Introduction

This is my second series of maps for an RPG (if you are curious the first was for Shining In The Darkness for the Genesis/Megadrive).  This time around I have chosen to do a more recent/popular release.

I had ignored the Dragon Warrior series initially and focused on playing the Final Fantasy series.  I didn't know what I was missing until they released Dragon Warrior 1 & 2 for the gameboy colour.

Using the maps

When you call up the maps you will see a series of squares with the layout of the town, castle or dungeon on it.  Each square represents one pace you character can take.  The maps themselves are layed out like this
