Secret Doors

[balerion160]

Is there a version of the interactive map pdfs that allows you to remove the secret door markers? It seems like it defeats the purpose of being able to remove map markers if there are still big white S's on the map that tell everyone exactly where secret door are. If my memory is correct, Rise of the Runelords let you remove the secret door markers.

I completely agree with you. The editor as Paizo really overlooked this error. Unfortunately, unless someone created their own version of those maps, you going to be out of luck. Paizo released only a single version of those maps and will not be going back to update them.

Isn't there a button to turn off the map tags in the interactive map PDF?

I just tried the button on the Underflume map in the AP-133 map PDF and the S's disappear.

Yes, those large white S's disappear, but look closely and you'll see small "secret doors" drawn on the map itself.

Ah, Ok. I didn't notice those before.

I did see that if you turn off both the map tags and the Player Grid, the small s's go away as well, but those "secret doors" are still obvious on the map, since they're part of the art.

In the past (before interactive maps, like Dungeon Magazine era, when you had to scam maps in), I'd do some image editing to make that look like a solid wall. That's probably the only remedy. I don't see Paizo revisiting these outside of a special edition. :|

It's even worse when you look at the maps in the last chapter.

SPOILERS!:

The secret doors in Alaznist's Demense are part of the art layer. The secret door markers are still there after removing the Map Tags and Grid. Same with Zinlun's Tomb.

The editors really missed the boat on this. I'm glad I used battle maps and miniatures when I ran this AP.
