I've just started a new SR game set in Denver, and have realized just how useless the maps from the boxed set really are. The color map showing all the sectors has no details. The detail sector maps don't line up with each other so it's hard to get a sense of where you're looking at.

Does anyone have/know of an area map of Denver with the locations marked? Something like the online Seattle map posted here awile back would really rock.

On a related note: does anyone else think the zone defence force being made up of "loaner" troops from treaty nations just wouldn't work? I mean, the individual sectors already have thier "civilian" forces in place, so why would Ghostwalker invite overt military forces in? If he wanted an army of his own, wouldn't it make more sense to hire one outright, or even rent from a corp or merc unit like MET 2000?

The Box Set had a map that was seperate from the book that's quite useful (color coded by sector).

I've used it to get around town IRL when I didn't have any other map- it's pretty good.

I ordered a laminated map from a book store and then bought a permanent marker and drew on the sectors (course since Ghostwalker came I would have to change that). It takes a bit of time to work out where the borders run just from the descriptions in the book but it is possible.

It is also useful as I can then use non-permanent markers to annotate the map for specific adventures.

Until you hit downtown, the sectors make more or less sense. They go out like spokes from the central area, which was Aztlan's claim. While there is the -large- map of downtown, wihch is somewhat uncomprehensable, there was also a second map that showed the landmass of Denver. It was in full-color (the same way as the CalFree map), and the pictures in the individual chapters of the Denver player's book were taken from this.

As for figuring out Downtown: The itty-bitty bottom strip, where the government buildings are, are in the Aztlan sector. On the remaining 3 sides are parts of the CAS sector itself. The downtown area is divided on a diagonal between the Sioux in the North, and UCAS on the South. The map is generally -really- good at showing the highlights of the city.

If you don't have access to the Denver source material, Shadows of North America has a re-printing of the map, with the new buildings of importance labeled, and the rebuilt government facilities shown... Just remember that the entirety of Aztlan got grabbed by the CAS.

On a side note: I've got unfettered access to the Sioux and Aztlan sectors (lot of good that does me now... ).. Anyone have other sector cards they'd be willing to part with?

Just remember....

There are no walls in Denver!

Well yah, now that Ghostwalker decided to give himself a dust bath...

Pretty much any good bookstore like Borders or Barnes & Noble should have a good tourist map of Denver you can use for street outlay. Just make a few adjustments for the corp faciliites.

I've got my residency pass for CAS in my wallet ready and waiting for the Treaty of Denver. I think I've lost my 24 pass to Aztlan though...

I always thought the maps in the Denver set were pretty good personally. But if you want something better, do what everyone's saying and buy a map from a bookstore or travel agency and grab some markers.

The Abstruse One

But then you have to go through the bother of the whole training process. Much easier to just use some loaners and subvert them. All you have to do is make your governence look more enlightened and that youactually give a stuff about the residents compared to their own governments.
