I love maps. I always have. Part of what got me hooked on gaming as a youth was the maps from RPG modules (D&D, Top Secret, Boot Hill, and Gangbusters). D&D even gave you charts of symbols to use in making your own maps. This later helped build my interest in architecture in high school.
Even today, some of my favorite games are those that have interesting maps – like Heroclix and Horrorclix and I still like drawing floorplans of my house. Especially when planning possible upgrades or even working out furniture layouts.
Next week, I'll post up my reminisces of RPGs. I was going to do it soon anyways, but with all the D & D in the air it just helped move it forward.
