    EDIT - about 5 minutes after I posted this, I came across what I needed. So nevermind.

    After these, only 7 more maps to go!
    Given that I'm running the S and T maps tomorrow, this was perfect timing! Thanks, these have been an invaluable resource.

    Excellent, you've made the 3 maps that I really needed just before I needed them.

    Your timing is impeccable =D

    I just found these maps, and I desperately need them for my game. I have no idea how to print these things out to scale. Could anyone please tell me how to do this?

    Neon, you're the man.

    I have saved the files as PNG's with an image scale equvialent to their size. So for example, the map T3 (the one with the flesh walls and the purple goo), has a size of 18 inches by 18 inches. So, if you print it at scale, with no scaling down, it will print out as an 18 x 18 inch image with 1 inch squares.

    Welcome to the Guild! Looks like T4 will print properly at 72 dpi. It's 17" x 18", though, so you'll be printing more than one page. We generally recommend posterazor: http://posterazor.sourceforge.net/ for cutting up an image to be printed in sections.

    To determine scaling for a D&D map, count the number of squares in either direction (horizontal or vertical). View the properties of the image with the method of your choice—I like to view the image at full size in my browser, right-click, and choose "properties." Look for the image dimensions and note the pixel count in the dimension you chose to measure. The first number is horizontal pixels, and the second is vertical pixels. Since you know that a square is one inch to a side, it's as simply as dividing the number of pixels by the number of squares you counted, and that's the dpi (dots per inch) you need to print at.

    So, to use T4 as an example, I see that it is 18 squares wide, and the image dimensions are 1296 x 1223. The first number is the horizontal dimension, so 1296 pixels / 18 squares = 72 pixels / square. 1 square = 1 inch, so 72 pixels / inch. When printed, a pixel becomes a "dot," which means 72 dpi.
