It started with a letter...

[Straf]

That's it, a map that began with a letter. There are two options, free choice or Community Leaders choose the theme of the letter contents.

The letter could be a cry for help from a damsel in distress or an intercepted letter saying where a great treasure may be found. The map might even show the path that a letter has taken as it passes from port to port following a sailor. Maybe his sweetheart is writing to him to ask him to bring some Curly Wurlys home because the local Ye Olde Sweet Shoppe has run out.

The challenge must contain a letter, or part of a letter or be obviously and heavily influence by a letter.

Sounds quite fun, though I'd leave it open to the mapmaker to decide what the letter was about.

You and your curly wurlys. Everyone knows Double Deckers are the best!

Double Deckers give me toothache. Now Star Bars, there's a confection fit for a king!

That sounds like a great idea, Straf

I agree with ChickPea - the letter should really be down to the mapper.

I prefer a Mars bar or a Milky Way myself

My mind went to... a lowercase x traveling around with a little knapsack and a walking stick, with a small dashed line tracing its path.

Hahaha! You know, reading the precise criteria Straf wrote above, I don't see why that wouldn't work.

Plucky little x, from the rural village of y, goes off to fight dragon z and win his fortune...

I want this!

I was thinking more of a scarlet capital letter, but the principal was similar.
