The Maps

These maps have been made internally consistent, adopting the most detailed shapes and positions of each element.

  • Art — the printed style from 1987’s GAZ1 Legend, with additional symbols from the 1981-1987 maps.
  • Fonts — Feinen made its debut this year, dominating the Gazetteer maps. Helvetica continued to be the go-to typeface for adventure modules. Century Schoolbook also made its Mystara debut, as the standard font for Dungeon Magazine maps. And there was a last cameo appearance from Libra BT.
No other font is more iconic to Mystara than Feinen.
