| | I'm looking for some large maps to play three or four player D&D miniature games. Does anyone know of any third party large format maps that might work? I recall some folks having huge maps at Gencon for some large skirmish games they had. | | | |

| | I believe that there is a company called Chessex that makes vinyl maps in large and very large sizes for both 1" square and hex-based miniatures games. You can then just use the old DDM terrain tiles to make some interesting maps. | |

| Hi mshea,
Have you looked at the two piece Keep of the Fallen Kings map from Fields of Ruin. It is big and provides plenty of building and terrain features.
It doesn't look like it was designed for Skirmish, but I don't see why someone couldn't make it work.
Cheers,
Mazra | | | |

| I'm a map maker, and there really isn't any hat I know of.
BUT, if you have multiples of maps, they can join together.
The Lost temple is perfect in a 4-square.
check other maps to see where they might line up. yea, the Keep of the Fallen Kings is god. the forests might line up nicely with dragon down grotto, and the Kings road as well. | |
May you find peace and happiness at the hand of Hextor.

| | Don't forget how some of hte earlier maps line up: Drow Outpost, some of the Drow maps (Fane of the Drow?), and (Mushroom Cavern) I think also all line up nicely. I may be a little off on the maps listed but I remember that Drow Outpost joins at least two other maps from one or both of the first map packs. | |

| We used to play some huge multiplayer epic matches in a crazy scenario with 2 Teleport Temples, in which the only way to get to the other map was, precisely, teleporting.
That was loads of fun. | |
