36" X 48" It's big. I'll either laminate it at work or put it in a frame from Michael's...

Sorry, just noticed the pic uploaded upside down...

How on earth were you able to get that printed for $11? I just called my local staples and they quoted me a price of $25 before tax... and that was for a 24 x 36 version. I needs to know your secrets.

BTW, it looks like the D&D Extra life thing may give us all the map for free in less than a week. It's now has less than $1,500 to go before the map gets released for free (which I think would be an excellent shot in the arm for our hobby). I just hope WotC doesn't change the rules at the last minute or something.

I'm hoping the artist gets paid some sort of bonus if the map comes out for free. It would suck if he suddenly lost income because of it.

Well it might work in his favor. Lots of folks will hear about him and it's not like I'd give him less money. I'd just get one more map that is on the bubble.

But I'll bet he's in on it.

I bet it'll just a plain image of the map, not at the high resolution and size of what Mike's offering. Probably no tiles either. That's just my guess thought.

Nicely done S-Bob, and at a great price!

It's quite possible it will be released at a lower resolution. Regardless I doubt they'll release one without labels.

If you go to the Staples website and look at the printing section, look for "engineering prints". That's what you want. Upload your map, pick your size, and you should be good to go. My 36x48 poster was 11.89.

What size file did you upload? That was the only drawback to my attempt to use vistaprint, file was too large.
