Great Job on the maps, first of all!

I am looking to use these maps with my Saturday D&D group (if that's alright). I need some advice on getting them to print out to scale, though.

I realize this probably isn't the right place to post this (apologies), so if you don't have an answer, perhaps you could point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Thanx. You are welcome!

I am looking to use these maps with my Saturday D&D group (if that's alright). I need some advice on getting them to print out to scale, though.

Of course, the main reason I make them is for others to use!

As to printing, I have saved the maps all at 100% of scale, so if you print the map at 100%, the scale should be perfect. And by 100% of scale, it the map is an area 10 squares by 10 squares, or 10 inches x 10 inches, that is the size of the image, 10"x10".

Ah thanks for the prompt reply ^^

I can get some of the maps in a useable form, but I'm having trouble with the larger ones. (W-1 specifically)

Perhaps I should explain the depths of my ignorance. This is the first time I've ever tried printing out maps for the tabletop on my printer. Also I'm using the default program that opens the file (Windows Photo Gallery) There's probably a better program I could use...

Thanks for taking the time to help out a Newb ^^

I just use Paint (basic windows graphics program, under accessories in your start menu). Before printing it, I go to Page Setup, and set all the margins to .25 inches, to use most of the page, and then I tape all the pieces together.

Thanks! I'll try using Paint instead of CC2. I've been loading them into CC2 and trying to scale and tile them. Takes me trial and error to get the scaling correct. If I can just open the PNG files in Paint and print them at 100% instead of trying to force X by Y pages, that will be a big help!!

Does this work with the Pyramid of Shadows PNG files as well?
