I'm disappointed that the new Waterdeep supplement doesn't have a poster map inside. I'm trying to paste together the maps posted in the Map Gallery, but cosw4 doesn't match the scale of the other images and I'm having a heck of a time getting it to fit in Photoshop. Will there be a complete Waterdeep map in large format and 8 1/2 x 11 format? It will help my players immensely to see where they are when adventuring in the City of Splendors.

Since there wasn't one in the sourcebook itself, I guess not.

I was also hoping for a takeout map, but now that I've been using the maps the way they are for a session or two I must say I enjoy these more.

There is a foldout poster map in the 2nd editio "Volo's Guide to Waterdeep".

I think DRAGON's going to publish the "stitched-together" map soon. Also, we may be able to make the PDF available through our website.

That would be awesome. I really enjoy the 3.5 ed. map as opposed to the map in Volo's. I was just comparing the two.

We're working on trying to fit a Waterdeep poster map in Dragon #335 (which has several articles about the Realms and Waterdeep in particular), but it may slip to #336 depending upon some technical issues. We'll make a big announcement soon.

IF it can be acquired, and one is looking for the quintessential maps for Waterdeep I recommend trying to find a copy of City System (circa 1988).

*10* Poster Sized maps, that all overlap together to form a WALL SIZED MAP of Waterdeep. Detailed down to the very last back-alley and building in the City of Splendors.

Hasn't changed that much in 15+ years, in fact, we still use mine in the campaign I run nowadays.

The Volo's map, and the maps that came in City of Splendors 2E Boxed set and FR1 supplement are just sad by comparison.

I have a pdf of that book - I printed the map out - each section is A3. It is as big as my lounge floor, and i have a big lounge.

One day I am going to have it tiled into a floor or something - it is such a beautiful map
