Description
“This book is produced to aid Fantasy Gaming Judges in the record-keeping chores of an active campaign and also to assist in the publication of their material.” – Pg. 2.
This Dungeons & Dragons resource was published by the Judges Guild of Decatur, Illinois, in 1980. It offers the Judge (a.k.a. Dungeon Master) a convenient method for mapping important elements of one or more campaigns. Dozens of pages offer blank map grids in four different styles, allowing for diverse scenarios and situations. Opposite each map is a detailed, standardized key and blank space for record-keeping.
Founded in Decatur in 1976 by Bob Bledsaw and Bill Owen, Judges Guild quickly became a prominent third-party publisher for the early Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) role-playing game. They are best known for creating some of the first and most influential campaign settings, notably the massive Wilderlands of High Fantasy and the popular City-State of the Invincible Overlord. The company declined in the mid-1980s as TSR, the creators of D&D, ended their third-party licensing program, but the legacy of Judges Guild has been kept alive through re-releases and adaptations of its classic products by various other publishers and partners.
