Well it looks nice, it strikes me as hard to use as an actual game table.
At best I could see it used for war gaming and even that might be difficult.

I'm tempted to do the same thing. The way my 3d terrain system works, it would take next to no effort to move it aside to consult the tablecloth if need be.

Well I guess we now know how the Forgotten realms geography got screwed up in 4ed... AO through a dinner party for the other overgods and thought he had a really cool idea for the dinning table! The entire population Amn is lying dead on your dinning room floor Jeremy!


On a more serious note what did you print the map on?

Boy oh boy do I wish that was mine, but it is not.

I pulled the link in the OP from the top of this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/dndnext/comments/3qqfsk/the_artist_prints_from_mike_schley_werent_quite

While I'm here, check out this overlay of Schley's SCAG map on the North American continent, with help from Google Earth: http://www.autogenerated.com/2015/10/nerdy-mapping-fun-with-faerun-and.html?m=1

I've wondered about the deal he struck with WotC.

I'm guessing it's similar to what freelance artists working for WotC can do, which appears to be having the option to sell their artwork, either as prints or the originals.

I've seen Magic the Gathering artwork for sale online, and if I remember correctly Wayne Reynolds originals for sale back in 2007 at the Gen Con art dealers room.

Awesome idea. It would be cool to have some for larger cities like Waterdeep and Calimport.

I see what you did there.

In related news, I belched so hard that Chult became an island.

I can get this printed on white tarpaulin where I live for about 20 dollars as a 10' x 8' print but I'm trying to work out where I would put it if I did so.
Cheers
