Episode 278: Maps and Info

Episode 278: Maps and Info

In this Episode Saul and Jolene answer a question proposed by listener Mike. He asked about maps. How much detail do you share with players when you give them a map. Saul and Jolene thought it was a good question to make an episode. Along with maps, Saul thought about how much general information do you share with players. Saul asked how much should you share with the players? Does what the character "knows" determine the amount of detail in Maps and Info? Jolene remembered a couple situations where placing or drawing a map gave more information than what just was on the map. One was in a D&D game another was in a Feng Shui game. Saul was the GM of both and realized that just by placing a map or drawing out a map or situation on a battlemat "tells" the players of a possible encounter.
