I'm sure that just like many of you guys, I grew up reading some great books like
The Lord of The Rings that were part fantasy and part travel/adventure stories. A book like that has me consulting the map periodically and I do enjoy a good map.
Perdido Street Station had a map and I had to check it out frequently. OK, I didn't really
have to, but I like maps.
The Scar, although taking us on a wider tour of Bas-Lag is, so far, totally mapless. There is a lot of description of where we are going, etc. but no map. I asked the Google for a map and I got one:
This site has a bunch of game-related information set on the world that contains New Crobuzon, apparently including some spoilers so watch out. If anyone wants to run a game where I can play Mayor Rudgutter, I'm all in.
I also wanted a map in the
First Law books, but since they were traveling to "the edge of the world' and it was mysterious and (mostly) unknown, I'm a little more forgiving.
