Like the title says I need a little help. The problem here is maps. My standards for maps are way to high and I lack the talent to make my own. For random encounter maps I can make them fine. but for stuff like Rhest, Vraath Keep and the like I need help.

I was trying to just use the default maps from the wizards site but they were too small and their resolution was too low so they looked like crap if I zoomed into much so it bugs me too much to use them. So far I have managed to adapt with the marauder attack map and this image of Skull Gorge Bridge. http://philippinerpg.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/skull-gorge-bridge-expanded.jpg

The Skull Gorge bridge map I really liked but I have not been able to find other maps like it. Some help finding better maps or making them would be very much appreciated.

Given how popular this module is I am shocked no one has stepped forward to help.

If you could at least help me with Vraath keep which I know some of you have used pretty good versions of I would be very very thankful.

Your google-fu is weak, young padawan! :smalltongue:

Seriously, just google (https://www.google.com/#q=red+hand+of+doom+maps&safe=images) "Red Hand of Doom maps"...

Here (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ag/20060228a) is a gallery from the WotC website.

I just said I can't use those as they are too small. I tried googling and can't find any up to my standards.

Nowhere does it say that you looked at these maps... I was under the impression that you were using maps from a pdf of some sort.

If you lack the talent to make a digital map, you may have to draw your own. Gaming paper (http://www.gamingpaper.com/) is a cheap, yet quality product. Its what we did. That, or lower your standards.

I don't know if anyone is going to do the work for you...

I'm also looking, without much luck. The WOTC maps are easy to find, but as far as I can tell there's no high resolution versions kicking around, just waiting to be downloaded.

The maps aren't super complex, so if you found a nice tileset it wouldn't take long to recreate them.

I actually got some help form another site so everything is good for now.
