I Want Maps -- Where Do I Get Them

[Kel]

Is there a source, on-line or otherwise, where I can get printable versions of the combat-maps that appear in WotC modules? I'm talking about the ones that appear with the text of the module and that you have to draw-out by hand. It would make my life so much easier if I could get my hands on copies that can be printed out at Kinko's or something and used for table-top combat. Any ideas?

It's not a guaranteed source, but The Cartographer's Guild is a good center point for finding things like that. (http://www.cartographersguild.com/)

Digicam?

Is that fair use? I honestly can't say.

If you have a DDI subscription you can get every map from every digital issue of Dungeon magazine. They release them in a nice little zip file monthly and they are available in the archive as well. It shouldn't be too hard to resize them for battlemap usage before printing.

Not 100% related to the OP's question, but I've got some resources I've collected over the years, I might as well post them here:

387 Free D&D Maps | Dungeon Mastering - A lot of good maps collected here

http://www.cartographersguild.com/ - I joined just for the ability to get good maps, free and totally worth it.

Dungeoneering.net - Free Terrain and Map Sets for Your RPGs and Wargames - Dungeon Tile type maps, good resources if you want to use these and Gimp to make some custom rooms.

Maps - Dream Weaved Worlds - Hit and miss with good maps and less than good ones. Worth looking at, anyways.

www.Gozzy's.com - Random Dungeon Map Creator - A random map generator, good to have a couple of these in your gaming folder for those last minute one-shots.

My GM just cuts & pastes the map, blows it up, and prints it. It is a *little* pixilated looking-- but pretty good- certainly better than having to draw out the whole map or hunt them down on another site.
