I'm planning on using the Donjon Sphere (from the Book of Many Things) in my campaign. Now that I've had a chance to examine it closely, I think there might be an error in the map of the sphere.
Above the map, the text says, "The area described in this map is spherical; hallways leading off one edge of the map connect to other hallways on the opposite side." Okay, that makes sense; it's kind of like playing Pac-Man, where if you go off one side of the map you appear on the other. And the map is consistent with this on the north-south axis; for instance, Area 6 (at the top) leads to Area 13 (at the bottom), and vice versa. However, it doesn't seem to work in the east-west axis. On the right (east) side, there are no exits at all. On the left (west) side, there are two exits, one from 11 and the other from 7. And weirdly, the labels on the map indicate that these lead to each other. That's not consistent with the text I quoted earlier, and it doesn't make sense in geometrical terms.
Is this an error, or is there some other explanation for this bit of weirdness?
