Caves of Chaos Master Map
I recently finished my master map for Caves of Chaos which is gigantic (6900x4500). First I exported the map out to a PNG (from Dungeon Designer 3), then saved it again as a JPG (30% quality), which brought it down to 2.2 MB. I could export a 10% JPG that still looks pretty good and get it down to 700 KB, actually. Anyway thought I'd share the map with everyone.

Here is the module I just finished for my D&D Next playtest game, with all the story entries expanded. Every entry is pinned to the master map, and contains all encounters & item parcels. Was a lot of work and I'm looking forward to stomping my players through it. :P

Nice work... is there by any chance an overland map which shows the contours and cave openings?

Holy smokes!!! Caves of Chaos... my very first experience with D&D (Basic Set) back in 1982. Very impressive work.
Cheers,

Any chance you exported your campaign as a module that others can use?

That would be copyright infringement, so no he won't have done that.
My players just defeated an army, had a dogfight with aliens, machine-gunned the zombies, stormed the tower, became Legendary and died heroically
Yours are still on combat round 6
