An adventure easily paired with the Scarlet Citadel Map Folio, a fold-out set of playable battle maps. It is a collection of all the maps a GM needs to run the massive Scarlet Citadel dungeon-crawling adventure. Maps include 10 full color coated battle maps measuring 24 inches by 36 inches when unfolded, each overlaid with a grid of 1-inch squares for tabletop RPG miniatures.
