[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5198071, member: 50895"] [b]Soon to get a new site up - FreeRPGMaps.com[/b] As kind of an extension of this thread, and others like it on other forums I visit, I decided to create a new website, where I plan to post two free encounter scale maps each week, plus post free bonus material for my settings and adventures that I am publishing (or will be soon publishing). The site is going to be called Free RPG Maps, freeRPGmaps.com. It will have a Wordpress Blog where I will be posting each map with links to downloadable files. After the next map is uploaded, I will move the previous map into a gallery part of the site, which will contain all the maps provided overtime, and eventually be categorized by type, setting and style. It will be a free site, free signup, free maps content... The goal is to post only encounter scale maps, rather than other types, though the gallery may contain such maps in addition to those published each week. The site of course is intended to promote my other projects and my Gamer Printshop map printing service, and I might even place banner ads for other RPG companies/products. I've recently had an education on what makes a 4e map versus any other kind of map, and that includes lots of room for battles to move around, lots of pitfalls/cliffs and other terrain hazards, as well as multiple places bad guys are entering the fight area - these kinds of maps will be the majority or at least part of the goal in any map posted. Also most maps will be the photo-realistic with 3D elements style of map, though I will periodically post my hand-drawn style as well. Downloadable maps will be PDFs in full scale one piece map, letter size sliced version of the map, grayscale versions of each map, and especially for hand-drawn versions a b/w lineart version of the map. Also each map will be available with square grid, hex grid or no grid. Also an available file will be ready for use in several Virtual Terrain apps. Another thought is to create unlabeled village, town, regional and continental maps - then offer a fee paid service to place labels as per an individual GM's desires to better match a home-brew campaign. I say the site should up and ready by the end of next week (perhaps I'm just being hopeful - I'm not a coder, but doing all the design/code work). The site will be working with Wordpress blog, Forum, Gallery suite, and perhaps a Wiki down the road to host my Kaidan setting gazetteer, and other projects. Is this something worth doing?
