Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ripzerai" data-source="post: 3976098" data-attributes="member: 38324">There's nothing wrong with Wizards of the Coast releasing generic "Maps of Mystery" or "Trail Maps," but I'm not sure what that has to do with the implied 4e world, which amounts to a "home town" in the DMG, the names of one or two no longer extant empires that could have been anywhere, a pantheon, and not much else. Any map will do for this purpose. The Wilderlands of High Fantasy map, as Grimstaff pointed out, would work perfectly well. You could use a map of Earth or maps of the World of Greyhawk or Mystara or Kalamar or Faerun, or the Maps of Mystery that used to be published in Dungeon (with a continental map in the last print issue).I once ran a campaign that used a map of North America during the Jurassic epoch, and another that used a topological map of Venus. The real issue is that you want WotC (or someone) to print maps. This is a fine and worthy goal. You can't have a map of the "Points of Light setting," though, because beyond a few proper nouns and the "general philosophy" that Havard mentioned, the "Points of Light setting" doesn't exist, and WotC has no plans to make it exist. Insofar as it can be considered a setting, it is a setting designed to work with any map.Because virtually any map (apart from extremely alien ones) will work to portray a nonexistent setting, you are in luck, because many suitable maps are already available. Lucky you! High five.</blockquote>
