12 pages, plus printing on the inside of the front and back covers
This booklet includes 11 small, one-page maps. They aren't scaled, or either given hexes or squares. They're simple but attractive pen-drawn maps. These are paid for by Matt Jackson's Patreon campaign.
If you're familiar with Matt's work from his Moleskin Maps series (reviewed here), this is pretty much the same thing - only a little more so. What makes these stand out is that are coupled with a story setting up what the inhabitants could be/are, and the overall presentation.
This is just beautiful. It's got a brown cover, interior paper that appears as if it is old and yellowed (but is still new and strong), slightly rough edges in spots, and generally feels like a quality piece of printing.
The writing is clear and evocative, and the maps are the same.
Tim Shorts took a look at it back in July, but I just noted it and moved on. I'm glad I've gotten a copy of my own, because this is just nice to have, hold, own, and (hopefully) use in my gaming. Recommended.
Peter, I am glad you liked your copy and I hope you enjoy using it at your table. If you need any of the maps in digital format, all should be available on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks. If you have a direct link for people to buy this, let me know and I'll put it in the review.
