Build instant terrain ...

Create a couple hundred hexes. You've got a nice adventure planned; the last detail is getting them from "here" to "there." A common player reaction is:

"We get there..."
"No? ... Okay, then we ride for 10 days and we get there ..."

There's no need to give in when coming up with a map that shows the way is so easy.

iG's second World Maker project, the "Instant Map Maker," builds detailed terrains at the push of a button.

The map maker places mountains, hills, valleys, lakes, rivers,swamps, forest, grasslands, scrub-lands, deserts, stoney-barrens, wastelands, villages, cities, roads, trails on a color-coded hex map. The map maker will also make sligtly less detailed maps, with a few mistakes thrown in, suitable for giving to your players!
