Old Maps

I love old maps.  Especially ones from the dawn of discovery when map makers had equal parts of skill, imagination and daring.  Sure I would not want one in my GPS car system, but for my game table?  Yes Please!

Cosfest X.2 (Day 1, Cosplay Photo Pimps 2 ! )

*EDIT: Updated with more photos below* I hope you guys liked the 2nd wave of Cosfest X.2 Event photos. See the first batch here.
