Seeing it superimposed like that rather impressed upon me that, yeah, Yttaria is kind of huge. EDIT: Corrected size issue with Alaska.

Likewise, transporting anything with the limitation of horse or oxen powered wagons, or even simple foot traffic, is going to severely limit the distances at which certain settlements will be from others. I believe that GURPS FANTASY for 4e makes a passing nod to this (been a while since I last read the book). For some this doesn't matter. For others... <shrug> |

Also every town is built on top of or next to a dungeon itself, part of its economy coming from adventurers plundering the place for valuable resources.

Re: What Do You Want For Yrth
Yeah, the one I grabbed had a smaller Alaska and larger Hawaii. That's typical of maps that throw in the two outer States. I scaled it to the Continental 48.

Re: What Do You Want For Yrth
I think there are several stumbling blocks, the biggest is religion:
Beyond that there seems to have been no thought when writing Banestorm about how the plot would progress in the future. Personally the Caithness civil war interests me the most and a couple of things are glaringly missing: How many troops each player has and what the Elves are up to (It's hinted that their motives aren't what they say they are, but no further explanation is offered) |

Re: What Do You Want For Yrth
If I remember right, mass combat has some units for Yrth in it.

Re: What Do You Want For Yrth
Its not so much that the units are built for Yrth, as that the combat example is set in yrth.
