    During the R26 Post-Mortem, it was mentioned that the cloth map will have only the game-related towns on it. What are the chances of making a nice paper map, one that includes the POTs too, available for purchase, perhaps at Relics By Rild? And the option to have said map in a laminated version for a few dollars more. It wouldn't be cloth and it would have more towns on it, so technically, it wouldn't be the same map as the reward....just a thought.

    There's a lot of POT's... That would have to be pretty big map to keep everything from overlapping wouldn't it?
    Besides.... POT's come and go, to some degree. Or have name changes.
    Don't think it's practical.... sorry. :(

    I agree it's somewhat impractical (especially since Port doesn't dictate anything about the POTs), but you could always go to a print shop and make a physical copy of @Birko's really awesome map :D

    Edit: Also, @Winfield also has some nice markups of the maps too

    Don't go to a print shop yet. Wait for Persistence.
    I'll try to find the time to post a tiled version that can be printed at A3 or A4, so as you can do a dummy version at home.
    Jakub White's SOTA Map is amazing and interactive.
    I'm concentrating more on the side of doing a poster, so it's more graphical but innate.

    Technically, printing on cloth really limits the resolution - making fine text illegible.
    That probably means that a cloth map will only show the basic regions and cities.
    Player owned towns number over 200, and would only be legible if printed on a bed sheet.
    I'll make a file for that available at a later date. Maybe Rild will do a home wares linen collection.

    (Rild, that is a joke. Don't even get an Ikea of a thought of doing it!)
