Missing flipmap

[IceBear4334]

Hello,

I have a quick question. What do I do if I am missing a map for society play. I am running intro to shattered sanctuaries and I am thought I had the tavern multipack but I don't. Is it ok to use a substitute like Haunted house of example? I unfortunately don't have anything to draw the map on otherwise I would do that.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This kind of thing can happen, and yeah Haunted House is not a terrible substitution, just try to be super careful where you put the enemies to not make it harder.

spoiler for the scenario you mentioned:

Try to make sure that the light conditions are similar to how they would be compared to the actual map when the door is open - though I have never seen that matter overly much every time someone just cast light from their wayfinder.

If you need an inexpensive map, HERE is what I do.

In these situations I take an extra careful look at how the encounter is written, because sometimes they really do something specific with the terrain to set up a tactical situation. But most of the time, it's really more there as decor and the details don't matter super much. One tavern or another, doesn't make a huge difference.

As for drawing, you can of course use blank flipmats to draw on. But I personally prefer flipover paper with grid. The grid is usually in inches and slightly bigger than a typical flipmat, so you know it'll fit.

Advantage is that you don't have to erase it to re-use the blank flipmat, and can re-use your drawing if running the scenario again. Or if you need to make a lot of maps and they don't all fit on one flipmat.
