Bluffside Faux Pas?
Bluffside Faux Pas?
I know that the Trolls are probably just now leaving the Convention Center in Indy, so this may not be something they'll be able to answer right away, but this evening was the first chance I had to look over my Gen Con haul, and among the other things I got from the TLG booth was the softcover Bluffside city book.
After gandering through it for a while I noticed an oddity. Is there not actually a map of the city of Bluffside in there? Credits are listed for cartographers and for a pullout map, but I'm not finding either an actual pullout map or an obvious place where one was attached and perhaps lost before I picked up the book. In fact, I'm not actually finding any maps at all on the interior. Was that a printing gaffe? Did I just get the lucky (erm, unlucky) pick of the litter? Or was this kind of the "beta run" that will be patched up later?
And that said, what would be the chance I could either get a copy of the map to the Bluffside book sent my way, or return my copy of Bluffside to y'all in exchange for a copy that has a map of the city?

You apparently got an unofficial Gen Con only early release. The official full release is yet to happen.
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

Re: Bluffside Faux Pas?
When they do produce the final version I hope they'll send me a copy. But in the meantime, a question for ArgoForg. Please check the timeline and let me know what year the Goblinoid war occurred in following the disappearance of Jarman the Wise?
Re: Bluffside Faux Pas?
Jarman the Wise disappears in 1158; the Goblinoid War begins and ends the next year, 1159, according to the timeline in my copy.Traveller wrote:When they do produce the final version I hope they'll send me a copy.

Ahhhh, see, that's what I was afraid of. That's what I get for not keeping up here during my computer issues. I thought maybe I'd just missed the full release.Treebore wrote:You apparently got an unofficial Gen Con only early release. The official full release is yet to happen.

Re: Bluffside Faux Pas?
Thanks for replying. That tells me what I needed to know.

Re: Bluffside Faux Pas?
Got Campaign Cartographer and Fractal Mapper both. Fractal is better IMO, but I'm a control freak and decided I still do better mapping by hand than the computer can so went back to 'old school' dwg. Of course, it helps I'm a drafter/engr. tech too. lol

Re: Bluffside Faux Pas?
Peter B reworked them all so I it should not be an issue. The maps we still have seem to open as jpg's.Relaxo wrote:that takes me back!

Re: Bluffside Faux Pas?
I meant my own personal files.
I like to think there's a CC reader DL somewhere.
