[QUOTE="sunbeam60, post: 414036, member: 6528"] He he, well, actually it *is* a whole world map. The map covers 2400 x 1750 km (1500 x 1100 miles), which is roughly about the size of Europe. I should say one could have found a lifetime of adventure travelling around Europe in the year 1200, wouldn't you? The dying viking realms to the north, the German Barons fighting, Paris under siege, the growing influence of the church, the remnants of the Roman empire strugling to survive, the Osmans threatening to the east, the babarian hordes swarming in from the great Plains. Enough to wet your appetite, I'd say; realising, of course, that this description of 1200 Europe is somewhat dramatized. Read a book about a Catholic missionary sent north and it took him 3 years of hardcore traveling just to cover half that distance. Bandits, bad weather, broken roads, getting lost and all that. And they didn't even have friendly faces such as Goblins, Gnolls, Dragons and other old-timers to slow things down. Now adventurers would of course have other means of travel as well: magic, flying and all that, but all in all I would say it all equalled out in the end. Sure enough, if a group of PCs made it their single purpose to see it all, they would probably be done before their adventuring career was over, but any DM with his mind up to the task would be sure to include day-to-day difficulties suchs as Sirens on the treacherous seas, undeads risen, closed forests covered in cob-webs, peaks never conquered etc. You're certainly right that it is no Oerth, but then again Grayhawk covers only a small part of it and Feûrun seems to be about the same size as well. Then again, your party might be of the traveling sort :) [Edit:] But thanks for the nice words, dude! Regards Toft [/QUOTE]
