Oct 20, 2010 8:34:05 Hey all:

I'm looking to run a GW mini campaign and am having a tough time finding appropriate maps for encounters. The few in the base set are alright (some of them are pretty undistinguishable from standard D&D fare), but obviously some variety would be nice! What is everyone else using? Some generic 'post apocalyptic street/ruined bulding' maps would be priceless.

I ran a set of GW encounters using Kings Road and the Mushroom Cavern battlemats with great success. To add to the ambience of the setting I do have some Games Workshop craters and some wrecked cars as models that I put on the battlemat to give it a more "nuked" feeling.
I plan on using the star-wars tiles set to make some interior maps when needed.

I love these! They are worth every penny!

Oct 20, 2010 20:41:59 Dry erase boards are nice, but for this particular instance I will be running Gamma World almost exclusively through Fantasy Grounds. Thanks for all the suggestions though, Omega Tiles in particular is what I was looking for. I also took another look at my D&D tiles and found the Dark Sun ones to be pretty good for a 'blasted wasteland' setting. So between wasteland, post apocolyptic streets and the run down high tech buildings from the base set I have a decent amount to go on. Hopefully I can nail down some of the maps from the Game Day as I've heard they have some good ones.

Oct 21, 2010 0:43:06 Game Day maps.

Side 1: 2 maps, half the sheet each. Each map is 15x21

1: Straight stretch of road, 3 wrecked cards on it.
Scrubland on the side of the road, with an excavated semi-circular area. Fallen telephone pole, and 2 sewer vents

2: Parking lot, majority of spaces have vehicles in them. There's an enterance gate booth. One corner has a corner of a building with an auto sliding door and freight elevators

Side 2: One map, a large technological facility, with small utility rooms surrounding it.
Less generically useful. Still very cool.

Good call on the Dark Sun tiles. I'll have to grab a pack next week.

Oct 22, 2010 17:38:33 The obvious options for preprinted materials:

Star Wars Mini Maps
D&D Maps
Game Mastery Maps
D&D Tiles
Game Mastery Tiles

Another fun idea - if you have access - is to use actual blueprints for a building.

Personally, considering that the PC mini options for GW are thin, I think I might just give in and do the LCD projector route. That will allow me to use any pictures I want as a battle map.
