Keep on the Shadowfell Maps

[Calico_Jack73]

My group downloaded and printed these for our game and they were a HUGE timesaver (and they look really cool too). Thought I'd share them with the good folks of ENWorld.

Keep on the Shadowfell battlemats - Cartographers' Guild

Keep on the Shadowfell (2nd batch) battlemaps (6-8) - Cartographers' Guild

Keep on the Shadowfell (3rd part) Caverns (9-11) - Cartographers' Guild

Keep on the Shadowfell (final batch) Level 2 (12-17) - Cartographers' Guild

I didn't create them but I doubt I'll ever go back to hand drawn battlemats again.

Woah, those are fantastic.

A quick question, however - they're listed as being printable at 120dpi, but my printer at work can only print at 600dpi and 300dpi, according to the settings I can find. I assume that this is going to cause a problem with printing.

Is there any simple way around this? Is printing at 120dpi unnusual for a standard printer and as such should I just give up on using these, or is there some easy fix I don't know about?

All help appreciated!

I'm not sure. One of my players printed them on his industrial strength work printer.

I'd take them to Kinkos and play around with the size until you get the right scale (1" squares). Each map takes several pages but we just keep some scotch tape at the table and my players assemble each one as I refresh myself on the encounter about to take place.

This tool is pretty cool too! I'm kinda glad I didn't buy the first 4 sets of Dungeon Tiles as I can print them out on my own cardstock whenever I want now.

That sounds like good advice if I knew what Kinkos was or how to go about doing it. No worries - I'll carry on with Dungeon Tiles and a battlemat.

Oops... Kinkos is just a copy shop. The can make any size of copies, signs, etc. Just use your sociogeneric equivalent.
