Maps of Krynn

Hi everybody.
I've done 2 maps of Krynn (again). The first one is using the current map of Krynn, the second map is using the original map of Krynn from DL11.
Someone in the forums asked the question, "What is your favourite setting." These maps illustrate why no published product is a favourite setting of mine. Give it a few years and someone can come along and change the setting you have been playing in for 10/20/30 years. This is why there is no such thing as cannon in D&D. You can only have cannon if you have consistency.

These are gorgeous maps - great work! I can't honestly see much difference between the two.
Gorgeous work. I don't know which map I like more, the desolation of the first one, or the freshness of the second one.
I used to really like Dragonlance....until the Forgotten Realms came around.
For me, the definitive version has been for a lot of years the Trail Map one. Although even now when I first look at it, my mind wants to know where the hex grid is.
Have you looked at what they have over at Dragonlance Nexus? There is some good stuff there, a good place to waste some time.
The great thing about stories as opposed to real life, is that you can stop the world where ever you want to, and just be in that space until you're ready to move on. Or move back. I stopped reading those after Dragons of Summer Flame. I might get back into reading them at some point when I can't type or work a mouse anymore.
I stayed with Dragonlance even after Forgotten Realms. For the most part, I enjoyed the Dragonlance stories more, but enjoyed the overall world of Forgotten Realms more. Mostly probably due to all the maps and the lore that I could read about and point to a spot on the map I had pinned to the wall (blasphemy, I know, to damage them like that). That was also one of the things I really really liked about Karen Wynn Fonstad's works - that she had all the locations and paths people took, and all of that.
Back to Dragonlance, I know exactly where the Krynn Trail Map is (and got it out again after this thread started). Also due to this thread, I located my Time of the Dragon and Tales of the Lance boxed sets. I didn't get far enough to open them up though and spend some time with those maps. At least not yet. Somewhere around here I also have both of the Tasslehoff's Pouch(or whatever they are called) map sets. No idea what's even in them anymore.
Speaking of Time of the Dragon, did you ever do maps of Taladas?
I am going to need a bigger house to hang them all if I ever get around to framing and hanging all the maps I really enjoy spending time with.
