Hello Eric, hello people at WotC,

I just downloaded the Champions of Ruin web enhancement "Vanrakdoom" at http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20050712a and am very enthusiastic about it! :-))

A great adventure! :-) Web enhancements of this size and quality really make up for the recent decrease of page count of FR products!

I have one problem with the adventure, though. :-( The map on page 5 of "Vanrakdoom" is just too small. I can barely recognize the rooms, even when zooming into it. Even worse I cannot recognize the room numbers, which makes the adventure unfortunately next to useless. :-(((((

So here is my question: is there a larger version of the dungeon map available at the WotC-web site? It should not be that difficult to just republish this single page of the adventure in higher resolution, is it?

I am very much looking forward to your reply.

Thank you very much in advance and keep up making FR the best D&D setting around! :-)

Glad you like the adventure. Sorry you can't read the map. There wasn't budget to draw a new map (they weren't expecting a complete adventure) so I found one that would work in the Maps of the Week. Unfortunately, it's a bit tough to read.

Try here: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/mapofweek/Dec_X14.jpg

If that's not good enough, look for a copy of "Axe of the Dwarvish Lords" (2e). (I think that's where it's from originally.)

Hello Eric,

thank you for your fast reply!

Yes, the linked map worked out very finely. :-)) Now my players (and their DM) will not have to ponder which room corresponds to which encounter in your adventure... :p

Btw.: Could your approach to the subject of web enhancements not be inspiration for more adventure web enhancements? I do not mind reuse of previously published maps if they are taken to such a good use...

... and I would like to see more content in WotC-products to come... but so far I did not see one official statement about the recent decrease of pages in D&D products. But that is a completely different story...

Thanks again for your help! :-))) I consider it to be unique to get such excellent support by a game company.

Greetings from Cologne, Germany,
