I downloaded the color map of Twylos. Its a real nice map. Are there any plans of putting out a larger poster sized map? |

Thanks, the artist who made it, Leo Lingas, is amazing. He did the cover of the book and several internal pieces also.
No current plans to put out a poster, but that might be nice. Swill? Did you ever look into this? _________________ The GM is your friend. |

Actually, I had thought about it. If there's a modicum of interest, I'll look into making one available.
Any requests as to format, size, material? _________________ Take a page out of the Unicorn Bible and dance all night by the Light of the Dragon's flame. -Champions of Breakfast |

having this thing printed at a local photo finishing place - or even at Sam's Club would only cost you like $20 for a poster size.
Would this be a breach of copyright? or do you care about that? _________________ Righteous InDagnation |

No, we don't care. But I was looking at an option where they are printed on canvas. _________________ Take a page out of the Unicorn Bible and dance all night by the Light of the Dragon's flame. -Champions of Breakfast |

I think they even have those options at photo finishing places. I'll be near one today at lunch. If I can stop in - I'll let you know. _________________ Righteous InDagnation |

I just called the local photo place and they have the following options for canvas:
20x30 on gallery mount - $139.99
30x40 on gallery mount - $259.99
it isn't done in-store, it is sent out and takes about 2 weeks.
damn... that's a lot more than the $20 for photo paper. _________________ Righteous InDagnation |

Wow. No, I found cheaper than that. Thanks though! _________________ Take a page out of the Unicorn Bible and dance all night by the Light of the Dragon's flame. -Champions of Breakfast |

It looks like we can get a poster size of the Twylos map out for around $20. I'll put up some specifics soon.
I am tempted to get a canvas poster for my own use. Not sure if I should go with color or a nice sepia though...
The canvas posters run near $100. I don't think we can stock those, but I will post a photo if/when I get one. Maybe we could take special orders. _________________ Take a page out of the Unicorn Bible and dance all night by the Light of the Dragon's flame. -Champions of Breakfast |

Twenty bucks sounds good. Is that for the color poster sized map? I would like to have one (poster/color) for our group. Others in the group may want one also. I will talk to Dartvaian and crew sunday. If the color map is more I would still want one if it is not too much. Look forward to seeing your specs. |

I suppose I'd have to get one too. So much better than the hand-drawn maps... those look like they were made by a grade skool student in comparison. _________________ The GM is your friend. |

Update: I just put in an order for a proof print of the Map of Twylos.
I'll put up a photo and some specs once it comes in. I should have it by the end of the week.
There might be more than one option, but I am trying to go with color on canvas. It's not too difficult to run to your local copy shop and print off a poster-sized print. -I want something special, and I think I found a reasonable cost, if the quality is there.
I hope it works. I'd like to use it in the game I'm running on the 15th. _________________ Take a page out of the Unicorn Bible and dance all night by the Light of the Dragon's flame. -Champions of Breakfast |

Update:
I am pretty pleased with the Twylos Map proof print. Here are some specs:
1: It is canvas, and seems very durable/flexible. I creased it severely to no ill effect.
2. The color is nice and rich, and the smallest font readable. I was pleased with the quality all around.
3. It measures 19.5" x 15". I considered larger, but 36" x 24" will likely be $10-15 more, and this seems to fill the middle of most tables without getting into each persons' writing space.
4. I believe the price will be $25, but I have to go over that one more time before it is official.
5. It's kinda nifty.
Here's some pics. Sorry, I am not a photographer. Once we settle on this, I will post some nicer pics with the announcement in the news thread. The first pic was with my camera, but the battery died immediately and the last 3 are with my phone. Sorry, I have shaky hands.
It looks a bit washed out here. The colors are actually deeper than these pics suggest. _________________ Take a page out of the Unicorn Bible and dance all night by the Light of the Dragon's flame. -Champions of Breakfast |
