Blank Adventure Path maps?

Im thinking of running the Carrion Crown AP but Im wondering if there is somewhere I can get ahold of the maps in the book only without the room numbering?

The only way I know of is through the PDF, you can select the Map Images without the labeling since the Labeling is another layer.

What dragnmoon said.

You can select just the image in most Paizo PDFs (some early ones are all cut up and could be a lot of work). Paizo even loves you enough to keep the "key" markings on a different layer most of the time, so all your room numbers and secret doors will disappear.

From there it's simply a matter of printing it or dropping it in your favorite Virtual Tabletop app.

The tools for this may vary by OS, but on the mac I have found that Acrobat Reader 8 (no later!) is good, and if you don't want to spend hours pulling PDFs out of a whole AP volume you can find batch processing programs for this kind of task.

Reader 10 works to, but do not use 9, they took that ability out of 9 but added back in 10.

SomePDF Extractor works perfectly for that. (If I remember the name correctly)
You will end with a file containing a lot of junk from the layout of the pages but you can easily sort out the images you need.

For the record, Harrowstone's secret doors are on the image layer, so they will show up clear as day if you drop them in unaltered. I haven't tried Trial of the Beast yet.

Yup, the link is in my profile (click on my name above)

I'd like to take the time to point out that Paizo's PDF policy makes my VTT play style possible.

Other companies have less enlightened policies that limit my access to purchased pdfs; or they have chosen to stop releasing PDFs altogether.

So it deserves mentioning: we PDF-dependent customers love Paizo. Don't ever change.

Agreed!
