I get the impression that they are left up to the DM, and are supposed to be kind of mysterious and distant. Also, what is to the west of the Wilderlands map? I have planned to make the desert near Lenamp expand way west, and I will put all the sites from Necropolis there. So I guess that will be the lands of Khemit. I guess what I'm asking is, if the Wilderlands map is only the size of the Mediterranean Sea, then what is all around it? If the world is similar to the size of ours, that's a lot of uncharted space!

The entire continent consists of 15 maps the size of the Wilderlands... that's 270 maps the size of a single campaign map! To the north of the Wilderlands is the Great Glacier, and further lands of the Avalonians. To the east is Karak... Karak actually extends to two maps the size of the entire Wilderlands! Yes, 36 campaign maps worth of Karak. Of course, not all of it is actually the Kingdom of Karak, but much of it is. It truly is a vast state. To the west are the Giant Lands, extending, like Karak to the east, two maps to the west. Much of the map immediately to the west of the Wilderlands is a continuation of the Endless Desert, while the great Giant Kingdoms are further to the west. To the south and southwest are the great Demon Empires, which altogether take up three of the large maps. Northwest, northeast, and southeast are lands even more mysterious, and virtually unknown to the peoples of the Wilderlands. The plan will be to release each section the size of the Wilderlands as its own product. Not sure yet about the level of detail; I'm favoring each product be two maps at 15-mile hexes (i.e., each map nine standard campaign maps), with as much detail as we can squeeze in, perhaps a 128-page book. Making and printing 18 maps for each is just not in the realm of possibility, financially. When? Probably the first one in 2008, maybe sooner if we're lucky. Possibly Karak, with four maps (two back-to-back) and a 256-page book. Got a lot of other stuff to get out the doors, first...

Posts: 269 Dec 4 06 6:17 AM Wight Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yeah, maps and more maps. I'm having a great time DMing the Wilderlands right now using LCoB as the primary adventure. Anyhow, a couple PCs picked Karak as their homeland so it would be fun to have maps to it. ____________________________________________ Next Campaign Setting: Wilderlands of High Fantasy Published Adventures: Lost city of Barakus, Rappan Athuk Reloaded Books I plan to use: Arcana Evolved, Book of the Righteous, Chaositech My Blog(Politics, Opinion)

For, of all the products I wished for, it is exactly this that I've wanted most, by far. More Wilderlands, expanding into the lands that appear in a few choice maps or references, but left to date unfleshed. This is what I want. I really hope you can make it happen.

Posts: 692 Dec 8 06 8:28 PM Vampire Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Marc, Thanks for the offer! At this point, though, it's not a matter of not having the time to do the write-ups, it's a matter of getting all the info from Bob, who does things in his own time frame (as I'm sure we're all aware). That said, send me a sample of your work, and we'll talk about things down the line for other projects... email me at james at adventuregamespubs dot com

He released his products to Judges Guild, Troll Lords and someone else that is escaping my memory. Some of his stuff his still available on Drivethru RPG in PDF format and through Noble Knights for print product. Judges Guild is still in business at a low level. They release Bob's last work, Lost Man Trail, available at DTRPG and Lulu. Supposedely they have two other projects in the works, including a revisiting of Tegal Manor. They are working with a third party to release City State of the Sea Kings (CSSK) primarily focused on the City of Rallu and the Isle of the Blest. All of these materials will be in JG's Universal System format (love it or leave it). Rob Conely of Bat in the Attic Games holds a license to produce new material for his alternate Wilderlands system. I am not aware of any other pending deals. Games I am... Judging - Kingmaker: Adventure Path PFRPG Playing - Tom Crone's, Order of the Rusty Dagger (home brew), PFRPG; Stan Shinn's, Redmark Campaign in the Barrow Maze, S&W White Box; Ken Mezger's, Myth II (home brew), PFRPG "Virtual" Type I Demon ('cuz Yuku's lame)
