[QUOTE="El Jefe, post: 3057011, member: 19990"] [b]Discussion - Adventure:-- LPNN (Manzanita Judging)[/b] :o You'd think after posting rln's summary of LPNN that I'd remember doing so and forego several days of crawling through the thread... Well, things were kinda crazy last May, that was a post that was moved due to the crash. I did a lot of cleanup work in this thread about then. I had a couple of comments about the thread that I was going to post, anyway. The first rln already hit on, that the text description of Rangarata's location and the map location was quite different. The map location makes more sense, to the southwest of Lathirn. I don't see how you could possibly reach it after only 5 days of normal (non-magical) travel from Orussus, so I'm chalking that up to 5 days being in sync with the text and reality being in sync with the map. It doesn't bother me that Rangarata didn't appear on the map prior to this adventure. I think we've established a precedent that really small villages aren't shown, and Rangarata is a really small village. Arguably, it's smaller than Covington, and Covington is a village of 500 that isn't shown on the map. It troubles me more that the Detikyll, a river large enought for a trader to ply in a boat, doesn't appear on the map.
