Belloque, you know that ther are literally like 8 million tavern/inn maps out there right? I'm not sure if Paizo sponsors any of the third party sellers though. You could try DMsGuild which is the DnD sponsored place for third party stuff.
I'm here to ask if there is a place to gt an official floor layout for the Rusty Dragon, and other Sandpoint locations. I'd like to set up my own stule of VTT maps for all of the above before the party hits Sandpoint. I don't want to Hijack an illegal copy of Paizo trademark maps, though, I just want to see if there's something akin to a floor layout that I can try to replicate.
Nicolas mention a map being in the Sandpoint book though. I don't recall a map of the Rusty Dragon in there, but I'm not too lazy to thumb through it and check. ;)
At any rate, I'm aware of a handful of third party maps for other Sandpoint buildings, but I haven't located any official sources, for maps or layouts, of any other buildings yet.
IS there some sort of quasi-official d20pfsrd type resource for official maps / layouts??
Thanks so much if anybody can help!

what are you looking for?
Am I not explaining myself properly?
I would like a skeletonized version which represents the layout.
Think engineering blueprint.
I am looking for an outline from Paizo (or..?) which represents the official floor layout of various buildings around Sandpoint.
I want to make my own floor maps in my own style, for digital VTT use, not steal their artwork.

Paizo doesn't pay people to create blueprints. They pay people to create gridded maps that can be used for game play.
There are smaller versions of this map in the "Sandpoint" campaign setting book. There are various maps of locations where events take place during Adventure Paths. But they are all ready-for-play maps
If you want to draw your own maps, and have them be accurate depictions of of the layouts Paizo has designed, you'll have to buy the Paizo maps (or books) and, as Rysky says, reverse engineer them to suit your purpose.
There is no profit for Paizo in having someone create such blueprints. Most GMs want instantly playable maps so they don't have to draw them themselves so that's what Paizo makes.

Well, I just flipped the switch and went ahead and bought the official maps, since they're on sale anyway. Quite disappointed that there are no gridless versions. Every VTT that I am aware of is designed to use gridless maps, then superimpose the grid in the correct layout when needed. This GREATLY adds to the immersion of the VTT experience. Is there any way that we could get a gridless version??
If you guys DO publish gridless versions, kindly add something like rusty dragon inn-24x32.jpg (24x32) to the description to indicate the correct number of 5 foot squares. That's the industry standard, as I'm sure you know. Once people plug the map and that number in to their favorite flavor of VTT, they can superimpose their own grid whenever needed. :D
ALSO on my wishlist: One last 1st edition Humble Bundle with the handful of remaining core books and bestiary, then tier two could be all of the general Sandpoint guide books, and tier 3 could be the Rise of the Runelords Anniversary book and maps. :D
That's my beautiful dream, anyway. :D
