I do have a question. It won't affect my map, but I thought I throw this out in case anyone else was a bit confused. If you are a player and your GM would frown on knowing what was in the free GM guide, stop reading now.
In the timeline section on the pdf's page 7 (page 8 if you count the cover) for March, it says that the capital of the Northern Shahalesti state is Nacaan. For April it says that the army captures Nacaan and heads for the capital of Calanis, which is the one that is on all the maps. Are there two capitals, or am I missing something?
Ok.
HERE is my offering. As the material is written, it seemed to me that most of what was contained in the player's guide should already be on the map (since it's mentioned or illustrated there anyway) and what was in the GM's guide was merely supplemental (like the name of that mountain range). I see nothing on the full map that I wouldn't let my players see to start with, especially if they're supposed to flee from North to South, and this way they have some control over where they decide to go (and I can fill in the pieces as they travel).
Just to be on the safe side, however, I have this in a layered .psd file that I can send to anyone that is interested (and that has a program that will read Photoshop CS2 native files). It's easy to turn on and off what you want to see/have hidden. I've flattened the image to post as a .jpg, however.
As my playstyle is not the same as others, please don't look if you don't want to be spoiled. This is what many would consider the GM's version of the map.
