Default Re: A disc map

Well, yes, I like Pratchett's novels a lot.
If you check the map provinces names, a few of them are obviously Pratchett inspired (Ankh, Howonda, Morpork), but there are quite a few coming from Leiber's Fafhrd novels and two (Gont and Roke) from Le Guin's Earthsea (these are magic-rich, btw).
I was in part inspired by Pratchett, but mostly by the fact I dislike maps with corners. Wrap around maps correct that but I think that wrapping around is ugly, so I wanted a map with some chokepoints and no corners, hence this map.
