Here are two possible ways to do this..
A) Simply make the maps, so you can right click mini-map/ click F9 whenever you're underground
More preferably:
B) Create them, but make them purchasable.. and you could open them like scrolls, although they would be able to rot, and, as items, could be lost/stolen
Underground/dungeon maps

@ Original Proposal: I don't really see the point. "Hey let me walk through a place full of dangerous beings, draw it and sell it to other people who want maps of places full of dangerous beings.
The Graveyard isn't meant to be a tourist resort.

Huh?
Rule "keep each character's knowledge separate" but a map seems more for a player and not necessarily ig... I have been told my chars could exchange maps if needed... due to lost files etc. ages ago.
As for original proposal: Get a char to take you to the graveyard, much more fun.
I don't see why a character should suddenly have visited all the places another character has. I'd say its illegal based on the 'no information sharing' policy. But I'm not a GM.MoonDust wrote:I wouldn't be so sure, grandmaster Abela.Hadrian_Abela wrote:Yes. Yes it is.maryday wrote:((Hm, is that against the rules?))
Okay let's put it this way.
Illarion has so many landmarks that oocly you won't forget where things are anyway, I know the entire map off by heart and I'm sure every experienced player does too.
So what is the difference between displaying (or not displaying) something that is really already there? The client panel isn't IC, you're typing and commands are the only things IC. If you want to RP not knowing where the graveyard is, you can do that right?

So your argument is "Its impossible to not remember" ?
While I agree with most of your statements - you're not going to forget where Trollsbane is for example, remembering the path to the dragon in the cave, or other 'mazes' isn't something you're going to remember (unless you have it written down or PGed a lot).
The counter-argument of course, is that "If you know where everything is, you don't need the map"

Yeah there's nothing in Illarion that's hard to remember. I can probably do the irundar water puzzle blindfolded.
On my first week I saw someone selling map files to people. Seems perfectly fine rp to me, it's just a map that your character holds, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to copy one out and sell it to someone.
