What products have a good map of Augustana in them?

Who brings a dinosaur to a bar fight?

The winner.

The Loser

Every Edition suffers the Rise and Fall syndrome...
Older editions stall..New Editions come out with small editions changes, everyone jumps on new edition Bandwagon buying same product line with changes..cycle repeats.

It is hard to keep interest in a singular product line forever.

Companies who refuse to change suffer.

Maps are a weak point of their product line. Customers are wanting High Res versions of maps to use online. Online is where most of the action is these days, or Digital display is used at even the Table. But they are not providing them. People are wanting 1"=5' "official" maps and they are not providing them. Digital allows rapid Mini use without slowing down game to draw out a Map as you go

Many GMs don't homebrew settings so This type of product line is hard to support in regards to Adventure Path users. Adventure Path GMs are only interested in a straight line from start to finish.

There are a few tavern/pub flipmats that might work, however. My buddy got me the bigger tavern for Christmas and I've already got the waterfront pub as well. With this, I intend to incorporate both into our CoCT campaign in some fashion.

I just make my own these days.

Shame it doesn't come with 1"=5' Scaled Maps :(

Congrats to everyone.

Huge = What size?

I fully suspect that #19 will be, at least in part, a Starfinder issue. Paizo should have enough official campaign setting material out by then for us to get fans to write to.

Also, I think we've sorta have to wait and see if Starfinder is covered under the CUP.... ;-)

I hope not...

Just wanted to say thank you for the print copy of #17.

Love it

loved the art that accompanied my article also

The Dundjinni forums are dying due to Unstability and a New Reliable forum is in the Works

Many of the Original Users hang out at https://www.cartographersguild.com

and we are around several facebook groups
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1510397315867964/

Some of us have deviantart pages also.

Not much if the is a dire crocodile farm down the road.

Problem with RPG Games. Everyone's gotta have a written Rule or Forum Says.

Who is a Layer..Who plays on on TV?
And what is a Layer?

Why Not commission art?

How many of us have wanted a good source of printing out 1"=5' Battle Maps.

Usually don't endorse to Many Kick starters

But I an constantly looking to find a cheap way to print out maps.

Back at your own risk

Questions?

Do these sound packs require the Syrinscape Player?

They be used forever once downloaded?

make one

I am homebrewing a Campaign which started with The Dragon's Demand..

Dragons are returning to the Realms and there may be a need for Dragon slayers.

My PCs are now Dragon Slayers of Nazilli and have granted the Ruins of Nazilli as their base.

First task...Explore the ruins and restore the city

WHERE DID YOU FIND THESE!?

I searched all over this site for those, and ended up wasting money on the first two Wrath of the Righteous PDFs because I THOUGHT they would come with the interactive maps. :(

Search feature :)

I just wish the AP maps were of a native resolution (when copy-pasting from the PDF) so that the X and Y of each grid cell is consistent, rather than X axis having say 2px gridlines and Y axis having 3px gridlines. It leads to tons of scaling problems when dropping them in VGT's.

That is because Most Maps are Drawn and then a Grid is inserted.

Most are not drawn to a scale..They draw what looks good to them

I am not hear to tattle tale on people, but if Someone from the Company wanted to look, all you have to do is look at the Links in many of the posts going back years..I don't see them leading to a Page with any Disclaimer of any sort. Many simply lead to Cloud storage

Quality Standards are subjective...
As A Customer I must say that I am Highly disappoint in the Quality of Maps produced for Adventure Paths and Stand alone moduals in PDFS when Blown up for use in VTTs or Digitally displayed on a Monitor..Very Blurry. While we don't always play directly on the Map, we do use them very very often to let players look at. "What's that blurry brown thing right there?" Especially when High Res Files can be produced
As a GM/Player I hate round walls, and even diagonal Walls because basically they are hard to reproduce on Hand-drawn Battle Maps and Minis can't be utilized in Non full Squares..

Would I be willing to learn how to do better Circular walls..possibly...but...why bother..I don't like them. I don't use them in my Maps as a general rule

As for Stopping Making them..No you never said "stop" but....Well 95% of them I will never ever ever use..a Waste of my time. I would rather sit around making original generic Maps which I don't have to worry about making sure a disclaimer is Worded precisely right or making Maps for 3rd Party Publishers providing High RES Maps for their Customers and Getting paid. Charity only gets you so far in life.

If I ever do need them...I can make then in little or no time. I won't have to worry about no disclaimer. I don't have to worry about storing them somewhere..And I can change what ever I want on them.

Took a look at Many of the other Fan provided Maps...cough cough...I must be blind because I don't see something.

Instead I will just concentrate on my own Maps to sale and on Commissions from 3rd party publishers.

Several have asked for sample Maps and are looking to provide both VTT Battle Maps and 600 DPI versions of Maps with their products.

Seems that the response is always the Same when people ask for VTT Maps ....Cut and Paste from PDF and a blind eye gets turned.

Even Told Paizo I have no problem letting them distribute the maps but naw....they don't wanna do that either.

Deleted

I'll delete them all ...
ain't worth the trouble trying top help the community

I believe they exist within each PDF (can't check at the moment), just not as a separate package.

Please clarify..

None of the Adventure Paths PDFS I have seen have included Interactive Maps. You just get the Standard Maps..None have been interactive.

Currently 11 Available

Would love to see an "Interactive Atlas" similar to you know who's from yester years.

Myself..Nice Big Quality Poster sized travel maps..to be framed later

Quality smaller player travel maps...

Scaled Battle Maps are always a +

JPSTOD, you do need to follow the policy and use its language precisely everywhere you're distributing work based on our IP.

Do I have to have it written on each map or on the Posting?

Also, one user says that you have a package of maps from The Harrowing that appear to be our maps with the labels stripped out. If that is the case, please cease distributing them immediately.

Removed

You know if Paizo provided 1"=5' Scaled Maps in VTT (50/72 DPI) and DIY Printable (300/600 DPI) Grid and NonGrid Versions all this could be avoided....

:) :) :) :) :)

and
if they have a Forum for Maps it would make it easier to share here instead of people having to google around the web to find usable maps

I recreate the Maps as close as possible to the Original layout as possible.

(Sorry I can't do Good Circular walls and I tend to remodel rooms to eliminate Diagonals, as those 1/2 Squares tend to be hard to use with minis). I use Art From Dundjinni and Campaign Cartographer Art packs.

I use Campaign Cartographer 3/Campaign Cartographer 3+

I have never required anyone to make any payment nor a Donation in order to access any Recreated Paizo Map...Any and All Maps recreated are shared freely with anyone who wishes to use them. I also do not change any Quality for people who donate. If I make a 72 and a 300 or 600 DPI version everyone gets access to those files. I don't just give the higher resolution to the person who sent the Money.

I will try and always make at least a 72 DPI grid and Non grid version of the maps to be used in VTT in PNG Format and a 300 or 600 Grid and Nongrid for people wanting to print out.

I have Posted the Maps on several Sites ...Cartographer's Guild and on Deviantart and "No Payment or Donation" has ever been required in order to view or Download. Any and All Maps recreated based on the Paizo Maps are accessible to anyone free of charge.

The Maps I produce as the Wayward Traveler are 100% my own Concept nor do I claim they are Pathfinder or Paizo products, but since I made a whole $21 last year on Sales I may just make them free from now on also.

Every Where I post the files I do tell people that they are based on the Work of the Original Cartographers and credit them. And I do tell people what Paizo Product they are made for.

Maps are recreated entirely on my spare time and I will try and recreate them in order of request. Maps I need come first as I need them

JPSTOD, have you looked at the Ironfang books yet? =)

Sorry...No

Many thanks to JPSTOD for working on this - there will be a gift card in your future, good sir! Was there a particular one you would want, or just a generic Visa/MC/AMEX work for you?

Pathfinder gift cards :)

Your work is improving greatly over the last few months. Keep up the good work! :D

Thank you

Ummmm..
Hobgoblins attack Caravan..
Hobgoblins dump shiny worthless round metal things...carry off chests and crates

Yes I have.....Started working on the Maps....

Hell's Rebel
Book 1 In Hell's Shadow in the works
Soon to be posted on my Deviantart page

Cough...Cough
I do 1"=5'Battlemaps
Cough...Cough

I love how people always say the costs are "prohibitive"

No..it is a service they don't want to provide.
I don't have a New High Speed Computer and I can make a 50/72/300/600 DPI with and without grids

And I have offered to do them for Paizo Officially without charging them an Arm and a Leg...even for free.

check out my work at http://jpstodwftexas.deviantart.com/
If you need a specfic map let me know.

I had a FedEx Employee tell me I couldn't print out my own Map one time

sounds like 2017 will be the year of the 3rd party publishers

9th Level Fighter

+9/+4 +6 +3 +3
A fighter is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with all armor (heavy, light, and medium) and shields (including tower shields).
9th Level Cleric
+6/+1 +6 +3 +6
Clerics are proficient with all simple weapons, light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields). Clerics are also proficient with the favored weapon of their deities.

So Based on these "Core" class features Alone...
How many would take cleric over fighter if they did not have Divine Abilities?

Seriously, what the f#~# is the point of this line of questioning? It's entirely irrelevant to any aspect of this discussion.

Then why people keep responding...

My response stands if Clerics had no Divine Abilities they are merely Fighters...Only

Clerics are so much more than bandaid boxes.

What are they without Divine Healing?

Fighters :)

Ninth-Level spellcasters with ok BAB and HD, access to an incredibly versatile list of spells once you account for Domain Spells, cool superpowers based on which God you worship and having none of this negatively impacted by what armour you wear.

That's just what you can do without even thinking about Channelling or Spontaneous Cure Spells.

Slightly more impressive than a Fighter.

Made it on my First Submission....Hope everyone tries out the game I submitted...

A Way to use those Dice for a bit of "Character fun time" in a Tavern or even along the trail.

I really need to start submitting Locales with Maps

A question for those of you that have used either of these.

I run our home game through a projector pointing down at the tabletop.

Currently I have been using Syncrpg, a mod of Maptools to do this, but have been thinking about switching. Paying a few bucks to cut out hours of prep is worth it in my book.

So what one would work better for a projector?

What I do with Syncrpg is have a GM session on my laptop, with the projector showing a second copy of the program joined as a player.

Would be nice if Someone came up with an All in one..Offline Application.

I simply use my Projector and scale the Map to size in Windows Picture Viewer...since we use real minis no need for a program to do movement
