I recently came back to D&D after a long hiatus and started perusing the Canonfire! site as well as these forums. A couple of months ago I started a campaign based in the Thillonrian penninsula. To my delight I found some fantanstic maps on the Canonfire website and having access to a plotter at work I decided to print these bad boys out for my players. (Thanks Eric!) Unfortunately the poster sized version of Eastern Rhizia is corrupted on Canonfire and so far I haven't found it hosted on anyone elses website.


And if you haven't seen these yet do yourself a favor and get an account on Canonfire! and download them.

Delglath proudly puffs out his chest as the one who encouraged Eric to push Gary into hosting the maps since Gary is a lazy-assed beatch sometimes :D

Yeah, I love 'em. They're VERY well researched and have all the locations of all the villages, towns and cities ever mentioned in any supplement. And there are a few little tidbits he's added like the most logical placing of Old Wintershiven (he's a map dude through some sort of geography degree or something so he placed it where he thought it would most likely have been based on all sorts of esoteric criteria ), and the topography is an insanely great addition to the world as no longer are you forced to think, "Mountain, plain, river, hill," but rather can see where the rises and falls of the terrain are and thus more easily describe to players the location and adjudicate terrain movement modifiers.

As for the downloads being broke... yeah... been waiting for that to get fixed for MONTHS. I told 'em about it ages ago but still nothing... if you hassle Gary enough it MIGHT get done sooner rather than later, but that requires a LOT of hassling

Yes they are maps and they are fantastic.

Actually Eric's maps are the best I've seen ever. If I was a d20 company I would get this man on board for some serious map making. I can appreciate his work more having played with this map making stuff for a while and before I use to draw some kick arse maps. But Eric has a natural talent for these things. My maps now are aweful nothing like they once were.

But I think if their is ever another published LG or regular GH supplement made that Eric's maps should be included in them. Eric reminds me of a friend of mine that went to Spain. He was a geography and history major. This guy was **** retentive when it came to maps. His favorite book was the Similaron by Tolkien. He like the geographical references in the book.

Okay, should be all fixed:

Keep me informed of anymore broken downloads (we moved some files and forgot to update all the links.)

And yes, the Anondson maps are very cool!

I'm afraid the West Rhizia maps are still coming up as a missing/broken link, Gary.

And yes, Eric, the maps are indeed quite stunning. I'm looking forward to your forthcoming maps dealing with the Sheldomar (especially Geoff).

Delglath mutters something incomprehensible, and yet somehow you're sure it's rather vulgar and rude, with the only bit you catch being, "...Great Kingdom..."

Oh, I think Delglath was whining about getting the Great Kingdom before the Sheldomar.


I of course, wanna see them both! Plus the Azure Sea, plus the Oljatt Sea, plus the Baklnish Northwest.....

Someday!
