Map for Wonders of the Weave Part II?


GM Discussion

3/5

If one were to run wonders of the weave Part II, is there a flip mat or map pack one could use in order to replicate the dungeon? I know I can use a blank mat and draw it on, I was just wondering if there was a map already available.

Nope, no flip mat for that. :/

When you draw it, make sure to note that its a 1sq=10ft scale.

ok thank you. this is my first time so how does a 1sq = 10ft scale to a 5 ft square? are they 2 5 ft squares longways, widthways, or does it somehow equate to 4 (5 ft) squares. or am i over-thinking this?

You are probably overthinking it a bit.

The normal conversion for playing at miniature scale is 1" = 5'. A standard battlemat uses 1" squares. So for a map drawn where one square = 10', use a 2x2 section of the battlemat per map square.

What Belafon said. So each 1x1 square on the scenario map will need to be 2x2 square on your drawn map.

Special note: the sleeping pallets. They are 1x1 square on the map. Sized for hill giants or for slumber parties? :P

I don't know how you guys are running this with a 1" = 10' scale. The 2-inch squares result in a map that is over 6.5' x 4' in size.

Are you running this scenario without minis?

Right, a $120 mat that I'd only use for this one scenario ever. And, surprise, this 80x64 map would not fit on a mondo-mat, which is "only" 102x54.

This map requires 4 46x32 megamats and would barely fit on two folding tables side-by-side (as would the mondo-mat).

So who has run this scenario on a properly-sized map, and how have they done it?

I made it work by offsetting a section. Had I not had this map, I would have drawn it as we went, on one or two basic flip mats

Thanks, drawing as needed is a good way to go.
