    Oh, man! Looks awesome! Is it digital and is there a link where we could buy / download it?

      It can be downloaded from drivethruRPG here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product_reviews_info.php?&reviews_id=446386&products_id=299103

      I got the maps for free because my dad backed the project in development and it came with the digital maps, but he had no use for them.

      **edit for transparency: I didn’t draw the map, just to make that clear, I just made the poster to 1in grid scale

      The reason I did it was because the group wanted a world map poster of my homebrew setting to put up on the wall, but I am not a skilled enough artist to make it look nice enough. Professional, pre made maps ARE withing my skillset to make a massive poster from.

    Very impressive! How would you handle Fog of War?

      I was wondering this too. My first thought was cotton balls.

        I had been struggling with figuring that out, but cotton balls with a bit of poster tack to keep them attached will be perfect! Thanks for the idea. I was going to do black cardstock with each room cut out, but your suggestion is 1,000,000× easier

          Anytime! And FWIW we’ve used cotton balls in the past and they worked perfectly. Even looked like fog of war lol. You could even spray paint them black/grey if you want to go the extra mile.

    That’s amazing! What is it fastened to? Wood? Cardboard? Poster board? Something else?

    Well done friend.

      Poster board! It is foldable too, condenses to a single 7ft×21in panel for storage/transportation

    Impressive, so do you actually use it, and if so, how ? That won’t fit on a standard table 😀

      My thought was to make player tokens and use poster tack to move them around as they explore, keeping it all vertical.

      I just finished it this morning at 2:30, so I still haven’t worked everything out, but the first reveal will be today, even if I don’t think they will start using it today.

    That’s pretty awesome, what was the process like?

      I printed the map using a poster/plotter printer in two sections that I split up in photo shop, scaling the map size and resolution to fit a 1in player grid (the grid marks are there, but faint).

      I then taped 12 2ft×2.5ft foamcore boards together and glued down the map, using gluesticks for the majority and hot glue to keep the edges down. I taped it so that it is a trifold, condensing down to a single 7ft×21in panel for storage and transport.

      Someone else here in the comments suggested cottons balls for fog of war, so I am gonna get those and some poster tack to keep it all vertical. I am gonna track their progress by making player tokens and using poster tack to keep them on the board.

        You’re doing way more for your players than I have time to do. Looks awesome!

        Real MVP play is telling us all how it was done

      The map is on paper, using a poster/plotter printer I have access to through work, and the backing is foamboard. Only $40 in materials all said and done.

    Now it is time to frame it and put it on the wall!
