...so I let my players buy a map from a vendor at a festival (leading to ancient ruins and adventure, of course). They seem really keen on following up on it so I'm prepping for next session assuming they'll follow the map out of town.
I think I want to give them a handout of the map... Any experiences/advice that would make having a handout here particularly interesting/compelling?
The map will depict the current city, an abandoned road, and an ancient road that lead to the ruins. Other items on route are very flexible, though there are no other settled areas (the wilderness is very... wild). The accuracy of the map is questionable, but I want my players to be able to get to their destination as depicted.
As a player I always loved getting maps as handouts - what makes a good map handout a great one?
