Google Maps for Gaming
Normally, I run game set in entirely fictional settings, and draw my own maps.
However, now I've started a "modern fantasy" game set on modern-day Earth and using the Scion RPG, and decided on using a custom Google Maps layer to pinpoint locations that were and are relevant to the campaign. This is a player-facing map, so they get to see it as well!
It's been quite fun to use this approach, and I am curious if anyone else has done this.
(Note: I am aware that there are also OpenStreetMap-based approaches, which I plan to investigate in due time. But right now, I am using what is familiar to me.
