[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 3696714, member: 18280"] I neither force nor encourage players to map, but then neither do I assume that they know where they are going if they do not. I've had players draw rough maps even when I was drawing areas for minis, so that they could navigate, and for fun, and because they appreciated the complexity of the space that they were in. I've had players completely ignore mapping because a space was logical enough in its design, or small enough, that mapping wasn't necessary. I don't care either way. There is something to be said for maps, though, whether PC drawn or found in a dungeon, that makes the space seem "real". If you DM, and you enjoy pouring over maps in products such as modules and Dungeon magazine (RIP), then you know what I mean. An overview grounds the place, makes the connections between areas understandable, and simply adds to the "feel" of a location. RC [/QUOTE]
