Tourist maps are unbelievably helpful for roleplaying games. They are simple
and easy to follow, and only have major points of interest marked out,
allowing you to fill the rest in with whatever you like. Also they're
usually pocket size and so easy to fit between the chips and the dice. The
more scanned in photos and maps the better. And an interview with someone
from Redmond would be funny. "You know, in Shadowrun, your town becomes a
stinking hellhole full of human cockroaches."

What I wouldn't mind seeing is a topographical map. I know there are hills in
Seattle somewhere...

As I recall (I was there almost 2 years ago), there is little else. I take
it that, like me, you're from a flat part of the world, and assume that
other parts are equally flat unless you're told otherwise, right? :)

I believe they seperate Bellevue from Renton (from my vague recolections of
reading New Seattle).

There are hills everywhere in Seattle. Most of our homes in Renton are built
on the hills while the businesses are springing up in the valleys. As for
Seattle, it is built on nothing but a series of hills.

I live on the side of a mountain, and I assumed Seattle was flat. Those
cyberskates are beginning to sound good. Miles of concrete on an angle.
