Tomb of the Nine Gods Printed Map Pack

This is the first print version of my Tomb of Nine Gods map. The map originally started out being designed for online VTTs, but I’ve had a couple of requests by Patreons for a version they can play IRL. This is that version. It is the first one, so there may well be some improvements specifically for a printed experience I’ve yet to learn, so please if something feels off or can see a better way to handle an aspect of the tomb for print, drop me a message. 

PDF

The pdf is 133-pages long and includes all maps for the entirety of the tomb as well as all overlays which are for interactive elements (traps, puddles of slime, rotating gears, et al.). It also includes an extra map for the approach to the tomb, in case you wanted a battle at the entrance and needed a bit more space than the level 1 map provides.

Map tiles

A full level map is made up of a number of map tiles. The scale is 1 inch (25mm) = 5ft, which allows you to use standard 25mm miniatures. For this scale to work, each page should be printed at 100% on A3. There is a gutter (a white border) on every page which you should trim off with a sharp blade and metal ruler. For extra durability, considered mounting the print outs to foam board or card using spray glue. All map tiles are in sequence in the pdf, from top left to bottom right. It should make sense as you’re laying it out, but a good thing to remember is that each map isn’t the same size, doesn’t always need the same number of map tiles across its width. I tried to keep you from having to print squares of “dead” black space in the tomb (not always possible, but I tried to minimise the occurence of this). For insance, the first map (The approach) has 6 map tiles to complete a row, while the second map (level 1) needs 5 map tiles per row and the last map (level 6) needs but 4 map tiles per row.

• Print 100% on A3.
• Trim edges.
• Mount and/or stick together.

Overlays

These are in the same scale (100% on A3). Some may have interesting shapes, so use your discretion as to how to cut them out in whatever fashion makes sense to you. Consider using miniatures instead of overlay tiles when it makes sense to do so. Some overlays are things like clay golems, gargoyles or statues which may be better served to be miniatures instead. Some overlays have alternatives or duplicates, for you to choose the style that works best for your approach or to have extras to use in other spots.
