I have worked with some sophisticated fractal mapping programs, but when it comes to designing a game world nothing quite gives me the same satisfaction as good old fashion graph paper. My dad used to take my blank sheets of graph paper to work at Ford Motor Company and run me off a few hundred blank copies of square graph. This graph paper came from The Armory around 1980 and was quite large. I pulled out the felt tip markers, look at the map of Middle Earth from J.R.R. Tolkien and The Map of Greyhawk by Gary Gygax and then tried to be original. Not bad for a 12 year old but the idea of naming my game world turned out to be much harder than anticipated. I called it Skone. Somehow naming my world after an English biscuit didn't seem so bad back then. I ran a number of 1st edition TSR adventures on this map including Vault of the Drow, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks and The Sinister Secret of the Salt Marsh. Yet I also created a number of original adventures here and started off the idea of an original campaign here. The stains are a chemical mixture of Coca Cola, Mountain Dew, pizza grease and drow blood.
