Wow, it's bigger than I thought! So, if Kobayashi is moored in the small
cove at the very southern end of N0W6, and Llewelyn and friends are in the
bay at the northern end of the realm, there's probably a good 15-20 miles
between us. That's cool.
It's going to take a long damn time to explore this island, isn't it. Heh.

| (...) I just got off the phone with Craig Hamilton, and here is how we measured the map: 1 Realm (segment of the isle) = 32 x 32 Acres (not REAL acres) = 128 x 128 Baseplates = 32 x 32 Studs. As you can see, we have the size of the island down to (...) (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)
