If Shane and "the Johns" are willing to help out on this, I'd be willing to
accept some feedback from them.

A mix of both - essentially the plan is to have a map of North America that
people can click on to zoom into different sections of the Wasted West.
These sub-sections would have more detail, including nuked cities, intact
highways, and other places of interest.  Clicking on the place would bring
up a pop-up window of the place with a short blurb, point history, and
Librarian comments on it.  Users would have the option of clicking on a
print button to bring up a printable map of the area along with the blurbs
of the different locations on the map. On each zoom level there would also
be a "Marshall map" that would have Marshall-only secret areas on it - I was
thinking of making it password-protected, but if posse members REALLY want
that info, they can just flip to the Marshall section of any of the books
anyways!  :-)

There seems to be a good response on this - I guess I'll get started on this
after I get back from GenCon!

Cheers!
