[QUOTE="Wangalade, post: 6318458, member: 6691437"] ok, this does seem to be true, but after looking up what sense of place signifies on several sites, I don't see any map contributing to sense of place. Sense of place seems more to result from a person's specific knowledge of history, geography, legends, combined with the feelings about each aspect of the place. one acquires a sense of place from experience and living in/near that place. with that in mind I don't think a map contributes to a role player's sense of place, it seems to fall more on the details of the interaction with the place in game. It would be great to hear an example of how someone would use this map in play that could not just be duplicated by a list of places and a short description. I don't see it serving any purpose as a map(looking at it from a cartographic perspective). [/QUOTE]
