Started playing Basic D&D in... 78? 79? Moved to RQII the next year, played RQII for 2-3 years, a little D&D and CoC in college, then after a long gap, Pendragon Pass and then Hero Wars for several years, and now mostly D&D.
Besides RPGs I do some writing (Mostly SF-tinged fantasy) as a hobby, belong to several Toastmasters clubs, read a lot of pop history, and create Excel macros for $$$.

Is the "Burnt Map Fragment" on p 56 missing some content? The "Burnt Map Fragment Notes" box says that "scribes... added notes, scribbles, and thoughts upon it" but I don't see any thing like that on the image of the map in the PDF.
