Alan’s Island of Lost Dreams

Alan’s B10 maps included all of the major maps from the module. While this one may at first look to be a simple conversion, in fact it is quite radically different from the original. Instead of producing a simple replica, he reinterpreted parts of it to make the island a lot more interesting.

Additions

• None.

Revisions

• Coasts — Alan reinterpreted the original map, turning the forest’s outline into the coast of the island. In doing so, he added a lot of fine detail to the coast, including small bays and even a few small islands. It’s almost as if the water level of the lake had risen compared to the original. Due to this process, the original map’s cliffs were discarded.
• Forest — As with his other Karameikos maps, Alan only marked in the edges of the forest. Unfortunately, in this case it makes it look like the island only has forests around its coast, which is different from the original map.
