[QUOTE="Dungeonosophy, post: 6357760, member: 6688049"] [b]map of adventure locations[/b] The atlas could show where all the adventures are located. This would be like the Known World map from Blue Box (Expert Set), which shows where all the Basic and Expert adventures are set in Mystara. See the little bullet points: [ATTACH=CONFIG]63452._xfImport[/ATTACH] I imagine a full color, 2-page world map of each key world (with the spine left blank, so that the book could be laid flat and color copied to make a map for display.) But after that map there'd be a "DM's map" which shows the official location of all adventures, the route of all characters in novels and comic books, and the location of all video games. The mapped out "area of play" of each adventure module and video game would be outlined. I suggest going all out, and placing every single "generic" adventure, from all editions, on some D&D world. Some adventures (perhaps most) could be placed in multiple worlds, in the same way that the Keep on the Borderlands exists in Greyhawk, Mystara, and Nerath, and the Sunless Citadel exists in Greyhawk (somewhere) and Nerath. Core adventures such the 3E Adventure Path (which began with Sunless Citadel) ought to exist in all the other medieval fantasy worlds too. Definitively placing these sites on the map wouldn't rub DMs the wrong way if 5E also clearly stated that every DM's Multiverse is an alternate parallel sibling of "WotC's D&D Multiverse". This would energize interest in the D&D Classics and in the 5E Multiverse as a whole. [/QUOTE]
