Re: Worminghall Map Scale
Snagged the 1899 one for if I ever restart my Gurps 1889 campaign.

Re: Worminghall Map Scale
You're welcome, dcarson. I hope I'll get around to making a version of that one that shows all of Europe. We just needed the eastern part for our book.

I don't see any value in that sufficient to justify the immense amount of work it requires. My preference is to divide towns and cities into quarters and subsections, and if necessary to name and map specific buildings, but never generic buildings like random people's homes. |

Also, I see the town as major NPC in a Worminghall campaign and I couldn't quite get a living picture of that from the maps alone. The city comes alive in the prose text, but I can't really give large portions of that to the players to whet their appetite. Just having a map that shows the winding roads, the cramped confines in the high town, the more open low town, the squalid Tail and the abbey sitting above it all would be great. As an aside, I'm not going to start this campaign before December and I likely won't know the PCs for the next month, so there's really no rush to get into detailed plot planning. I can start drawing the map just fine, though. |

Re: Worminghall Map Scale
I think understand this sort of project. It can be hard to convey to players what you find so captivating about a setting through speech alone. Devoting more time than is strictly sensible to an art project that helps to get the feeling across is another avenue to communicate with your players. But on top of that, it is a way to enjoy the fictional world you value so much.

Re: Worminghall Map Scale
Just out of curiosity - was any mention made of the Contour heights?
