09-22-06, 09:50 PM Is it possible to enlarge the maps from the map a week archives and print and play on them with minis? Frost Giant Stronghold kicking some serious @$*.. They only get blurry when I enlarge them myself.. Do they sell those maps as a download? How can I make it happen? Thanks!

If that is not enough then I am not sure

09-22-06, 11:31 PM Some of the Archive maps should blow up nicely.

I have noticed that all the recent maps are only 72 dpi and don't enlarge that well. What ever happened to the 150 dpi and 300 dpi choices? At 300 dpi you could actually get a little detail to print.

To answer my own question it may be wizards doesn't want us to download and print the maps because then we'd have less excuse to buy the latest Fantastic Location they release.

I don't know if I'm allowed to post it here, but I have the Frost Giant Stronghold - Lower Level resized for printing with little distortion. Of course, I changed the scale of the map from 1 square = 10' to 1 square (1") = 5' since that's what the minis use.
hmmmm

09-23-06, 03:22 PM Do you think you could get a printshop 2 pull it off? 1 large 1"=5' scale map? If so how would you get the printshop a copy of the map download from Wizards.. email it 2 them? This would avoid printing several and cutting and splicing them all together yourself and would leave you with a nice tabletop map.. Why not make nice maps like the Frost Giant Stronghold 2 scale for the minis (that they sell) and sell them? I would buy them. Have looked all over only 2 find the couple of tile sets they sell.
