Map Blanks

[drnuncheon]

Back in 1e (or was it 2e?) there was a product called the World Builder's Guide. I just dug mine out the other day - it's got some neat stuff in it about planetology and the like.

As I recall, it came with a book of map blanks that were designed to go with it - things like a hexmap icosahedral projection, a polar projection, and the like.

Trouble is, I can't find that booklet. Hence my question: are these (or something similar) available online anywhere?

Thanks!

You just looking for hexgraph paper? I used to have a program that would spit out hexes at whatever size you specified.

Don't know of anything that has stuff like polar projections, though. Good ole Mercator is much easier to work with.

The sheets had hex paper for the icosahedral projection, I remember that, with spaces to put other relevant stuff about the world. If I remembered /everything/ that was on them I'd make up my own.

RPG.net was just talking about forms like this, there are some other links in this thread:

Brilliant. Eric, once again you are the man.

Now why didn't I think of looking in GURPS Space?

Here's the ESD on RPGNow.com

Does the ESD definitely have the map blanks? I ask because the copy of a PDF I've seen did not, but I don't know the source of said file.

I think they are in the Profantasy (makers of CC2) library also.
