-Bruce "B" Munro is one of our long-standing American members. He is lauded as one of the best map makers and storytellers on the board. He has become famous for remaking the plots and premises of various existing works of fiction deemed "average", "lame" or "implausible" into highly detailed and much more realistic one-shot AH scenarios. All of them are accompanied by excellently crafted AH maps of the global sitation at one specific historical stage of a given scenario.+Bruce "B" Munro is one of our long-standing [[USA|American]] members. He is lauded as one of the best map makers and storytellers on the board.

 +Bruce's maps are unique because in technical terms they are very simple and the sort of thing one could do in MSPaint, yet they are so well executed that they are sometimes more impressive than a piece of grand photoshoppery. His trademark snarky sense of humour also comes out in his captions and annotations for them. 
 + 
 +His map style has become popular enough that it is widely imitated, and people often refer to taking an older map and [[resources:colour it whatever you like|"B_Munro-ising it"]] into his format.
