[QUOTE="trancejeremy, post: 2015549, member: 924"] I am a gigantic critic of Mongoose's editing (Conan's lack of editing, leaving out the massive damage rules in OGL Horror, them not crediting Holistic for the Open Content they borrowed from Fading Suns d20 for Conan, using AD&D 2E spells for the Quintessential Witch, etc, etc, etc), to the point where I don't buy Mongoose's stuff anymore (at least not new), but this seems hard to check up on - it's a pretty obscure (sort of) source, a downloadable map from the WOTC site (though apparently originally from a boxed set on Thay). Though then again, now that I read in the thread that the map doesn't seem to be of a city like Shadizar, so maybe it should have been caught, for not fitting the author's description. That's actually weird. I always thought city maps were sort of sketched out by the author of the city (who does the keyed locations and such) and then given to the artist to create a nice looking version of it. [/QUOTE]
