I suppose that's been my solution too. My games have been local, with some rather abstract travel at long distances.
Now I need those things to make sense (Empire is waging war, and I have PC:s in important positions in my game) so I'll have to start crunching the numbers.
If there's something helpful from the Issaries staff or the Glorantha community, I'd be very grateful.
Let's solve this problem. We just have to work out a sensible scale for the maps.
How big does the empire need to be to feel right, and be home for it's teeming 10 million?
How big should Genertela be? There's a map of the whole inner world in RQ-2 book (is it anywhere on the net?) How big is the inner world really?
