[QUOTE="Maldin, post: 5478230, member: 27170"] Hmmm... Looks like I'm going to have to update my pop-up labels on the City of Greyhawk webpage with street names! I've recently been asked about this from several different directions. When I was doing final editing on the map I did for Iquander (= Erik Mona), we briefly debated putting the street names on, but decided that the map would end up too cluttered. And yes, the map that appears in Expedition to Greyhawk Ruins (and is also available as a download on the WotC site - or at least used to be), is an artistic (I think it looks good too) tracing of my original LGJ map. And I mean a precise tracing. Mike not only caught every building, but literally everything down to every single tree and fence post I had drawn on my original map. I was quite amazed. As such, it adds no new information at all (not even a shrub). It would have been nice, though, if WotC had actually bothered to acknowledge me as the original designer within the credits of that publication. It wasn't Erik's doing. He found out about it after the book was published. Erik was nice enough about it to send me a free copy, autographed by the three of them.
