No worries, mate.  I know people don't always have a lot to write about.  I'm just as happy as a quick couple lines so I know people are still invested than nothing at all.  Inspiration will strike when it is good and ready.  When it does, then we see the really good posts!  So keep doing what you're doing.

Earlier in my life I did a lot of study on battles, WWII in specific.  Military stuff and the things that make other things go boom were the things I liked.  As I grew up, I steadily become just as interested in the reasons for war.  I enjoy psychology and try to work what I know into my worlds and posts.  You guys haven't gotten to see a lot of NPCs yet but I've been busy fleshing people out.

Small note about maps; you guys wouldn't often have seen topographical maps in your lives.  In fact, you could have gone your whole life without seeing one.  The vast majority of maps are simply road maps showing which roads link to which towns with maybe some notes in between.  Mind you, I'm not taking your map away.  That kind of map would be extremely helpful for a bandit and you're just as likely as anybody to have one.
