mayapuppies Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hello all, I am going to be in need of a map of a large roadside Inn of about three stories with a stable. I'd prefer the maps to be of the sort of tiles that Paizo and WotC put out and was wondering if anyone knows of where I might be able to order some? The Inn is going to play a central role in the campaign so I really want a quality set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odraude Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Re: Map Tiles While they aren't tiles, these are reusable battlemats which you can draw on using water-based markers (dont use red though, trust me). May help. http://www.chessex.com/mats/Battlemats_Megamats.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curufea Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Re: Map Tiles I made a complete colour high resolution map of the Wickshine Inn if that is any use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a complete colour high resolution map of the Wickshine Inn if that is any use. I'd love to see that, though I'm not sure I'd be able to print it out for use.

AlHazred Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Re: Map Tiles There used to be a couple of free hex-grid map tile sites I liked, but I can't find my links currently. I'll have to check my folder at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking of generating a large sheet of equilateral triangle dots, getting it laminated, and using it as a battle map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curufea Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Re: Map Tiles Holy crap that is awesome! Any advice on how to get that printed out for use and on what paper? Sorry, no - I intended to use the maps for my online game, which now looks to never occur. I haven't experimented with printing them.

Nevenall Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Re: Map Tiles You know, in the past I've found some Harn-related sites that have very detailed maps and senarios for things like inns. I don't have the bookmarks any more but you might try a search for Harn materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prestidigitator Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Re: Map Tiles Hmm. Don't know, but I just realized if you had the Carcassonne board game, you could map out a pretty good villiage or city that would be usable with a little imagination. Hmm.
