Voting the fate of Shadizar's cartographer

[The King]

You hit the spot.
This is very sad because after all his Hyborian map is tremendous and it seems he is quite capable an artist (reading the posts of the rpg.net).
He must really be in very bad health to be a shadow of his former self.

as bear said on that thread while slow the work was beautiful and he did give us and the lone wolf guys some wonderful maps but now he has caused mongoose and us major headaches so lets hope that his replacement gives us the maps we love.

Does anyone know why there is no cartographer reference in Messantia.

There is an Awful big map in that box set too.

In this case where there is no noted wrong doing, I would just like to know as I purchase quite a few rpg products and really don't like looking at the messantia map, frankly it is just not to my taste and I would like to know who did it so that in future I can make an informed judgement on if I should purchase items theycontribute maps too.

I am not saying its anyones fault all I am saying is I dont like it

just like I like to know what kind of processser my pc has, is it an athlon or an Pentium, doesn't mean I will not buy a pc just maybe not if it has a component i dislike in it?

Does any of that make sense to anyone?

I'm suprised no one felt a little Pictish (or Iroquois) and went for the patented 'nail the end of the lower intestine to a tree, then walk your poor victim around the tree till their guts are wrapped around the tree, and they're presumablly dead via blood loss.' Cheerful uh? But on a more serious side, as a journalist and freelance writer, plagerism is some bad stuff, and while the maps he's done have been brillant, I wouldn't shed a tear if this artist got litigated into oblivian. I understand that he's had some personal problems, but be a man, step up and tell your employers that you can't fufill their contract and take the consequences, there's simply not an excuse for doing what he did.

yes it is as if cheating in a sport competition. Whatever the odds you have to be honorable and fair or you loose all respects.
