I'm curious if Paizo is planning on offering the maps for the hardcover in a PDF format like the current issues of Dungeon Mag?
Where there is a players version of the maps with the secretdoors ect removed?
I'm not asking for a timeline I'm just curious if it is your intention to at somepoint.
The reason i'm asking is I play DnD exclusivly online and use copies of the maps as online battlemaps.
Obviously the DM's version requires alot of image editing to remove the traps room numbers ect,where as the current batch of Maps in the pdf format for each issue of drungeon are perfect to use with minimal Photoshop work on my part.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Hear hear!
I've asked this myself shortly after I received the book, and never got a response. I too would like to hear just a quick yea/nay from those in the know as to whether this is even on their list.
(Hell, send me the .pdf files, and I'll put the thing together for them.)
In another thread James said he was looking into a pdf with all the statblocks. (no promisees, though) Allas player maps are not in the stars. We'll have to make those ourselves I suppose. And post them om the SCAP resources page :-)
Holy moly - the group is already exceeding its download quota...
I'd be happy just to have electronic copies of the artwork I can show my players.

I joined the Yahoo group and will try to get some of my stuff up there over the weekend. To make a long story short, I'm taking a number of the maps, "Paint Shop Pro"-ing out all the secret doors and numbers, scaling them to 1-square = 1-inch and printing out color battlemats for miniatures.
No, I don't *think* I'm clinically insane.
Wait till you see both levels of the Lucky Monkey. :-)

I've started doing cleaning up the first few maps manually as well.
I'm not sure what resolution your using but i scanned these in at 300dpi the free 72dpi ones just got to blocky when blown up.so far i've got these ones finished ..let me know how they compare i'd love to pool our resources ..there are alot of maps to do if they're not going to be made available.

I'd be happy to help out with this as well. Do you need the extra hands? Maybe divide up the chapters and go from there?

I'm all for that!I'm currently working on Drakthar's Way I've finished the bathhouse and map1.
I've uploaded all the ones i've done so far to
http://www3.sympatico.ca/icebreaker/
The Yahoo SCresource group is overloaded atm so i'm just gonna post a link to this address on there for now,since i think i don't have an upload cap on that site(we'll find out anyways).
It looks like DM Jeff is working on Flood season
Perhaps you could start on Zenith Trajectory?
All I'd ask is you use 300dpi for scans if possible that way they'd all be the same resolution.
Great, sounds good. I'll let you know when they're done and I suppose I can send them to you for posting on your site. I'll scan at 300dpi and scale to 1 square = 1 inch and take off room numbers and secret doors as you mentioned.
Thanks for the great work! Having them at 1 inch per square (or 2 inch per square for the 10' maps) is a great idea, so they can be used directly as floorplans.
I scanned them in at 300 dpi. When they blow up to become floor plans, yes, they can get a *little* grainey, but overall when sitting at a table it's never noticed.
-DM Jeff
After scanning the image, I use a Blur effect (Gaussian Blur - set no higher than necessary) to remove the grain and blend the image. Then, if needed, use a Sharpen effect to bring back some of the edges. It'll look a whole lot better on screen and printed.
I uploaded your maps to www3.sympatico.ca/icebreaker, DM Jeff
as well i split it into 2 pieces and ran a moira reduction tool on it ..cleaned up quiet nice.
DM JEFF are you planning on working on the Kopru Ruins map?
I'm just wanting to make sure i don't work on the same map.
let me know either way
Icebreaker, I've had my hands tied up with building and managing the scap resources site for the past week and a half. Now that it is finishing up and needing less attention, I can get back to helping submit files to share. That was the point all along now wasn't it?
I'm still planning on doing Zenith Trajectory, unless you or someone else already has. I haven't seen the files posted to the group yet, though. Let me know.

Do you intend to upload the maps onto the SCAP Resource page? If not, how do we obtain them from you?
Sure I'll upload them. I looked for the page yesterday but couldn't find it. :)

Robert, if you could upload Vaprak's Voice to SCAPResources, I'd be mighty appreciative!
Post me a link and I will do it immediately. :)

I don't see anything waiting for approval. Are you sure that your uploads were successful? I know I approved your Chapter 6 Statblocks submission, Robert, but I haven't seen the maps.
Let me know if you are having trouble.
