[QUOTE="Bront, post: 3764564, member: 19696"] Not familiar with what "points of light" means, as I haven't been paying attention, RA is correct that you need more than a few good cities amis a mass of evil. Bandits and raiders along roads? That's fairly standard without the wild being "overrun bu evil". Entirely evil cities? Great! A country overrun? Fantastic. Everywhere? No. I've never been a huge fan of planar travel, though Planescape always intrigued me. I do suggest we keep things simple and use whatever plainer cosmology is presented in 4E, with as few tweeks as possable. As for an actual map, I'm all for one, but that requires someone to create and maintain it, preferably more than one person, and to do it in such a way that it can be replicated. LEW has 2 nice maps, and then the person who did them disapeared, and no one's been able to replicate them. Also, not every place deserves to be on the map. In LEW, Covington has seen 2 adventures that I'm aware of. It deserves to have a writeup (which I am working on, there's sort of one), but it's small, and would not likely be on a map. If we stick every little town on a map, it begins to clutter the map and stifle creativity to a point. (Dang it! There's a city there already, and it's an all dwarf city, that won't do). [/QUOTE]
