Hi
Simple questions really,
What are the different ways to print maps?
I am designing a generic map to be used in a fantasy setting but I don't know how to start the dimensions as I'm not sure how people will actually use/print it.
I want to use 1-1/4 inch squares and make the thing roughly one large rectangle of squares. However, I don't know how people print maps like these... On a standard printer? (assuming with lots of sheets of paper and tape?) On a large copy machine such as at office supply store? (these might be expensive) Im wondering if what printing methods work best and if I can make my map to better suit different types of printed formats
Suggestions? Thoughts?

How do you restrict player movement: i want to use a movement stat for each character .
is there any way that a player can only move x hexes in a turn, when using initative turned on?

This topic will explore creating some zombie mapping objects, zombie crowds, etc for all types of maps.
Here are some samples of a biker zombie. The first with a normal skin tone, the other two with discolored tones.

Hey Steel Rat,
I made some generic random grass tiles from your generic map posted up here on these boards. I was going to submit them to Trevor for a generic grass background for his future random map maker.
Are you OK with that? This is what a generic map would look like with the tiles:

Of course you will get mention at the time of upload :)
 Let me know friend!
Also, if you want, I labeled them all for Dundjinni use and can post the zip up here. I won't do so until I hear from you!

Hello Gang!
I am going to be running a campaign in a jungle area. I am in need of generic jungle areas for when the party travels through this place to get to the temples. (I am actually sending the party to Xen'drik (Eberron) to explore and eventually stumble across a giant temple).
I love the generic fields and grass lands that we have recently posted but I need jungles. If you can make some, perhaps you can make several different versions (randomly drop trees and brush). Also, put some areas that would be impossible to pass through like thicket and overgrown areas.
If anyone can post something like this, I would greatly appreaciate it!
