I was going to say that the map would be a passive agent until I read the Tempting Visions of Infinite Wealth 4W3 part of the mail - that is just so true!! I know my players would react that way - the map as a temptation is fantastic - I'll be using that in future. Thank you!

	It sounds as if the map is not just an augment to decision making
	characters -- it is an agent inside the gamespace, capable of
	independently (through dice randomizaion) of making "decisions" that
	affect other agents.  You could add new abilities to the map, hell
	you could have the map engage in contests against the PCs. 
	
	* Hidden Design 17 -- Mysterious patterns discretely embedded in the
	parchment show the route the map maker followed to sites of mystic
	power
	
	* Sinsiter Conspiracy 15 -- from time to time, the map directs the
	characters to locations where agents of a sinister conspiracy have
	been waiting for them
	
	* Tempting Visions of infinite Wealth 4W3 -- the map has seductive
	clues that suggest vast fortunes -- players must resist the ability
	or be distracted from current tasks.
