[Updated: 10/29/12] What Works, What Doesn't Work
Update: Thank you to [info]jealousheart, [info]erin, & [info]nympholepsy for your input. It was all very helpful and what I'm walking away with is that visuals + descriptions is what a typical Player is looking for or expects/wants to see.

Hello everyone!

I am currently working on a "map" for [info]havenwood and I'm curious what other players have found useful in games they have played in previously. Have you found a map-like visual helpful? Are they used often? Or, have you found that a locations/description page with images with a general representation of a place/building better, more useful, or more common?

Any suggestions would be appreciated and really, really helpful! :)

Depends on the type of game, but I love maps for displacement games, or games where people live close to each other, just to get a more visual idea about who your neighbors are. But I'm a very visual person, so any descriptions and pictures of the locations/maps I can get are helpful to me, and I have used both in my games before. Depending on the game, I might even go so far as to say that I'm more interested in a game if the mods do put the effort into maps/pictures, because it shows you've taken the time to really plan out where these characters live.
