Maps of the City of Greyhawk?

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

The adventure path 2 goes to the "Free City"... Am I being too hopeful in hoping for Dungeon to do a poster map?

Actually, that's why I was looking. Over on the Paizo boards, Erik indicated that there will not be a Greyhawk poster map for the AP.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
(gets a drink of water)...
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

That sucks...

Looks like they're going to the "Free City" of CAULDRON then.
(I need to get me some more big city maps... Maybe it's an excuse to buy the Waterdeep map...

Wha?!?! The "arty" map from CoG was AWESOME!
... the other being a highly-detailed and full-color top-down map.

The arty thing might be nice, but it's not a map.

Do tell?! Apparently, someone must have... appropriated it from the set I saw. I'll have to look that up, defeinately, Thanks.

Tetrault's map is very good; looks like he did it with CC2 and the Harn symbol set add-on; definately a plus.

I am almost certain that he did it in Illustrator.

Dennis actually used the map from City of Greyhawk boxed set for reference, and built on it by filling in most of the many gaps between buildings on the CoG map with new buildings, as well as increasing the size of the settlements outside of the city walls. Many had complained that the CoG map was very off that it showed a city with trememdously low density for a walled city that was supposed to be closely similar to a crowded medieval city. *shrug*

You could take Dennis' map and overlay it over the CoG map perfectly, except for his updates.

Glassjaw is indeed correct. The 2e City of Greyhawk box set did indeed include a full-color (and numbered) overhead view poster map of the city, for the DM's use.

Yes.

Right now, eBay is your best friend. Look for either the City of Greyhawk boxed set or a copy of the Living Greyhawk Journal #2, which features Denis's fantastic map.

I've already tried.

Unfortunately, both of these items are very rare, and therefore pretty expensive when they *are* available. I think that there are only two or three CoGs and zero LGJ#2s even available on Ebay right now. $25 or more + shipping is a lot to pay for a single map. Unfortunately, this situation is just likely to get worse as AP2 heats up.

There just doesn't seem to be that much out there for the Free City of Greyhawk. :\

Edit: If you have any extra LGJ#2s laying around in the back room at Paizo, let me know and I'll gladly buy one!

I really hated the 2E CoG boxed set. The map of Greyhawk I used in my games was from Gary Gygax's novel City of Hawks (which is, alas, not very detailed -- it shows the various quarters of the city, a few gates, and that's it -- I'm not sure if it even has a scale), and filled in details from the Gord books, TSR's Lankhmar book, Chaosium's Thieves' World set (which had a lot of overlap fwith Midkemia Press' Cities), and my own imagination. Totally 'unofficial,' but also a lot better (IMO, of course) than the official offerings.

There used to be a webpage showing the 'City of Hawks' Greyhawk map, but the link I have to it seems to be dead. In case this is just temporary, here's the link.
