Storm King's Lack of Player Map

I just noticed this, and I actually didn't even think of it till after I had already used the map.  The Swordcoast map provided is a GM map.  Yet is used as a player map for some reason.  It has every single location listed.  It could be forgiven but it has things like the location of the oracle. Why is this on the map?  I don't believe these locations are suppose to be known and be of common knowledge.  It seems like it could ruin the game if they just said "Hey this sounds cool, let's go there!". The map as is contains spoilers and possible chapter advancement before theyre suppose to happen.  There should be a player map AND a GM map.  This is pretty clearly an error as looking at the guy who made the map, he has the ACTUAL version available for $10.  Which looks like I have to buy that map in order to play this as it was meant to be.  Pretty big oversight.  I feel like I should be getting a $10 dollar credit. Harshnag is suppose to take the characters to the Eye of the All Father and gives a map to the PCs for the locations of the Giant Lords, but they're both already on the map....
A spoiler free version of the map is available on the Wizards site&nbsp; <a href="http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/map-faer%C3%BCn" rel="nofollow">http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/map-faer%C3%BCn</a>
Ya thanks, I noticed that map, but also noticed how inaccurate WOTC's own map is.&nbsp; It's missing rivers, roads, lakes, and other things but I guess this will have to fill in for it.

Everything that is in the roll20 module is what was provided to roll20. The person that created the roll20 version left nothing out (as far as I know). This is the&nbsp; Storm King's Thunder bug thread so you can read through it and see if anything was posted about it in that thread. The easiest way (unless they solved it in the thread) to solve your problem is do what Ed suggested and just download the player's map off the Wizard's site and upload it to roll20 then you can use it.

The module contains all material from the officially published Storm King's Thunder book. The book does not include a player map, therefore it isn't included in the purchase of the module.

I realize everything was included in the module, but who ever put it together for Roll20 didn't even give any consideration to the fact that this is Roll20.&nbsp; Not a dining room table in regards to the map.&nbsp; Not only that but it is placed as a PLAYER map by whoever made this for Roll20, when it is in fact not.&nbsp; It's not a bug or a technical issue but it's just a huge oversight.&nbsp; If they expect people to buy this stuff it should have some consideration that this is a virtual table top.&nbsp; Especially at the price they're selling it.&nbsp; The book can be bought for $30ish, this module is $50 on roll20.&nbsp; I expect that difference to be made up by the effort people put into creating this for Roll20, including correctly adapting it . I think it's well worth pointing this out for FUTURE editions of Roll20 adaptations that don't put any consideration toward this fact that it's a VTT not a real table top.&nbsp; I also want to point out it's almost $20 cheaper on Fantasy Grounds VTT, if ROLL20 is going to charge an extra $20 it better cover every inch of ground.&nbsp; Actually it's on SALE $26.24, for VTT Fantasy Grounds. Since Roll20 is RETAILING this product at FULL value I pretty much hold them heavily responsible.

Hate to double post after myself but I've created a map everyone can use in the mean time. <a href="http://imgur.com/a/cpWm5" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/a/cpWm5</a> I'll just link town names and the POI dot in separate images I wanted players to look for things as well.&nbsp; Guess I'll go back and fill out all the information on the new locations listed as well. I could use help with the map if anyone is interested in helping out, I just need to figure out what all should be on the map.&nbsp; I was thinking of just having PNG files you could drop on the map for when you discover those locations, but I still need to figure out everything that's missing.&nbsp; I also have to figure out all the locations that have no info in SKT so I can write them out. I know I still have to add trails and roads, so I'll update this later (its turkey day).&nbsp; So far I've only completed the North cause that's where I am in my campaign.&nbsp; Added the trails and Bryn Shander for instance. I actually left off most of the towns, kind of want the thrill of discovery involved.&nbsp; However I added all the trails because clearly marked paths where people have been walking for who knows how long seems like a great way to discover other locations.
