[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 6442868, member: 10479"] You seem to be making leaps based on what you expect to find or based on omissions of specific information countering what you suggest is assumed. You need look no further than the suggestion of using the map board from Outdoor Survival game in (O)D&D but, again, giving tips on how to get a setting started to new GMs in the 1E AD&D DMG isn't a question of tailoring the setting to the PCs but rather staying ahead of the players needs until such time as a homebrewed setting can be more fully ready to explore. This misconception on your part is a product of reading something with eyes now used to reading all that has come later rather than reading things for what they were. That's where some of the deliberate misreading comes in. I've discussed conflating metagaming and authorial control in previous posts, the OP subject rather than the side discussion which rages on.
