I stopped in at the copy shop to print off the images. They look fantastic printed out, and I can't wait to begin using them.
Here's hoping your group will stay a step or two ahead of mine… ; )
The snowman map was a delight. I told them "someone made this and it was so cute I had to use it!" Well, the group had apparently been hit by a Wisdom Drain or something because TWO of the PCs approached the Snowman and were hit by its scream. At which point the three Medium-sized Ice Elementals (which I upgraded the encounter to be as the group's at 3rd-4th level)) proceeded to do a number on the group. I easily could have killed a PC if I'd tried (instead I had one elemental switch to a different foe because that foe hit it for half of its hit points - logical switch, and it nearly killed THAT PC with two hard hits!)
Amusingly enough, the battle never actually took place in the rest of the map. The Elementals came onto land to go after the two stunned PCs and didn't bother trying to draw them into the icy river. Even more amusingly when they realized I wanted to have them walk across and show me their path? They immediately remembered the story of the kid falling through the ice, moved 50 feet down river, crossed THERE, and then moved back to the trail. Thus bypassing the weakened ice. ^^;;
So thank you again for the map. :)
I'll be using the Soulbound Guardian map tomorrow. Thanks!
Your map was a big hit. I only revealed a small portion at a time, since their visibility was 40 feet at the time due to the snow. The whole party was engaged, standing over the maze of ice blocks trying to decide where to go next.
I look forward to using the rest of the maps!

I'm planning on shredding some paper and spreading it over the maps to simulate the snow. When we get to the portal it will cover everything; I can simply brush it aside as they move and cover up their path as they go.

That's a cool idea.
...although now I'm thinking about doing it with mints, and allowing players to eat their way in...

If only I could guarantee that the shreds stayed on the table (we have a puppy and a cat that eat anything)... That's such a great idea.
Can't wait to use your Winter Portal map tomorrow!

Bwatford, I really enjoy your maps, please keep up the great work. I don't do Paypal, but if you assign some products to a wishlist under your profile, i will fund some gaming stuff as a thank you!
Never used the wishlist feature. How do I add items to it?
Go under Paizo Store and next to where you add a PDF copy or Print copy to your Shopping Cart, there is an option to List this Item. You can add it to a wishlist.
Others can buy it for you now as a gift and it ships to your address instead of theirs.
Thanks, adding a few things.... and thanks for wanting to contribute.
Np. You have to select a address for the products to be sent to; it is not shown publicly.
Thought that would default since I've ordered so many times. Lol I added it.
There you go! Ty from the community for all your time and efforts, and for sharing with all of us!
Thank you so much for doing this! Finally maps that can be useful that don't need me to draw them out!
@Swashbucklersdc
Thanks for the items, arrived today....
Welcome! Keep up the good work!

These maps are extremely awesome. We'll be starting in about three weeks and I'm pleased that I'll be able to use these maps in my game. I'm just hoping your game stays ahead of mine so I can keep leeching from your superior skills.
Once I get a bit more money I may have to do this whole buy something off your wishlist thing.

Just downloaded it and looked at it and it is correct. The PDF's layout in a 3 across x 2 down format (Six Pages)
1 2 3
4 5 6
Everything matches up. What are you getting that is wrong?

Woot! Looking forward to the new maps!
Thanks for all the work you have done with the maps. I really like how they look and I'm planning on using atleast some of them. There is one problem with them for me though, the grid is not dark enough. I know dark grid over the map is not all that pretty to look at, but when gathered around the table it really makes it much easier when even those players who can't stand right next to the battlemap can still see in which squares they and their enemies are.
I'll keep that in mind. It is hard to find the right balance between too dark and too light with the grids. Let me ask, are you printing in color or b&w? On inkjet or laser? I ask because I may hve some tips for you on getting better printing results.
I print mine on everyday glossy photo paper (about $12 for 100 sheets) I set my inkjet printer settings to premium photo paper and the grids come out good except for a few instances where there is a lot of shadow close by.
Using them for d20Pro VTT and they are just awesome. I'm still having to create encounter maps for the random stuff between the Paizo maps that these improve, but I love the higher quality maps that you have provided. Can't wait to see the next round! :)
Working on The Howlings from book 2 now. It is a huge map. Gonna be about 6 sections (maps) I believe.

In that case I will give you a small preview of the gate area for the howlings I am working on....
Of course it is not finished yet but you can see the style of the buildings etc for the map.

Im using Inkjet printer and printing in color. Ive been using highest/best result settings but ive been printing on regular glossy paper you might see in everyday offices, not one meant for photos.
This is what I use...

I don't use my laser because frankly it eats the hell out some ink.... I have a Brother HL-3070CW
My inkjet however I use after market ink on and it works perfect.

Hey all, I just thought I'd share my own VTT map for Snows of Summer. I'm running a variant of the first book with 6 PCs so I increased the encounter size at the lodge. In doing so, I created a small encampment of tents outside of the lodge where conscripts to the men inside can be found. I had to recreate the map by hand in doing so, using all manner of map and texture assets. The lodge itself was redone by hand to match the floor layout. Everything was put together in photoshop.
Hope you all enjoy!

Any news on this? It's really been the icing on the AP cake and set the mood perfectly in the first book.
Gorgeous work!

I just wanted to thank you again for your awesome maps. I have them printed and taped together now. I rolled each of them and secured them with a rubber band and they really feel like maps now. My players were really excited and impressed. It really makes a difference compared tio whatever crap I draw on the battlegrid.
You da best!
Just printed and assembled some of these (and donated - thanks for the work).
How do people use these?
Do you reveal the whole thing, or, somehow, hide parts of the maps? If so, how do you do this?
Thanks a lot for doing these! I'm about to run Reign of Winter and we use a vertical LED monitor for a VT and these will help immensely!
