[QUOTE="Kalendraf, post: 1615954, member: 3433"] Would that be the circular maze you're referring to? When I ran that adventure, I looked at it in advance, and I decided to completely redraw it, making it much more rectangular. I kept the flavor by using the same kind of traps and other encounters, but got rid of all othe bizarre problems that a circular map would have caused in actual play. I've encountered other maps that I've needed to redraw for similar reasons. One pet-peave I have is that I think maps should be designed to try to fit on a large battle mat. A sprawling dungeon is ok, but it just becomes a headache when it winds up being a mere 15 feet too long or too wide to fit on the battlemap. We wind up having to erase and redraw things which is frustrating. I've found graph paper that is the same size as my battlemap (in terms of # of squares for height and width), so when I draw maps on that, I know it will fit on my battlemap. I know not everyone uses battlemaps, but several groups do, so I think this is a fair request. [/QUOTE]
