Title: Gloranthan Maps
Post by: Simon Bray on April 02, 2004, 07:05:57 PM
Hi All,

As some of you may know the Unspoken Word has specialised in Gloranthan Maps since the companies creation. We already have a good product stock including The Lunar Empire, Imther, Tarsh, Heortland, Dagori Inkarth, Pavis County and Esrolia Maps. We have several other maps in development including a Lunar City, The Greatlands and Prax and Pamaltela. Our current proposal is to do a Seshnela and perhaps a Ralios Map. Are there any others that you the punters would like to see?

How would you feel about generic maps? For example a Lunar Fort, an Orlanthi Tula or Stead, Troll Caverns or Praxian encampments? Maps that would be full colour but could be dropped into any game. Would you prefer these available seperately or grouped? A4 or A3? Please let me know.

More importantly if you have any maps you want to see published contact the Unspoken Word via their website or me directly

Cheers Simon

A detailed map of Kralorela (perhaps extending to Vormain), would be nice. Teshnos too, while you're about it.

The generic maps are a good idea; but rather than full-colour I would prefer to see them cheaper and in groups, as I would really only use them as examples.

Hi,

I already have both Teshnos and Kralorela in the early stages of development, although they do not include Vormain. I would probably look at putting Vormain in a detailed East Islands map.

The generic maps may well work out cheaper than our larger maps and so could be bundled relatively affordably in colour.

A map of the East Isles, with or without Vormain, would definitely be of interest to me. Now if only there was a series of culture sourcebooks in development to go with...

I have been working on an East Isles map for years, but it is unfortunately still far from presentable.

One advantage of "generic" maps is that they might have some applicability for people who do not play in Glorantha. Might broaden your sales base. I mean, all a GM has to do it change the shrine of Yanafal Tarnils in the Lunar Fort to any appropriate god, and it'll probably usable, right?

I would love to see maps for Fronela - loskalm, Jonatela, Arrolian City States, etc.

On a more widely useful front, it would be cool to have more detailed maps of specific parts of the Lunar Empire, like the map on the back of Tarsh in Flames.

Pent would be interesting too, if it included information that has not been seen before - which it would almost have to. :)

Ok! Ok! So I am a map junkie...

Well, the back cover of Sons of Kargzant (out in about a week, BTW) has a colour map of Erigia, which will also be released as an A3 campaign map, and we've already released Imther.

As for Pent, that's in the works...

All the best
