Naviguessing

I am not planning to play Pirates of the Burning Sea--my new-MMORPG heart belongs to Age of Conan¹--but I have to say that this map is awesome.  It claims to be on "parchment", which I rather doubt, but parchment-like paper is also quite cool and it's neat to have a map that follows the feel of the game so nicely while still providing useful information (something most other game-maps singularly fail to do).

1: Not that it matters, since I know the laptop won't run² AoC and I doubt it'll handle Pirates either.

2: Most clever thing about the design of WoW?  You can be pretty sure your machine will run it.  You can have the coolest, most perfect, most customized-for-me-personally gameplay in the world and it won't make a lick of difference³ if my machine won't run the game.  Plus all those photorealistic graphics fall into the uncanny valley fairly easily.

3: Two words: nuclear fucking weapons...wait, sorry, Dennis Leary attack.
