I didn't realize that's the full map, nice. Save as...Could take the online scans and have it printed off to a smaller format if you wanted something more usable.

My understanding is that someone high up at TSR was so floored by Ed Greenwood's petsobal map of Waterdeep that they insisted it hade to be a product.Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad product just presented poorly as it's not easy to use at the table. It's more of a DM tool than anything. It has many redeeming qualities too as does Cities of Mystery. For one, it has the Roaringhorn Estate detailed. I recall a night my players went carousing in Waterdeeep and ended up there. The hazing for newbies to the estate was to chug a mug of Dwaeven Fire Ale and jump off the balcony into the yard below then run back up and chug another ale. One player puffs out his chest, "I'll do it", fails his poison saving throw. The partygoers throw him off the balcony and at this point the players got the bubble guts, it's about to come out of both ends. I tell him his PC has to go, gotta go. gotta go right now....what do you do? He drops trow and does the old hut, hut, hike on the Roaringhorns front lawn. Spontaneous pick-up sessions like that one were always the best. So honestly, I got some use out of that boxed set.
If Im not mistaken, which I may be, I think Eds OG D&D game was Waterdeep and then the Dales, Myth Drannor?My understanding is that someone high up at TSR was so floored by Ed Greenwood's petsobal map of Waterdeep that they insisted it hade to be a product.
Yup, hence why those areas are so mysteriously well-developed and detailed.If Im not mistaken, which I may be, I think Eds OG D&D game was Waterdeep and then the Dales, Myth Drannor?
Always liked a good Dales, Myth Drannor, Cormyr and Moonsea campaign, All rolled into one. Cormyrs great with their hippie weapon bonds.Yup, hence why those areas are so mysteriously well-developed and detailed.
Virtually all my 2e and 3e campaigns were set in that region. It really sucks that they've basically ignored it in 5e. Hopefully, they'll get around to putting adventures there at some point...Always liked a good Dales, Myth Drannor, Cormyr and Moonsea campaign, All rolled into one.

Hmm, putting this into a google maps-like interface could be a lot of fun to navigate around...Could take the online scans and have it printed off to a smaller format if you wanted something more usable.

Same, Sea a of fallen Stars was an awesome supplement awesome too.Virtually all my 2e and 3e campaigns were set in that region. It really sucks that they've basically ignored it in 5e. Hopefully, they'll get around to putting adventures there at some point...
Yeah, the TSR Archive site has a lot of maps scanned in. Well worth looking throughI didn't realize that's the full map, nice. Save as...
I guess it might work to think of Calimshan as being more like Morocco while Zakhara is like the Middle East.
