Not that I wouldn't want a map but one in this setting
makes a little less sense than it does for Weird West.
What exactly do people have to go on regarding maps?
MAYBE a junker would be able to build a plotter and/or
download it off the Net, or Librarians might have
mapped it out, maybe. Otherwise all you have to go on
in a world after the bombs and whatnot is old maps and
even they won't be too great. After 13 years of
looting and then protecting and reallocation of things
or adjusting locations to meet up with immovable
resources the twon is going to be different than what
is what like pre-Last War maps. Sure, maybe PEG
couldn't afford it, maybe they didn't want to afford
it, either way we have to look at what we got and if
we enjoy it, compensate the best we can for what
wasn't satiated. I'm all for asking politely for a
map. This little rant was originally just to point out
some possible in-game reasons why one wouldn't be
supplied. I apologize for that bit o' soapboxin'.
