I'd hoped to find a thread analogous to the one containing fan-created battle-maps, art, and player handouts in the Rise of the Runelords sub-folder, but I haven't found one (or possibly I've overlooked it). Can someone point me toward it if it exists?
I searched for similar thread and just found this one :(
Anyway, I want to share the maps I am making for my CotCT campaign. I'm using photoshop for them and "stealing" a lot of art from the Dundjinni community (they are soooo great). The campaign is being played with the help of Fantasy Grounds, and the maps are suited to what this program can deal with (100 ppp, and 100 px equal 5 feet), at least in my PC!
The maps are being hosted in rpgmapshare.com

Anyone here been using the Obsidian Portal website to track their gameplay? Our group has started using it for our various APs and it seems to be working fairly good.
For the Vivified Labyrinth in book 3, it would be REALLY nice to have 4 different maps (each with the different rotation layout). It would get rid of the throbbing headache I have since reading it years ago... lol
I created here the frame of the map (just walls and floor), and I will finish it later.
Ultradan, which chapter are you playing now? Are you playing the Arkona's Dungeon soon?
I have uploaded the Arkona Dungeon First Floor maps:
Original First Rotation Second Rotation Third Rotation
I have made these maps rather quickly, so please double check them before playing; it would be rather nice too if you post here the errors you find.
For those who are using the wonderfull combat manager : here is the complete list of the npc from the edge of anarchy part :

@Angelroble - Thank you for the maps of the Vivified Labyrinth!
It was most helpful because you included the Symbols in your mapping. I still had to look up the original map to see what rooms were numbered what, but it was invaluable as my party stumbled their way about.
Unfortunately for me, they rotated once, went as far up as they could go(disabling 3 symbols) then crammed back into wheel 1, rotated again, and went straight for Sivit. Then left the dungeon. All that after finding the hidden walls leading to the torture chamber of course.
I wish I had those generic maps available when I ran HoA, as I actually had scenarios set in both locations :(
This is fantastic work, angelroble, and if I ever get to run CotCt again, I will definitely be using your maps. Hopefully I'll work up the motivation to learn a VTT program by then, and can use them in conjunction with that.

I have been thinking in including the room numbers, but as I play with Fantasy Grounds VTT (and it has links from the map to the room description and encounters), I dont really need them. Maybe I could add the numbers to a key map, especially for difficult maps as the labyrinth.

I'm going to start on monday with CotCT and just found these maps of yours.
Wow! Just wow!
I'm going to the printers tomorrow to get the Fishery printed full size.
I do have a question though, the maps for All the World's Meat and Eels End don't use 1 inch = 1 square on the map. Is this on purpose?
Do I have to print at 200% or something like that?

Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks!
I'm sorry I have self learned photoshop just a few months ago and don't really master the resolution and size optimization. And neither I thought about printing the maps as I play with a virtual tabletop - Fantasy Grounds. So you will surely find lot of different printing sizes.
I have tried to keep the image size so 100 pixels equal a 5' square, but some maps were too large so there could be another problem here!
The printing size for those maps which you refer to is with a resolution of 100 dots per cm, so you should print them 2.54 times bigger. I would recommend you resize the image with photoshop (or gimp), so you don't get the pixels too big... sorry for not being more helpful
I have uploaded HERE
a PC sheet (pdf) I've designed for my CotCT campaign. As we mostly play by VTT, the sheet is not complete in details. It is also in Spanish. If someone really wants it, I can translate it and upload the MS Publisher document I use to create the sheet.
In the link above, there is also the pdf I share with my players with all the information about the campaign, including npcs, maps and session logs (updated by lazy players, so it's half filled). It's also in spanish, but I thought someone would like to have a look.
