How do DMs here rate the Fantastic Locations series against the random encounter chart packaged with the FR DM's screen? For example, if you are running an adventure in the Fields of the Dead is Fields of Ruin useful in your campaign, or do you prefer to use the random encounter chart and the "in the Forgotten Realms" section of the MM entries for random beasties?

The problem with the Fantastic Locations series is that too few of the maps have replay value. I like a couple of them, and have them all, but they're not the sort of thing I would use again and again.
Also, I profoundly dislike a lot of the Minis-related things that appear on the maps including the unfinished rooms but also the magic circles etc.... |
Fatalistically yours,
The Scrivener of Doom
"Each being has an eternal resting place that is chosen for him or her at the moment of creation. Life is a process of seeking that place and eternal rest. Existence is but a brief aberration in an eternity of death. Power, success, and joy are as transitory as weakness, failure, and misery. Only death is absolute, and then only at its appointed hour. Seek to bring order to the chaos of life, for in death there is finality and a fixedness of state. Be ready for death for it is at hand and uncompromising. Life should be prolonged only when it serves the greater cause of the death of the world. Undeath is not an escape or a reward; it is simply a duty of a chosen few who serve the Lord of the End of Everything." |

That's handy to know. I haven't seen any of the "maps," but if they are primarily room diagrams or small outdoor areas, the value of the things plummet in my estimation, at least for Realmsplay.

Using "Fantastic Locations"
