Thread Title : General Norwold Question for Old Dawg

Old Dawg,

As you put the various Gazetteers together for the Norwold region, have you thought of including (perhaps in the Gaz for Alpha or Leeha) a large-scale map of Norwold covering trade routes and the like, as per GAZ 11?

Arghis did so for the Serpent Peninsula (http://arghis.free.fr/d%26d/serpent-peninsula.htm), and I think he did a top-notch job.  I just thought this would be a nice way of tying together the economic information for such a large area, and it might mesh with your upcoming writeup of the Businessman class (as per the teaser in GAZ F8).  Plus, you could add information for Littonia and other nations.

The Economica section of past Mystaran Almanacs has trade data (key commodities, port capacities, etc.) that might help fill any information gaps that may exist in constructing a map like this.

Hmm, I had been tossing around the idea.  The only problem on my end is that I don't have any image files for the trade symbols or the other really nice graphic elements.  I am doing a printer-friendly map of Norwold to be used as a stand-alone military board game in the Alpha gaz, though. 

Since Arghis has resurfaced on the boards, perhaps we should ask him to do the trade map.  Heck, since we're asking, why not one for the Idrisian Sphere as well?

I can generate outline maps with rivers and settlements for the larger regions to start the process.

I think outline maps are all he needs to do the work, based on what he wrote on his site.  My impression is that the process isn't overly difficult.

Arghis, if you're out there, how about it? :)
