Reason: Repurposed to use for links to various resources
Please let me know if/when you find errors with the maps. The tiles begin blend together after awhile!
If anyone has a good source for printer-friendly dungeon terrain that I can add in the map, please let me know! Also, I am using paint.net and have .pdn files for anyone interested.

Reason: Added some elements and rooms
Thanks, Hawke - did go over there and they some great resources. I need my maps to be printer-friendly, but I still found some textures over there! If anyone has a good source for fireplace/torch/brazier art, let me know! Thanks.
printing maps is not cheap and u need to glue them together ...
why dont u make an dry erase board and paint the map asu u progress in the dungeon its more fun and as dm you can let the pc paint the battle grid as the go :P
here are some photos from my homemade dry erase battle grid ( 1 m^2 of this stuff (dont know how its called ) cost in bauhaus or obi about 6 € ) get an waterproof marker and make an 1 inch grid on the surface, then use the dry erase markers to paint the map
Okay, the update (see post #2) now contains all of the elements for A1 - C3. Note that the brazier is still missing from C2a and I really don't like the fireplace in C3b.
No new rooms at this time; just added light sources to the existing rooms. I probably need to go completely black and white due to file size, but I'll hold off until the next major section is done.
Next up is the Horned Hold which should be interesting!
Someone made monster cards for KotS... any chance of doing that wonderful service for H2?
I have the MSE set they used for it, seeing as how I plan to run this adventure soon I can probably make cards for it. Check back soon for those, i got the day off from work today and nothing better to do

If anyone has links to high-resolution detail maps (e.g. using a map-making program) let me know and I will link them. Also, looking for handout maps of the various locations. Any H2 information/DM aids/resources are welcome !
Update #5 (see post #2) includes the room outlines for the Northern Fortress in The Horned Hold. I plan to complete the room/door outlines for the rest of the hold before going back to add detail.
Ive got about half the moster cards done at this point. This stuff took a lot longer to put in than i thought, and there are about 60 or so cards im gonna have to put in. Im getting there tho!

Thanks, Wonka - appreciate your tenacity! You're already halfway done - I am not 1/3 complete yet ... not that I'm bitter ...
Friendly reminder - if you have any Thunderspire links like maps (player/handout/battle mat/etc.), cards, items, player handouts, etc., post them here!
Update seven has been included (see post #2). This concludes the outline for Horned Hold - I will hopefully start adding detail to the rooms tomorrow!
Ok. Here is draft 1 of the monster cards, both the .mse file and a pdf zipped up. I didnt do any of the wandering monsters listed, nor any traps at this point. Look it over and let me know if anything is wrong. Obviously, dont look at these if you intend to PLAY the adventure
Maybe some more abbreviations / shortcuts on the text-heavy cards (the ones on the last page come to mine). And as a minor formatting gripe, I like the die 5/6 which are included in the TTF if it's the same one I have. I cranked the PDf up to 150% and still could barely read the text at a comfortable distance. Or maybe we need a double-height template for monsters with lots of abilities...
