[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 2894296, member: 26473"] I love having a map in my hand, especially one that I made. I love that a map is a tangible record of our progress, that it grows each time we get together to play. I love looking at the map after the game and wondering what's down the corridor we didn't take, or through the door we didn't open. I love listening to the game master's description and wondering if I got it right, and if it will make a difference later on. I love trying to figure out where the secret doors are. I love the stains from cups and glasses and errant snack foods that become blood and ichor and filth when describing the map in-character. I love the little notations in the margins, the stick-figure illustration of the dead goblins, the legend for symbols so that I can tell the difference between an arrow trap and a poison dart trap. I love looking at that blank sheet of graph paper and wondering how it will look when we're done. I love me some mapping, yes I do. [/QUOTE]
