This is probably old news, but what exactly is the story on getting a current timeline map of Ansalon? I'm aware of the multi-page web enhancement map on the WOTC site, but something along the lines of the foldout map in Tales of the Lance would be great.

Have I just missed an announcement?

Nope. Visit your friendly neighborhood Kinkos with the WOTC site files!

Is this to mean that there hasnt been an announcement, or that there will be no map period?

I can deal with waiting for one, but if there isnt going to be one at all thats enough to tick me off.

A clarification please?

There's not one available yet, so there hasn't been an announcement, but I'm sure Sovereign Press is aware of the demand for a full-color fold out map.

Cheers,

No problem. Remember, I'm just Joe Freelancer. Jamie's the only one who can tell you this sort of thing for sure.

Cheers,

Okay, here's the answer--all official-like.

There will be a Fourth Age poster-map of Ansalon in this summer's War of the Lance supplement. The large poster-map of the Fifth Age will be included in next year's Gazateer of the Age of Mortals, along with lots of terrific interior maps.

You mean the map that has the Great Wall of China on it? (I'm not kidding, look at the map and you'll find a label that says 'Great Wall of China.')

Yes, the map that was published before it had been finished, since it was covered in blank white dots and "filler" labels for them all. I imagine somebody was kicking themselves for that.

"Hey Joe, got that map for the new boxed set?"
"Not quite done with it, Bob. I'll give it to you tomorrow."
"No time! We'll just use what you have."
"Aaaaugh! But... it has the Great Wall of China!"
"Relax, fans will love it regardless!"

Cheers,
Cam

Yes. Every once in a while, you have to trust that management knows what it's doing.

That doesn't explain the rest of TotL though. ;)

alright, so it has the wall of china. maybe China was a kingpriest or something =)

honestly though, that map was filled with so much cool stuff that it would be a crying shame not to bring those places back. at the least, give us something more than the super sparse map wotc uploaded...

The great wall of china - why not. When you see at the ansalon map. You can found 4 from 5 continents from earth.

Or say it so all Continents and islands other than America.
