I had this thought a few years ago but it's taken me until today to act on it.
I just got a DK Eyewitness Travel guide to Poland. It's packed with full color pictures of various [mostly] historic points of interest throughout Poland as well as detailed descriptions of most of those sites.
Anyway, I think that this is going to help me to add some more local colour to my game.
The Poland modules do a great job describing some key places but, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. There are plenty of sources of travel-related info on the web but a lot are in Polish and most of them focus on just a few select locales.
Obviously, there are a lot of paper-and-ink travel guides available. They make them for most countries with a tourism industry and for all 50 U.S. states. It really helps when the GM is "not from there".
You've probably thought of this before but I thought I would bring it up just in case.
