This pdf from Interaction Point Gamesis 36 pages long, 1 page front cover, 1 page editorial/ToC, 1 page SRD and 1 page back cover, leaving 32 pages of content, so what is this setting of Interaction Point Games about?
Recently there was a discussion about maps and I found very interesting people’s takes on maps and on the need and purpose of maps in role playing games. This is my take on them.
Kickstarter is responsible for many things nowadays. More and more, small publishers and game designers in the USA are turning to that site to realise their projects and bring them to life. Azamar has been one of those projects that was successfully funded. From the start Azamar promised great things and from the offset looked gorgeous.

Oh, it can be nice at first, because everyone can easily figure their background, but eventually it gets dull. Why not start out with a new beginning?
