Giant Aihrde Map Wanted!

Piperdog · Post by **Piperdog** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 12:47 pm

While I really like the two part map that came with the folio, I would really like to get a poster size map, maybe even one with the old school hexes on it. Is there a way to get a digital version of "The Cradle of the World" in high res? If so, I could take it to Kinko's and spend some cash to make a giant size one for conventions (and my gameroom wall....)

There was once a giant poster map of the World of Erde that one could buy. Maybe the Trolls still have some?

Geez I hope so! That would be awsome!

If I could even get a hold of a digital version, I could have one made though (and it would be pricey). My goal is to run a game at Gen Con, and have some cool props, like a big map professionally mounted on foamcore (like 3' x 4')

Was there any significant changes between the old map and the new? I haven't seen the new maps yet (still waiting on my Aihdre folio).

This is what the new map looks like. No, it wont print worth a damn at large sizes. ^_~`

Here's a link to the old map:
http://www.trolllord.com/files/erdemap.pdf

The map is about 32" X 21", so less than 6 sq. ft. I've found Staples to be one of the cheapest to print on a hearvier stock at $4.20 per sq. ft. My local printer wanted $8.00 per sq. ft.

I'd like a Sepia toned cloth style map with the old style nautical lines and legends. One for the whole world and another for the cradles of the world.

Where is Yggsburgh on these maps? Or is Yggsburgh even placed in Aihrde/Erde?

It's left out since technically, Yggsburgh is not part of Airdhe.

Plenty of spots that are good places for it though. Especially on the Kayomar side of the map. Plus I think the history fo the Kayomar area would blend the best with Ygssburghs.

Guess I have to get the folio to know the history, eh? Suppose I can just place it anywhere and make it work. Technically my campaign is going to merge Airhde and Inzae anyway (not in a planar way but actually combining the geographical places so I can incorporate resources from both worlds).

I incorporated it too. I just kept it via the gates, so that Inzae is a world made for higher level play, with all the powerful monsters that you wonder why the "normal" world still exists.

I still use the modules for ideas, but everything is seriously scaled up.

After Lost Caverns of Tsjocanth my home group will be going to Inzae for awhile. In fact I have a gateway to Inzae via the Caverns.

The old, old poster map of Erde (the link in Rhu's post) is not that great in my opinion. Personally, I hate it. However, this thread makes some great sense that TLG would provice such a product, or at least the hi-res file so that Aihrdephiles can print it out for themselves.

Would be sweet.

So you don't like Peter's link? Its the new Cradle of the World.

Another order to add to my gamer-printshop dream order.

Any chance the Trolls could work with these guys to make maps available for print in any size we want?

Cool... I just had a chance to look at the new map! Thanks for the link btw...

I printed it on a regular sheet of paper to stick in my binder... I can't wait to finally get my hands on this!
