[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 9737253, member: 907"] Note that Dark Sun, as settings go, is really small. This is the approximate size of the original DS box set map superimposed on a map of the FR Sword Coast: [ATTACH type="full" size="717x909"]415283[/ATTACH] The revised map is significantly larger, but still not quite the size of the region that has had FR fans complaining the last few years that they've only focused on a tiny part of the setting: [ATTACH type="full" size="664x802"]415287[/ATTACH] Or, to use real-world comparisons: [ATTACH type="full" size="527x554"]415289[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" size="576x574"]415290[/ATTACH] Now, the Last Sea is at the very north end of the map so yes, it is quite far away – about 660 miles north of Tyr (a bit longer if you're going to the city). But we're talking about the same distance as Waterdeep to Candlekeep in FR – not exactly next door, particularly not with Athasian terrain, but not "other side of the world" distances. (For the record, the approximate sizes are 360 x 240 miles for the OG map and 800 x 1000 miles for the revised – so the revised has ~8 times the area with ~2 times the amount of material) [/QUOTE]
