I think that TLG Steve and maybe even Pete Bradley mentioned that there was a new, big world map project(s) in the works some 12-18 months ago. Some of the work can be seen in the pages of C2 Shades of Mist, and the Umbrage Saga. Though, from both of these sources the scale is vastly different.

How so, O? Could you explain a bit, sir?

In C2 Shades of Mist, there is an very close-up, and detailed map of the Darkenfold. Where the scale there is 1 inch might equal 5 miles or so (can;t remember off hand). While the other new, zoomed-out map that is included in the Umbrage Saga box set (the best map produced to date IMO) was about 1 inch equals 100 miles (or something like that, as I do not have that map in fromt of me).

That being the case, these two maps are not part of the same map project.

Thanks, O.

Man, I am behind on my C&C....though I do have my MTA, so all is not lost.
I am curious as to the descriptions of these new places that appear on the maps! Good times await.

I can't wait for the new Codex. If it's half as good as the d20 Codex, it will be a winner.

And I have a good feeling that the C&C Codex of Aihrde will be better, by a lot!

Considering how much better they have gotten at simple organization and layout? Definitely.

This is the project I want to be working on.

Peter has laid out all nine maps and colored them, now it is up to me to go through and fill in the names, smaller areas of interest, towns, etc. Its a bit painstaking but rather fun. My only problem so far is that Peter tend to put rivers where they aren't and has mistaken some of my roads for rivers and rivers for roads.

As much as I look forward to the CKG, this is what I would rather have you working on as well! That, and the Gods and Monsters of Airhde book.

Yeah, the only reason I want the CKG out any more is so that it will quit detracting from work like this.

As long as it leaves room for individual CKs to plop in their own campaigns without having to redo the whole map.

I think Peter has the maps finished, Rhu. But not a bad suggestion.

I don't know about you guys, but I am geeked about this. Now with the CKG off of Steves back, I hope this gets some attention. Maps, maps, and more maps. Plus maps.

The maps would be nice. I hope TLG can get to them in early 2011 like advertised.
