More D&D-scale poster maps?

[firesnakearies]

I'm looking to find a few additional full-size, scaled for D&D miniature battles, gridded, nice-looking, color fantasy poster maps to use for my game. Basically, like the ones included in the H1-H3 adventures, or the DDM starter pack, or the Fantastic Locations products. Those, OR modular tiles which serve the same purpose, such as the Dungeon Tiles line. Either/or, just so long as they're quality products and suitable for D&D encounter use.

I already have or am acquiring a number of these:

- The maps in the new published 4E adventures (H1-H3)
- The maps in the Dungeons of Dread and War Drums DDM starter packs
- The maps in the Fantastic Locations line (Hellspike Prison, etc.)
- The WoTC Dungeon Tiles line
- The Paizo GameMastery Map Packs
- The Paizo GameMastery Flip-Mats


That's a lot of encounter maps, but I'd love to find more, if they're out there. You can never have too many cool-looking, convenient-to-use battle maps of all varieties, in my opinion. There are only a few specific requirements I have for what I'm seeking:

- No .pdf files or other electronic format items which I'd have to print out myself. I only want actual physical, pre-printed maps here.

- Nothing with modern, futuristic, or sci-fi imagery. Fantasy settings only.

- Nothing with a hex grid, or maps with no grid at all. 1" squares (or reasonably close to that size) or I'm not interested. Maps which have dots or the like in the corners of the squares but no actual lines are fine too, just so long as the grid is denoted enough to be usable.

- Obviously, it needs to be something different from the maps which I already listed above.


So, if anyone knows of any other suitable battle maps or map tiles which I could acquire, from any source at all (not just D&D products specifically), which would work for what I want, I'd be very grateful for your heads up.

Thanks a bunch!

Rackham put out a series of very nice reversible Gaming Tiles for their RPG Cadwallon, which uses 25mm squares. Very good looking.

Some of the new 4e adventurs from Goodman Games are suposed to have battle mats as well.

There have been a few 1" scale poster maps included with issues of Dragon and Dungeon magazines. I've been trying to hunt them all down. I'm sorry I can't give issue numbers (I bought the magazines just for the maps and then recycled them) but they shouldn't be difficult to locate. My favorite is a very recent issue of Dungeon (#141?) that included a map of a ship (four levels, all with 1" squares). Another cool one was "The Sleeping Dragon Inn" in another issue several years ago.

Check out Paizo's leftovers from Dragon magazine, all for sale at one dollar each (I believe that's what Cincinnatus was refering to). Has the Sleeping Dragon Inn, an arena, village maps and others, all well worth the buck:

You could also get the D&D Miniatures Starter Set which has two decent maps:

I recall the excellent maps that came with the D&D Challenger series of adventures. Some of them are pretty nice and included details like tables, chairs, suit of armor, etc.

I'm not sure if these maps use exactly a 1 inch grid, but they look pretty close. However, you'd probably have to resort to eBay to find any of these modules now days.
