[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 4778188, member: 17691"] Thanks for the kind words guys. Honestly, seeing that people still post to this thread occasionally is what keeps me motivated to continue working on the map. So thanks for the proverbial whip crack. ;) Woah... That's a whole other kettle of fish. I've often entertained dreams of trying my hand at a non-abstract building by building map of the Cage, but the logistics involved would make it a herculean task. Each of Sigil's wards individually is, on average, bigger in surface area than the largest fantasy cities that have been professionally mapped out to date (including Waterdeep, Plotus, greyhawk and the like). To work at an equivalent scale, in which most buildings wouldn't appear much larger than a pinhead, it'd require a map roughly 2-ft by 15-ft in length.
