[QUOTE="ES2, post: 1099268, member: 13789"] There is no doubt that the Scarred Lands have the most Prestinge Classes than any other campaign setting. There is, on just averages here, 6 in each book they release. I say 6 cuz there are some city books with no PrC's, and there are those player's guides that have 12+, so they average about 6. Count the number of books that do have PrC's...uhm, perhaps Nightfall will have better numbers than me, but at least 11 SL books have PrC, so that is at least 66-70 prestige classes for the campaign setting alone, and that number isn't stopping anytime soon. At least these PrC's fit the setting and make sense, so that's a bonus for the SL. Still, they have too many for me to handle. About Maps in campaign settings...I am on Trainz side with this. I think that for each major section they describe there should be at least ONE map to help guide players along. Not everybody can draw maps, not everybody can visualize maps, and not everyone is as gifted as some other folks on these boards. I wanted to run a SL campaign, but I found it very difficult to visualize the world because of this lack of map help. I read the books, got a feel for the world, but I need some maps to help guide me. I sold my books two months later after struggling with it. I can pick up the FR, use that Atlas, and I'm gaming in a matter of minutes. I would not ask a company to provide maps for everything, that would be asking to much, but I would like to have more than what many are providing lately. If only to have one to three for each major area, I think that would better than none. And to actually answer the question: NO! :D [/QUOTE]
