An RPG Resource Review:
This product consists of two poster maps, done to the usual high standard we've come to expect from 0one Games. The first is quite unusual, at full size it is 25.5" x 11" and depicts the city as a 3-dimensional image - imagine you are standing on a hill at a distance with the city laid out before you. It is provided as a single sheet for those lucky souls who have access to printers capable of dealing with it, and as 3 normal pages for those of us who make do with an ordinary colour printer and some sticky tape. It really gives a good feel for the city, making more conventional maps come alive, and would look good on the wall especially if you are running adventures in the city!
The second poster is the more conventional top-down "Bird's eye view" map, in a poster of 25.5" X 22 or as six ordinary sheets to stick together. Again, its lush colours allow the imagination to run riot, if this popped up in Google Earth somewhere you would believe it!
In both posters, you have the option of displaying various information such as a map key, text or a compass rose; or just leaving the map to speak for itself. While neither of these maps are as convenient for actual gaming as other mapsets of the Great City, they are too beautiful to ignore.
