[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 9126857, member: 54629"] To clarify, it's only the middle one that was commissioned for the 2014 DMG and thus is unpublished. The first and third maps come from [I]Scourge of the Sword Coast[/I], which Schley indicates in their respective descriptions. I suspect that part of the original plan for the 2014 DMG was to include Daggerford as a sample starting town / region, kind of like what they did with Nentir Vale and Fallcrest in the 4e DMG. But I guess that got nixed somewhere along the line. EDIT: Also, I'd just like to add that [I]Scourge of the Sword Coast [/I]is fantastic. It's got a ruined castle overtaken by orcs, a noble house's hunting lodge overtaken by gnolls, a fortified dwarven temple/mine overtaken by duergar, and a riverside town overtaken by goblinoids. All are fantastic, dynamic locations that you could rip out and use in your own campaign. (All of them show the value of [URL='https://thealexandrian.net/wordpress/13085/roleplaying-games/jaquaying-the-dungeon']jaquaysing your dungeons[/URL] as well.) I should also point out that [I]Storm King's Thunder [/I]covers the Daggerford area and, in fact, the status quo in the SKT version of Daggerford is based on the most common results reported by groups that played through [I]Scourge [/I]and reported it in the D&D Encounters poll. (Likewise, the status quo of Baldur's Gate - with Ravengard in charge and the like - is based on the reported playthroughs of [I]Murder in Baldur's Gate[/I]. I don't know how much influence playthroughs of [I]Legacy of the Crystal Shard [/I]had on SKT or Rime of the Frostmaiden, though.) [/QUOTE]
