Randall Munroe was kind enough to think of us when writing his latest flowchart.

Thank you for posting this. I didn't know xkcd and totally love it.

Did laugh a lot with the "Did you make it [the map] yourself?" -> "Yes" -> "It's very nice" -> "Thank you" branch.

Also, was surprised to see Redwall as part of this "list" of imaginary worlds: Middle-Earth, Narnia and Discworld are more mainstream, so to say. But didn't think Redwall was. Probably a branch with Westeros would have been a great addendum, too.

I very much appreciated that. It's always nice to get a compliment. ( )

Also fun was the whole "Are you sure it's a map?" tangent, along with the mouseover text. Then I started thinking about ways to do banshees in TOR...

Yeah, that was a neat diversion. Of course, Redwall's been out for a long time now and he did something like 20 different books so it might be a bit better known that one might think.

It did call to mind the idea that maybe it'd be fun to do one for Middle-earth proper. You could have things like "Does the Shire exist? yes/no" and "Minas Ithil/Minas Morgul", etc.

It was my first thought too, and I'm sure why he started with it.
