[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8044608, member: 7006"] The Theros map blows chunks in my opinion, and I'm not usually one who cares about the art stuff like this. There's barely any detail on any of the land pieces, it's all just like watercolor washes to signify plains, forests, hills, mountains etc. I guess we're supposed to assume that the brown areas are mountains and that the darker browns are [I]taller[/I] mountains, but not that you can really tell where these start/stop because there's like just the barest hint of texture to differentiate any of it. Not to mention that there's an entire peninsula to the southeast of Theros on the map that is huge (almost as big as Meletis) but is completely empty of anything. Why bother putting this huge land area on a map that has nothing to do with the three main polis that make up the setting? And really, that's true for the entire map... you have Meletis, Akros, and Setessa in the dead center of the map, taking up like maybe 1/9th of the space... and then all this other empty space around it going off for hundreds of miles in every direction with almost nothing identifiable in them. Did we need an entire half of the map be the Siren Sea with several dozen landmasses that make up the Dakra Islands... none of which have anything on them and which the setting itself says they move around and change/disappear on a whim? An entire waste of space. I don't need every map to be a Schley classic... but it'd be nice to have one that actually focuses and gives detail about where we actually are meant to adventure in. I'm hoping to run a Theros campaign in the near future, so I'm desperately hoping someone over at Campaign Cartographer or Cartographer's Guild makes their own better version of the Theros map because I'd love to see it.
