oriental adventures campaign map

Legend
okay, this is kind of a weird request (or a lazy one, at least), but does anyone know of a site with interesting maps that can be used as a framework for an oriental adventures campaign? i'm looking for regional and city maps (handdrawn if possible, real-world asia or fantasy realm, whatever--just not the bland style of map for rokugan in oa, yech!) as a springboard for campaign design. ancient maps of japan or china (or a fantasy equivalent) with details of mountain ranges, city locations, rivers, great temples, etc. would be the ideal. i spent three hours yesterday searching through google search results without any real luck. please help!

no idea if this will help you, but here's a link to the map of the homebrew world I use for OA.

it's not particularly detailed, but I did do a fair amount of research into Chinese history and such before I made it, so it should have some value.


feel free to use. just say something nice about me if you do. or even if you don't. I'm a nice guy after all
;)
 

How about the map provided in Chris Pramas' excellent Dragon Fist game? Still available as a PDF at WotC's site, I think.
 

thanks! here are a few nice words: yongi, you should be commended! great map! might be just what i need. do you have a campaign website (from which i can steal ... er, borrow ... more of your stuff)?

and rune ... you too should be commended. it was your story hour that sparked my interest in an oriental adventures campaign ... that and the fact that i now live in the land of the rising sun. i'll give the wotc site a go and see about that dragon fist map now.

Hey darkbard, thanks! I'm glad the map is something you (might) be able to use. I don't currently have a site up for any of the content - mainly because I got stalled on getting the game together. But drop me an email (yongi@nospam.io.com - drop the "nospam") and I'll email you my notes and such.

It's now looking a bit like I'll never get this game off the ground, so I'd love to have someone get use out of the damned thing!

-y-

p.s. what's it like living in Japan? I'm jealous!
