<t>Wizards let the cat of out the bag when they released the d20 SRD under the Open Gaming License. Various Wizards folks stated that they fully expected that people will make their own games out of the material. They probably were not expecting people to recreate older editions either in feel (like...

Yes. What I am looking for the map referred too in the introduction of original Dungeons & Dragons. Quote: "ONCE UPON A TIME, long, long ago there was a little group known as the Castle and Crusade Society. Their fantasy rules were published, and to this writer's knowledge, brought about mu...

<r>When I did my review of First Fantasy Campaign, I intended on finding an old Dutch Map and drawing it up as a fantasy map as the final post. But alas I couldn't quite figure out which old dutch map to use or how it looked anything like Blackmoor.<br/> <br/> But now thanks to James Mishler of Adve...

<t>Actually it is not for Greyhawk Info but rather going back to the source with the idea of making new version for present day gamers to use free of entanglements with Wizards.<br/> <br/> For example of what I mean James Mishler figured out how Arneson's reference to using Old Dutch Maps worked. I ...

In the introduction to the original Dungeon & Dragons, it talks about a map put out by the old Castles & Crusades society that has a Great Kingdom on it.

Does anybody have a scan or image of this map.

Thanks

<r>For those of you with Fight On! #3 and desiring a full map of the Map 19 the Wild North!

<r>Goodman Games has posted a pdf that has player version of the maps found in Points of Light.

Talk about, subtle, insidious, subliminal, infiltration....

Some info on Points of Light.... Points of Light is a gazetteer for four separate lands. It is 48 pages and retails for $12.99. Each land has a map done in old school style with numbered hexes. Each lands has text describing a series of geographical locations and locales keyed to the numbed hex grid...

A partial preview of a Points of Light Map. Note that a full fledged preview will done closer to the release date.

<r>While I threw the idea out there I don't have the time to do this right. So if you (or other folks) want to organize the team then by all means do so.

<t>Given the extensive, and interesting, messages left by the late Mr. Gygax Perhaps it would be a good idea for a team to visit the various message boards and collect all of his posts.

<t>Sorry to be negative about this but considering that blueprint and poster printers are available throughout the US, that the formats you listed are available in free PDFs I don't see much demand for a print product.

<t>I been gaming since the late 70's so I been through a couple of cycles of this stuff. From my point of view there is more diversity of ideas and content since when I first starting gaming.

<t>I say hexes boil down to how are you doing your references. Numbered hexes are a compact easy to find way of indexing locations. However hexes can break the visual impact of a map. <br/> <br/> Based on your projected product plan I would say go with numbered hexes. This will saw you time and mone...
