Drawing maps - grid sizes?


Rise of the Runelords

Silver Crusade

So my campaign is finally meeting weekly again after about a month break for the December/January holiday vacations that everyone took. We're finally making progress into the meat of the story with the Glassworks last week and (hopefully) Catacombs of Wrath this week.

I usually draw maps on the blank fold out grids that are made by Paizo, which are 24x36 squares. In running Pathfinder Society adventures, I noticed that almost every map in their adventures fits on these, which I'm assuming is intentionally planned, especially given how many of them just happen to be exactly 24x36.

But I noticed that in Runelords, the Glassworks and Catacombs maps are both just slightly too big to fit on these grids, I think both of them by only 2 squares each. Is this going to be a recurring problem for me through most of the campaign? Do I really need to go out and by a bigger blank grid to draw on from another company to accommodate a lot of the maps in this adventure path?


You can probably compact the Catacombs by a few squares without issue, and you might not need to draw all of the Glassworks. You won't be able to fit even a quarter of the Fort Rannick map onto a 24x36 grid though - I'd change the scale of the map at that point and then have another grid which you can play the encounters on
