What a childish tactic!
Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!

Now time for me to share:



One of the common instructions for *world games is to make maps but to leave blanks, we wanted to do that for Spirit of 77's fictional location "The City". I did it by emulating the the 1970's redesign of the New York Subway map. The interesting thing about the New York Subway map is that it's not geographically accurate, it is only relatively accurate to the subway stations (which confused a lot of people when it was introduced). So it solves our problem of leaving blanks and makes for a really interesting way to look at the city.
We were originally going to have these printed poster sized for a backer reward but we didn't reach the necessary stretch goal.

This was a brilliant idea on how to do the map.
