Stumbled upon this in a friend's Facebook feed today. I want to go on record right now and say that Greg and I had absolutely no knowledge of this product until today!

Ordered a wall map of the U.S. and a folded map of the U.K. immediately. No wall-map-love for the U.K., unfortunately.

Enjoy,

Well done. I once went to Unaffordable River Town. Nice place.

Just a note on using this for KAP names
I find many of the literal names not to my liking
for instance
Enclosure is a stumbly word at best
I don't use it, bu replace it with "camp" or something similar

Great find! I ordered it also... Some of the names are definitely a bit pedestrian. The Place of Enclosed Farm comes to mind ;D But it gives some neat food for thought.

Book of WARLORDS has 250 places named
most of them are settlements of no great consequences except to the landholder
but there are man that you could compare with the map and see what I've done
Mostly to spice them up
and get rid of all the Saxon names

To clarify, if it's not abundantly clear — the forthcoming Book of Warlords has 250 places named! We've not yet started production on the actual book, so it's still some months off, yet. But coming soonish!

KAP has no Wareham, Dorset
It is Weir Meadow, Dorsette
