Isle of Dread - Maps

[Angel Tarragon]

So which is your favorite map of the isle of dread. The one on page 33 of Issue #143 or the four-panel map that was included with #141?

Do you mean issue #114?

Do you mean issue #114?

Nope. I am talking about the current Adventure Path maps.

Dungeon 141 has the 4-panel map of the ship Sea Wyvern, so I think you mean issue 114 which contained the first 4-panel map of the Isle of Dread that supported the adventure Torrents of Dread by Greg Vaughn (pre-Savage Tide).

My extremely biased opinion is that the first map is better because it is bigger and it's mounted on poster board and hanging on my wall, both of which are impractical to do with the magazine sized map in #143 unless you're good at reproducing stuff like that in larger scale and you happen to work at Kinko's with a lot of time on your hands :\

As a DM, the latter map obviously has a ton of keyed locations labeled on it with a ton of adventuring crunch described in Tides of Dread (which, BTW, I sincerely hope you enjoy since I co-wrote it).

I am loving it!

I like the new one... the Players can write on it, and I think it'll be a fun thing to play with as they explore the island.

He may mean the players' map which accompanied Dragon #351.

As a hand-out, that map is superb, very nicely done. As something with which to actually run the game, the one in Dungeon #143 is preferable, and it looks good too.

X6 Quagmire had a map of the area too

I've got this X1: The Isle of Dread module that has a map in it too

I thought it was great when I first got it, but I haven't taken a look at it since I shelved it 8 years ago or so. I'll have to dig it out.

Oh, right. Duh! Thanks. Yeah, it's a really fun map. I think I'm going to laminate mine so my players can write on it with dry-erase markers and I can simply wipe the notes off after this campaign. Then I can reuse it again for whatever else I happen to do with the Isle of Dread.
