(Currently a tie between the Podcast and Zine Map~)

I looked for map references and fell back on Avenza again: they really are a valuable vintage map resource. Cannot recommend highly enough. (Also their digital maps are georeferenced!) They don't have geological maps, but they do have a few styles of world maps. I'm going to hop back into SSkies to get a better idea of where the climates, orientations, and geological formations are~

#maps #I swear I'm not paid by Avenza lol #I just really love their historical city maps #I find the SSkies map style chosen by FBG to be genius #It's the best solution for showing a wide area with the illusion of being spherical (or maybe not spherical)#I love the idea of the Reach in particular being spherical though.#For the Blue Kingdom I'd be DELIGHTED to interpret the map as a mobius strip.#For the Reach #I'm going to treat the equator as the 50 equal-area pole and then convert it to two equal-angle maps like the bottom here #That's my interpretation for why you only have 'half' a hemisphere #I wonder if I could... plop this into QGIS and force it to equal-angle it... idek....#Not equal area #Azimuth projection sorry~ I'm used to lines on stereonets ^^"#We just call them equal angle and equal area; which I'm just learning is UTM and Azimuth projection in geographer-speak
