Perfect Set of Maps to Make Your Superdungeon Come to Life!

5/5

You get a set of 8 flip mats with one level of the Emerald Spire on each side for a total of sixteen levels of Emerald awesomeness. Whether you're planning to run the Emerald Spire live or online, you will need a set of these maps. It makes prep so much easier as all you have to do is drop it down and cover the hidden areas with construction paper for fog of war and you're all set!


The Maps Are Incredible

5/5

I think these maps are the best thing about The Emerald Spire, and that's saying something because the mega-dungeon itself is pretty awesome, too. My players love the detail and layout of these maps. They are a work of art!


Excellent value

5/5

I just unpacked the Emerald Spire maps. They're fantastic. Not the same thing over and over. Some levels seem to have traps or moving rooms. Some feature the emerald prominently, others barely at all. Useful to all GMs.


Superdungeon

5/5

Just have to say that I got these in today and they look great. Very happy with them and see endless possibilities for these maps in future campaigns. Great art and detail with each level can't wait to use them.

W00T! I've been waiting for this to pop up - pre-ordered! And then poverty for a while, though it's a good deal for so many maps. Hopefully the maps will stand up for individual use as well as with the Emerald Spire book itself.

Once again I really wish I'd been back playing tabletop games in time to learn of the Kickstarter... but I hadn't discovered either Pathfinder or Kickstarter by that point.

SUPER Dungeon MEGA Pack EXTRA 5000 TURBO EDITION!


What are the dimensions of the flipmats? Just curious how large the actual dungeon levels are in terms of total feet/squares, and not sure if there is a "standard" size for Paizo flipmats.

Scarab Sages

I hear they have the usual size.

Woohhooo, can't wait for this one. :)

The standard size for Pathfinder Flip-Mats is 24 by 30 inches.

Yep, this is 8 standard 24x30 inch flip maps, with 1 level of Emerald Spire on each side (16 levels total).


Pathfinder Adventure Path, Rulebook Subscriber

Oooooh ... I think I want these. (And the superdungeon HC module too of course). :)


I just want to be clear here... at 24x30 we're talking about each level of dungeon being no more than 120ft x 150ft. Or do these mats only cover a portion of each level? This is kind of a big chunk of change and there's a value-difference between "all the maps you need" and "highlighted ares of the dungeon".

Scarab Sages Modules Overlord

All of every dungeon level is covered on the maps. The level designers had 18,000 square feet to work with, and each designed his map within that limit. :)


Thank you Owen. Both for the answer and for the design choice. That makes the value worthwhile in my book, so I will be buying this.


I like this idea a lot, as it reminds me of the old boxed sets with huge map posters.

One of the things I like about megadungeons is the mapping and exploration aspect for PCs. Are the maps arranged in such a way that it's easy to the part of the dungeon the PCs are exploring without having to reveal the whole thing?


I just wish there wasn’t a limitation put on the dungeon levels to ‘fit on a flip mat’. I know it’s been discussed the expenses are more than you would like to create nice vinyl rolled maps, but what about something similar to the D&D tile sets? You could put out a set for one or two floors (depending on the size of the floor), but you wouldn’t need to limit a floor on a predetermined sized mat.

Something to think about at least (if you haven’t already).

Scarab Sages Modules Overlord

Wes Schneider just covered why this isn't really that different from every adventure project Paizo does. There are always constraints on size, or style, or page count.

Yes, I saw that Owen.

That's what I get for posting before I have coffee.

Fixed, thanks. :)


super stoked about this one I love maps and dungeon crawls and dungeon crawl map expecially ones I don't have to draw.

it would be cool to have two flip mats the work side by side too. maybe another special project. like the kick starter for rise of the Runelords the movie. Are just had another great idea you guys should make a movie for at least write one and have someone else make it.

Would be great to buy the print edition, but living in the UK and buying through Paizo.com and not from a UK based supplier, I'm going to have to pay more tax and extra money to the Post Office for the privilege. Unlike books, maps attract tax. Please look at getting a Paizo.com distribution network for Europe to be able to reduce costs in shipment?

Paizo has distributors in Europe, I think in UK it's Esdevium. You should be able to buy Paizo stuff through all major online gaming stores and perhaps also some brick and mortar ones. Also, amazon.co.uk and BookDepository (which is UK based) both carry Paizo products.


I think this one is a paizo.com exclusive, so online is likely to be the only option in this, specific case.

Paizo have been loathe to "outsource" their web store in the way you're suggesting, Deevor. As i understand it there were some serious issues back in the dragon/dungeon days with that kind of system and they got pretty badly burnt. Granted that was a while ago and the company is in a different place - maybe their position has shifted from "never again" to "maybe one day".

This is a Paizo exclusive, so I'm not expecting it to be available through the other channels, otherwise I'd be straight to BookDepository, though that's just my personal preference. But the channels you provided are indeed available to obtain most of the normal products.

I don't doubt you, but how did you know? If it's in the product description I'm missing it.

Probably due to the fact that it is catagorized under "Paizo Exclusives". :)

We don't necessarily say that things are exclusive in the product description. If you look at the "See Also" list under the product description, though, you can see all of the places in the store where this product is listed, and one of them is paizo.com exclusives.

Hmmm...I see it under Pathfinder® / Pathfinder Accessories / Pathfinder Maps / Flip-Mats.

But as I like you, I will refrain from pummeling you for your insolence. Carry on. ;-)

I leave the pummeling for when you run 13th Age for me.

Thanks for the tip. It might be helpful to put it in the product description, but I suppose that could be painful if an item's status ever changed.

I was only asking because I just finished grilling the owner of a FLGS over why they didn't have it. :)

Probably for the best. Tom says you're "scrappy" and could totally take me anyway. :P

Best way to get this was preorder it and be a subscriber of the maps when it shipped. Those people got the free PDF.

That doesn't seem particularly out of line for 16 .pdf flip-maps, considering most of the .pdf flip-maps are $10 each.


I agree it's a reasonable price, however it's technically eight flip mats rather than sixteen.

Dark Archive

I have two questions for the Paizo community:

1.) Do the maps show traps or secret doors?

2.) How do other GMs deal with the "fog of war"? (I was thinking of maybe black construction paper covering undiscovered rooms)

Technically it is 16 pdf maps that represent the 16 levels as found on the 8 printed sheets. ;-)


Yeah, I just meant for price comparisons its the same content as eight of the usual flip mats.

The $55 price tag compares well with 8x$9 but a casual reader might think its worth 16x$9 which is an overstatement of the discount.

Point taken. :-)


I was initially reluctant to pick the PDF version of these maps up since they're priced significantly higher than the module itself (which includes the map images) but I figured I'd bite the bullet. After extracting them and uploading them to Roll20, I have to say the multipack PDF is easily worth the money. The maps look absolutely gorgeous in full resolution!

Can't wait to let my players experience the TPK module! :D

A block of post-it notes will work pretty good and allow you to reveal and then put back on as they players go.

What's worked really well for us - if you want a simplistic solution - is two sheets of paper, technically the 'x' and the 'y' axis, slid back and forth as needed. Its not perfect but its very easy, very quick and gets the job done.

I too would be interested to know if the maps reveal the locations of secret doors and whatnot.

Liberty's Edge

How do flip-mats usually deal with things like secret doors/hallways/rooms?

I mean, I figure the normal flip-mats can probably get away with it by not having them at all, since they're often things like outdoors wilderness type things.

But dungeons have quite a bit of features that are initially hidden from the players. How do these flip-mats deal with them? Is it the same strategy? Do we have a 16 level superdungeon without hidden rooms?

This isn't exactly the same issue as fog of war, because with that, you're just hiding areas the players haven't been to at all. But what if you want to hide a "S" marker on a segment of wall that the players have seen. Do you just put a post-it note in that single square of wall? And isn't that a dead giveaway?

Sovereign Court

Usually they don't put any of the map markers on the flip mats (no S for secret door, no +/- from the clockwork level, etc.), Then all you have to do is use your favorite covering method to cover the secret passages outside of the room and you're set.

Liberty's Edge

Has anybody seen these flip-mats yet? Or the hardcover itself? Are there a lot of secret passages and how are they positioned on the dungeon levels? Do they look like they'd be difficult to cover or has some thought gone into putting them in places where they're easy to cover up?


The flip-mats are identical to the maps laid out in the Emerald Spire PDF/hardcover (which in turn are similar to the maps you'll find in adventure paths) except they don't have the "GM markers" on them - ie no room annotations, S for secret doors, outlines for traps and so on.

You'll probably want to use Post-its or sheets of paper to hide areas they haven't explored yet since it's otherwise hard "not" to metagame at least a little, but it's not an insurmountable task.

If you're thinking about the PDF version, the maps are the same maps that you can find on the first page of each dungeon level description in Emerald Spire (though again without GM markers), but at significantly higher resolution and image quality.


Have any of you who have bought the pdf version tried to print them out yourselves? How is the quality? I tried to print my scans from the superdungeon book (for personal use), but even with photoshop skills, the results were lackluster. I might as well draw on an empty map folio myself.

My local shop cannot order the pysical copy for me, and I think the shipping+taxes for the item would be too much for me (estimated 125USD).


The resolution is approximately 3600 x 4500 for the flip mat maps, while the images in the Emerald Spire PDF are ~ 1200 x 1500.

The image quality is similar to other PDF flip-mats - have you had any experience printing other flip-mats?

I have not. But any additional information you can provide would be appriciated.

I am leaning on buying the flipmat from this site, but the whole group will chip in this time. I wonder if this item has to be taxed in Norway or not. An addtional 20 usd is not a lot.
