At same time got some giant 17x22 8 squares per inch paper for the mother of all megadungeons. But then I got into <a href="http://trollandflame.blogspot.com/search/label/one%20page" rel="nofollow">One Page Dungeons</a>, so, don't know if I'll ever use it. Both are real nice paper, take ink well, pleasure to draw on. Worth the expense if enjoy the act of drawing.<br /><br />@Badmike<br />Unless I forget I'll bring it to NTRPG (disclaimer I'm forgetful). But, I don't think it's all that special. When I say "bad ass" I mean in relation to other stuff I've done, not in comparison to the real cartographic masters out there.<br /><br />@David <br />players don't get to see the map, I make a rough surface map on cheap, but large, and free* newsprint that they can use to draw their map on.<br /><br />* working for newspaper has its benefits.<br /><br /><br />I'll post more pics after big event and something about what I changed/borrowed from Hackmaster B2 and why. <br /><br />And thanks for the kind compliments.Norman J.

We could even display it (or make a copy of the original and display the copy)and hang it behind the registration desk or something if it was ok with you. It's definitely an inspiration!Badmikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199830751033032585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179649506981851979.post-90327662488537146902010-03-24T12:20:01.141-05:002010-03-24T12:20:01.141-05:00I have a program that lets you create any kind of ...I have a program that lets you create any kind of graph paper known to man. I scooped it off the interwebz like 10 years ago, can't remember where I got it but it's freeware. It including log, perspective, square, triangle, hex. There is a metric boatload of ways to customize to your heart's content and print what you need. The perspective looks like what you want.
