Once again many thanks to all the contributors here! Especially the maps create great immersion and look fantastic.
I've a quick question: Am I right that B. Watford's maps of the Hookmountain clanhold are on the wrong 1 square = 5ftx5ft scale and that the map by GustavoMalek fix that problem for me?
Thanks in advance.
Ruyan.
Anybody?
Yeah, it looks like Watford's map is drawn about the same as the map in HMM - where the scale is 1 square is 10'.
I didn't find that following them map precisely was that much of an issue or important, I just made stuff fit on the battlemat so that it felt BIG and was close to the layout in the module.
I'm not sure what you mean by "on the wrong 1 square = 5x5ft scale", but I'd go with the GustavoMalek maps. They're lower resolution (30px to the five foot square) but the design is much nicer and you get a single image with the full map in it.
Well, in AE the map scale says 1 sq = 10 ft., thus I believe to get the right dimensions, you would need to enlarge B. Watford's map by the factor of 2.
As I've printed them my plan was to reveal them room by room to the players and I was concerned that the scale of the maps favors the PCs since they're medium sized but the giants get stuck/need to squeeze.
Thanks for your answers, Lorax and Tinalles.

RuyanVe, my map is in the correct scale and follows the exact pattern of the dungeon from the book.
If you want to print, here is a bigger version with grid (1 square = 5ftx5ft):

Dammit, the link of the map above was in low resolution. Here is the real thing:
Map - Hook Mountain Clanhold 106x68 squares with grid
Many thanks, GustavoMalek!
I already downloaded the map/file and will see how to best print it.

Runelords,
I'd love to get some feedback on this map of Sandpoint NPCs I put together.

Runelords,

Nice. Although I'm not a Runelord myself (but I play one occasionally), I can just say I wish I had this two years ago. Awesome job.

Hi Runelords Risen. I am working my party through Burnt Offerings and your work could not have shown up at a better time! I had pieces of the face deck cards you referenced strewn about but your compilation+ means I can introduce more of Sandpoint to my party at any point and more efficiently. Thank you so very much for sharing this. It is now hung as a reference for me on my GM Screen as my PCs move about Sandpoint.
Glad you like it!

The Ultimate Rise of the Runelords Sandpoint Map v3
Hey GMs!
I've updated the Sandpoint NPC map I shared recently. Check it out!
Design Goals:
• Show all Sandpoint NPCs on the map in the locations they are most likely to be found.
• Put a face to the name (using cannon sources when possible)
• Color coding of Race/Ethnicity.
• Super Hi-Rez for poster printing (5783 × 7595).
• Will print at 8.5 x 11 and be mostly readable.
All image sources are from Piazo. Sandpoint Poster Map + Face Card Decks: Rise of the Runelords, Enemies, Urban NPCs, Friends & Foes, Dungeon Dwellers
@Runelord Risen... v3 is the BOMB! For me. No problems or complaints on my end. Thx Much! :-)

I'm working on building some of the more popular buildings in Sandpoint in The Sims 3 to give my players a cool visual aid. (And because I'm hooked on Sims atm.) I know I'm going to build The Rusty Dragon and the Sandpoint Cathedral. Any ideas/requests for any of the other locations? I was considering the Glassworks, if I can figure out how to do the glass ovens.
Sorry to break the trend on awesome maps, but I'm finally getting around to posting the haunts for Foxglove Manor I'd written up for my game. Enjoy!
The way I intended this to play out is that, after the haunt activates, the PC is given the handout, and reads through it. They then make whatever roll the handout requires, and if they are affected by it, it tells them what will happen next. The intent is to give that PC the opportunity to experience a part of the story for themselves, and then tell the story to the rest of the party - much the way I figure it would play out if this were a movie.
** spoiler omitted **...
I have a question your worried wife and dance of ruin write ups are the same did you ever repost the Dance of Ruin?

my group is on their way to skull's crossing. so I did my map for C6 Ogre Demolition Crew today and though I'd share the gridless Version with you.

Wonderful work Hythlodeus! Love it! The other version we had was actually the very first map I remember making for RotRL. It was awe-full! Glad to see such and improved version. Thank you!
I just made a "newspaper" page for the Skinsaw Murders, but can not find how to post it here.

This is just great! I wish I had this map three years ago when we started RotRL...
preparing the Stone Giant attack on Sandpoint right now.
Over the next few day, I'll be making maps for the events in that encounter. I started with Scarnetti Manor: http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4498/ob4dnjs7_jpg.htm

It has been about a year so I figured it was time to update the map list. At some point one of us needs to do the same for all the awesome non-map info in this thread. New pastebin {url=http://pastebin.com/6n9Z5FYH]HERE[/url]
Many of these links are from THIS thread. I have linked the super high resolution versions. You may need to resize them to make them work for you, or you can download the lower res versions in the thread above.
By the way Hythlodeus, you may want to take a look at the maps in there for the Stone Giant Attack. I was particularly proud of the one I made for Scarnetti Manor (blatant bragging I know...), but some of the others I made were not my best work. I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Ah, sorry, I didn't see them. They all look great. If I don't find the time to do all of the maps, for those areas I don't have a chance to do myself, I'll definatley use yours.
Anyway here is the finished version of Scarnetti Manor since I didn't like how my first version looked.
I was working on the Sandpoint Garrison today, based on a blown up version of the Sanpoint map. I'm not exactly happy how that turned out either, but I have only a week left until I *might* have to use them and a lot of maps to make until then. So this will be it, I guess.
These are great! Super useful and really well done. Players are just starting RotR, (some have done it before, but whatever) and session 0 went swimmingly.
Hey, If i wanted to print these maps, (particularly the GlassWorks one) how big would I need to make the paper to get the 1-inch-square grid that the players could put their pawns on?
Also, to contriboot, I always thought that Nualia would have been better as an Anti-Pali, so I stat'd her as one.

Not strictly speaking part of the Runelords campaign, but I created this to add spice to my players experience of Magnimar towards the end of Book 2 of Runelords. It's in a village I created just south of Magmimar.
I had my players visit it with a few Magnimar nobles to talk politics, intrigue and unpick the mystery of the killings within the city. But mostly it was to add some colour, have fun with role play and give my players the feeling that they were moving up in the world, getting to dine at a very fancy restaurant. You could use it for a fun dinner with Ironbriar as he tries to suss them out, or other selected nobles from the Magnimar, City of Monuments guide by Paizo (which I highly recommend).
FYI it's closely based on the real world restaurant The Fat Duck in the UK.

I second this as I can't find it either...Hey all
Someone put together a document detailing every NPC but I lost it when my laptop died. Does anyone know which page of this thread it's on?
Thanks
If it was 'every NPC in Sandpoint' there's several I've seen. This is the one I did. I've not seen 'every NPC' for the whole campaign done by anyone, that would be a beast.
This post is very useful. I'm using all the material for my ROtRL adventure.
Thank to all that contributed.

I made a Wheel o the Year to help my players understand the passage of time and the seasons, so they could interact more with the Golarion calendar and its meaning in the setting.
I thought it would be interesting to share it with the community.
Absalom Reckoning - Wheel of the Year (Versions in English and Portuguese)
That looks nice! :)
I ended up just using the English month names, and saying that Golarion's special names for them was just from an older language.
By the way, if I ever run it again (I currently have two different groups going through it), I plan on having the festival/goblin attack be sometime during the summer. That allows for more down-time between Books 1, 2, and 3 for those groups who need more role-playing immersion in Sandpoint, Magnimar, etc., yet allows for Book 2 to happen in the autumn (for suitably creepy surroundings) and Book 3 during late autumn/winter (for suitably cold travel hazards to "train" the players to think more carefully when it comes to travel in Book 6 and parts of Book 5).
