For all these reasons, i assume such a map would take time, travel and research, and only a few reputed cartographer would produce such map. I think a good map of the world would be expensive as not everyone can draw a map, even less the size of a large world map, especially most notably with enought good accuracy. As for still getting lost, I think that is true cases like that would still occur but knowing my group they will argue "We have a map!" so that is where I need to think more and balance how much of a map is given to the players because that is a DM debate I could do without. I was just focused on this one map and the detail it gives wondering if something that information would be expensive or not. You made some good points here things I had not considered. You could always have them roll to use the map if need be. You still have to be able to read the map and that takes some degree of skill. ![]() Just because they have a map doesn't guarantee they are never going to get lost. So while by no means cheap, I don't think it would be extorionately expensive.Īs for your second question, you don't have to lock yourself in. If a map was too expensive, then being a merchant or trader wouldn't be viable, so people wouldn't do it. In a world without Google Maps or the internet, most people are going to need a map to navigate, whether that be sailors travelling the seas or merchants moving their good around. To my mind, something like a common map would not be that expensive out of necessity. ![]() I think this is one of those subjective things that depends on the world you are creating as a DM, or if an existing world, your intepretation.
