For all you GMs running the Princes of the Apocalypse adventure, here is a free resource you can hand out to your players as they begin to explore Red Larch and the Dessarin Valley!
It's intended to be printed double-sized so you can fold it up into a brochure. It works best in color, but should be fine in black-and-white. I've left it without a background so it doesn't consume too much ink. (BTW, the use of the awful Papyrus font is deliberate!)

Nicely done! This is a great tool.
Any chance you could use a map without all the dungeons marked on it? Seems like a bit too much to show the players right away.
Durn, that's the map that comes with the (AL) adventure. I unfortunately don't have access to any other maps to use for this purpose.
I like it, but I'm not sure about the maps. IANAL, but they look like they cross a line. You could maybe do simpler line-drawn maps and it would be fine.
Or photo-shop the map.
Cool handout tho! I'd use it if it were scrubbed.
Updated brochure, with map replaced with a slightly tweaked older map!
I like the idea that the elders of Red Larch can't be bothered to get a decent map made for their visitor's guide. If you've ever tried to use a map on a visitor's guide, you know how authentic this is!

Why is the 2nd page upside-down? If I print this double-sided the 2nd page winds up still upside down and it's all weird.
Also, I'm kind of surprised the Allfaith's Shrine didn't make it onto the brochure. No love for the gods amongst the Elders? :D
Awesome!

Uh, the Red Larch map still treads dangerous waters. If I have time later, I'll do up a very simple box-map of the town you can use. I also like the idea that the town elders are too cheap or lazy to get new, good ones done.

I think the only danger being implied is a possible image copyright. I'm starting the campaign within the next couple of days for my wife and daughter, and love the brochure, so I thank you. The only typo on it I see is hat I was wondering if you perhaps should refer to Gaelkur's as a barbershop, since the black market aspect is ostensibly on the sly.
Thanks again for this.
This is great.
