Ludicrous? Pfft. I've periodically had an idea -- and somewhere around here
I still have some preliminary sketches -- for fully-illustrated
flowchart-maps. That is, a map of the region covered by a given book, with
each section number positioned in a more or less geographically appropriate
location (with detailed insets for where multiple sections happen too close
together to be at the same scale as the rest of the map), plus little
illustrations (like you see on old maps or the colour ones from *The
Magnamund Companion*) to go with events at each location. I have neither
the artistic skill nor the persistence to have pulled this off so far, but
maybe some day...

Now *that's* ludicrous blue-skying. :-P
