This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: KenHR;248953Actually, the maps look pretty awesome:

EDIT: Is one of those larger maps Blackmoor?  It looks sorta like it...

Pfft! I threw away my own 20 years of D&D notes. Why would I buy some other guy's? :D

Besides - my maps were better!

Obviously you're not the target market. :)

Your maps are objectively better, though.  That's fantastic work.

On the one hand, it'd be kinda cool to peer inside someone else's world.  But do I really need another pile of random papers.  I have enough trouble deciphering my own decade plus old notes - I imagine someone elses would nigh impossible.

Absolutely.  It's neat to come across a stray page of notes or some maps in a used book or boxed set, but this might be a bit much.  I just thought it was funny that someone was even selling someone's random notes and scribbles.

Over $10 now. It looks like a fun collection; if I was studying the cultural/ethnographic history of D&D, it'd be a gold mine. As it is, yeah, I don't have room for such a thing.

Thanks, Ken, Wulfgar! I do think they are good, but not objectively better. They are a completely different type of map, and you can't compare apples and oranges, and "objectively" can't apply to anything where personal taste is involved in the judging. They just are subjectively better for me, is all. :D

I was, of course, joking in the spirit of the original post. Still, it's nice to know someone was interested! :D

No, no, no, did you get the memo?  I am the final arbiter of taste in gaming maps.

Yours are objectively better. :)

Of course! I wasn't ragging on you for harshing his buzz or whatever.

Disappointed to see that the price is now $3.50--either I made a mistake or somebody retracted. I hate to see culture go into the trashcan; obviously we can't save it all but I'll bet there are some pretty inspired campaigns out there that were private labors of love and collaboration in small groups, that never made it into publication in the wider world. For people who are seriously interested in gaming culture, that stuff ought to be as interesting as the multivolume collections of Prof. Tolkien's not-ready-for-primetime notes.

Someone probably realized that the typed / printed notes don't have spaces between the period at the end of a sentence and the start of the next one. Deciphering someone else's notes would be hard enough, but jammed together ideas like that would make it impossible for me.

Those are freaking amazing Flyingmice, as someone who loves making his own maps, what's your secret?

I have a bunch of ideas I'll sell on eBay if anyone is interested...
