Mike's World: The Forsaken Wilderness Beyond

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

MIKE'S WORLD: THE FORSAKEN WILDERNESS BEYOND expands on the fantasy world first introduced in Gary Gygax's dungeon module B2: THE KEEP ON THE BORDERLANDS. If you have ever wondered what perilous lands further surround the Keep, this is the book for you.

MIKE'S WORLD includes 14 hand-drawn wilderness maps of war-torn lands with details of their monstrous denizens, ancient ruins, eldritch mysteries, and more. It is perfect for all levels of campaign play and for both complete novices as well as for those who have played for decades.

DETAILS, PLEASE?

This book was made with Moldvay/Cook's 1981 Dungeons & Dragons rules, but it can easily be used with other versions of the game.

WHAT IT IS NOT:

This world is not for collecting, not for reading, not for gazing at, and not for displaying on your coffee table. It has no art, no stylish formatting, no production values at all. If you aren't going to use and abuse this in a game, there's no reason to buy it.

WHAT IT IS:

The word for this is FUN. This is the world you could have made when you were 12 years old, but were too lazy. There are no long-winded histories, complicated calendars, detailed weather charts, intricate genealogies, complex pantheons, or anything of the sort. This is a no-nonsense campaign setting for playing D&D.

YOU CAN PREVIEW ALL 32 PAGES.

You read that right. You can freely preview every single page of this book. It's like you're flipping through this in a bookstore before you make your decision to buy.

Fight on!

The combined map pdf that is attached here is extremely low resolution, and not very usable.

I Disagree sir these are some top tier pencil maps and for that it has great style and art. currently waiting on my printed version i decided to use Gimp to cut out each map and stitch them together. i even added the KOTB map, mostly to see if they fit together, and im really impressed with your map making! any way if you want a copy i got the Mega bites at 9.39 and i have added and scaled the missing map. Id love for it to be added free by me to the PDF!
P.S. i can remove the KOTB map as well.

Steve, thank you for your kind words. I'd love to have copies of the map you stitched together, both the one with and the one without the KOTB map. I don't see why I couldn't add the latter version of your map to the PDF for free. :)

Geoffrey, the resolution of the combined map in the PDF is much smaller compared to the individual ones in the main text. Would it be possible to keep the same high resolution in the combined file? That way we could zoom in and still get all the detail.

Good news: The front cover has been added to the PDF. :)

I ordered both the PDF and the softcover. The PDF does not include the cover, so there's no way to know how the maps fit together. Some note on each map edge saying "to wilderness map 5" (or whatever) would have been extremely helpful, as otherwise you're left to take your best guess.

I assume the softcover will include the cover, but right now I am left waiting for it to arrive. For folks who bought only the PDF? Guess they're out of luck.

Agreed that the cover should be included. To tide you over in the interim, they appear to hang together like this:

01-02-03-04-05

B2-06-07-08-09

10-11-12-13-14

I have now added the front cover to the PDF, and the print version does indeed include the cover. And Kevin is correct about how the maps fit together. :)

This is awesome, but ... why does the pdf not include the cover? It shows how all the maps hang together, so it would be nice to have (admittedly it's not that complicated, but still).

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
