[QUOTE="Orius, post: 6114398, member: 8863"] First off, that index map is exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for. (And 1 hex = 1 mile too, one of the scales I'm using, yay!) So mapping at least in that example is more a matter of marking off which hexes have encounter areas and charting the paths between them. Most of that material I don't have unfortunately. I do however have Night Below, and in fact I'm going to start my Underdark maps with the areas from that module. I already have the surface areas converted to a hex grid and placed on my surface maps, and naturally linking up the Underdark areas accordingly seems like the best way to start things off. And that page does show some of the Night Below areas, albeit under the Flaness, but that's no big deal. I'll probably take a look at the Encyclopedia Subterranica if there's good stuff to [s]rip o[/s] borrow for my campaign, I'm not really all that familiar with Greyhawk, but that pdf looks like it has some good encounters and stuff. I'll just need to convert it from 1e (oh hell, some guys wrote their encounters using 1e level titles rather than just listing levels). Anyway Greyhawk sometimes has more interesting stuff to yoink than FR. [/QUOTE]
