3. Thank you for all you do Anna. My son just became a teenager and his friends and him have become very interested in DND and asked me to run a campaign. I haven't played AD&D since 1997 or so.

   Instead of running 5th edition, I'm going to breakout the old 2nd edition content. I think generation Z considers it "retro". Regardless, I'm looking forward to playing again. It's my first try at being a DM!!
   Regardless, you're maps are very inspirational. Is there a way I can donate to your efforts?

4. Beautiful job. I stumbled upon it accidentally (yaayyy, serendipity). I am not a professional cartographer, but as a retired environmental geologist who routinely produced specialized maps for site evaluations, I have some experience with and appreciation for the art as well as science of the discipline. I also played D&D back in the day using the TSR World of Greyhawk for our campaign. I have enjoyed zooming in and scrolling around your rendering of the Flanaess. Had to do a bit of research to get back up to date (post 585 cy). Anyway, thank you for your comprehensive and excellent work.

5. How large would I need to print this to be able to see most of the small towns/detail? Is it even feasible/possible? This is one of the most detailed, most complete, most beautiful maps I have seen and I really want a physical copy to hang on my wall in my game room.

   1. Hi Matt!
      In order to see the smallest text it needs to be full size (or very close) which is 116x100 inches. I'm sure there are printers that can handle prints of that size at high quality in one go, but it will be costly. More than $500 and maybe even $1000. Much easier to make it in pieces, the Atlas version I'm working on at the moment is is 11x17 inch pieces. This is something you can print on an inkjet at home and it will cost you some ink and paper, which is much more manageable. A24x36 inch version will come later as well.
      I hope this might help you out.

6. Any plans on adding the ability to draw a line between two points and have it calculate the distance? I'll be running a campaign soon and I need to know the distance between Saltmarsh and Uskarn.

   1. Good question Mark!
      A distance tool requires the map to be shown in some sort of software with that function, and the image needs to be referenced properly. I'm planning to start using GIS (Geographical Information System) tools like QGIS, this opens up a myriad for new possibilities including measuring tools. Virtual Table Tops like Fantasy Grounds also have this function, but usually only for dungeon or small area maps. Hopefully there will come tools that adds it for large scale overland maps as well.
      To create a tools to properly view and manage setting maps is something I want to do, but that will take years so it is a long term project.

8. This is amazing and obviously a labor of love. I just learned of this project a few months ago and will try to spread the word!
   Is there a way to purchase this as a full blown map? Say, 3 foot by 5 foot?
