[QUOTE="Golem Joe, post: 773186, member: 4123"] Drawmack has it about right. I've found city maps to be relatively over rated. For one thing, I'm not very good at it. For another, I rarely use the ones I do draw! :P Much more useful is a list of important places with some detail, a list of important NPCs, a summary of the power structure (both real and unseen), a short list of plots, secrets and other adventure nuggets. Top all this off with a list of rumors. If this is an established group, chances are you already know the kinds of places they seek out. If you're so inclined, detail a number of these in broad terms. Then insert them into your campaign as necessary. Temples, armories, and taverns are always good candidates, as well as any locations that bare special significance to the party members (I've grown accustom to detailing shops for wine and cheese, for instance).
