(TFT) Re: Alternative Wilderness Maps

[James Eckman <ronin_engineer@comcast.net>]

If your players really are bopping off into a truly trackless wilderness 
then the hex map method is OK. Though being the evil bastard that I am I 
will point out that impassible rivers and gorges exist as well as 
mountains that are just no fun to climb ;) Though once they players have 
found a good path, they can always turn it into a toll road!


Another map used historically as well as nowadays is basically a roadmap 
that shows the roads, paths and crossings as well as towns, cities and 
villages. They were sometimes marked with travel times and other useful 
information. This map is easy to make and it doesn't pin you down on the 
in between areas so much.

You can also make the players have the appropriate skills required to 
read the fancy maps ;)
