    Default Dr. Seuss Map?

    This seems like a huge and wild undertaking, so I shouldn't be surprised if it hasn't been done yet, but either my Google-Fu has utterly failed, or no one has attempted to map out all the fantastical locations mentioned in the Dr. Seuss books yet. The Kingdom of Didd, the Jungles of Jorn, Mt. Crumpet, etc. Has anyone taken a stab at this?

    Yikes! Thanks for the warning, johnvanvliet. I'll take a stab at it for a private Tabletop RPG I run, but it won't get the full treatment that the subject matter deserves. If I come up with anything worth your eyes, I'll post it here.

    As long as you create something for your personal use, and don't distribute it too much, you should be 100% safe.

    People are allowed to create from scratch, and especially when they make it for themselves.
