Probably to the lower end based on my experience with Wild North which was 57 by 34.<br /><br />Making publishable adds considerable time as well probably another 10 hours.Robert Conleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863009007381185340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20485732.post-61814400316398623922011-05-11T13:23:15.689-05:002011-05-11T13:23:15.689-05:00First, thank you all for your responses. Feedback ...First, thank you all for your responses. Feedback is always appreciated.<br /><br />@Rob: Hammersong's Legacy was built on a 32x40 hex grid, given my Traveller upbringing. I was also fleshing it out for publication, so that made things a bit meatier, too.<br /><br />@ChicagoWiz: I would be honored if you wanted to use my distillation. If you come up with any handouts you can share, I'd love to see them.<br /><br />@Robert Fisher: I hope that this series of posts provides some help, or at least offers more insight for you to pick and choose from.<br /><br />With Regards,<br />FlynnFlynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661073420680953560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20485732.post-36316982704727642802011-05-11T10:09:11.798-05:002011-05-11T10:09:11.798-05:00Nice overview.

This is something I’ve been struggling with for years. “What do you need prepped before you’re ready to run?” Unfortunately, it looks—unsurprisingly—like one answer doesn’t fit all.<br /><br />Rob’s method, while filled with lots of good stuff, has always seemed overkill to me. Most of the others, however, often seem too minimalist for me. ChicagoWiz’s actually seems close to right for me.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733274876782876659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20485732.post-84786847612905128482011-05-11T08:53:00.760-05:002011-05-11T08:53:00.760-05:00Awesome!

BTW, it was kinda weird to see my approach distilled down - do you mind if I steal it word-for-word for future use in my workshops? I'll give you credit of course.Michael S/Chgowizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052820400496340137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20485732.post-23260385587229000122011-05-11T08:33:10.113-05:002011-05-11T08:33:10.113-05:00Good post.

I think I erred by not making it clear that 20 hours was for a region the size of my Points of Light maps. 8.5 by 11 with 5 mile hexes 3/8" making a 27 hex column by 19 hex row grid.<br /><br />Wild North in Fight On #3 which was a full Wilderland Size map of 57 columns by 38 rows took considerably longer. It gets geometrically worse the bigger the map.Robert Conleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863009007381185340noreply@blogger.com
