Basically every fantasy campaign setting. Ever. Presented in map format

Quote from: Baulderstone;857110I'm guessing you haven't read actually much new fantasy in the last 20 years.

Or I'm looking in the wrong bookstores or asking the wrong people. Of course I don't like "Urban Fantasy" which keeps me away from a lot of it, nor do I like "Black Company" and its relatives which is another huge chunk.

But I still maintain there's nobody, or almost nobody, writing good ol' "swords and sorcery" any more. Fafhrd's settled back down in his homelands and spawned a brood of kids and the Mouser is a high level administrator for the new Overlord of Lankhmar. (Actually, I don't know what Lieber actually did with them, that's a metaphor.)

The Thraxis series by Martin Scott. The Eddie LaCrosse series by Alex Bledsoe. Just two series off the top of my head. I would add Glen Cook's Garrett series, but I'm sure you wouldn't consider it to be swords and sorcery.

Quote from: Simlasa;856508My homebrew DCC setting actually is pretty much inspired by a similar map...

Man is my DCC homebrew not. I have to get it published as a setting now, if there's people running something this generic (under-)using the most gonzo set of rules ever.

Personally, I kind of like THIS every-fantasy-campaign-ever map.

No, not the one the OP posted...

THAT is the one my DCC campaign was inspired by!
Plus other weird crap and the original Minaria map: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j59/venusboys3/minaria_zpskqhejxz9.jpg

'Inspired by' can be a long ways from 'copied word for word'... plus, like I mentioned, in mine areas move in and out and around as new ones come in. It's more like a fantasy version of Rifts/Torg... with a bit of Ravenloft.

That Minaria map has more style just in the damn city icons then some other entire maps.

That map was cool. Still is too.

'Clockwork Tsars'? 'Evil Shangri-La'? That is something I will have to use for my own at some point

That sounds more like it!
