But they don't get the whole map. *grin* Just one section of it, what they
can see around them. Rather than seeing the whole map, they see a 3x3 or
9x9 grid (*havent decided which yet*). They still have to explore, as a
matter of fact, IMHO there is more to explore because certain locations
(*cities and other special locations*) that are one character on the vmap
can be hundreds of rooms in and of themselves...
