    B&W maps?

    Can anyone recommend a good source (commercial or not) of black and white fantasy battle maps for use with FG?

    I would take any color map and use a graphics program to convert it to grayscale. You can do a bunch of filters and effects with a lot of apps these days. (Windows photos, GIMP...)

    Running: The One Ring and GUMSHOE--Esoterrorists (on hold); intermittently Fiasco and DramaSystem/Hillfolk
    Want to play: Pendragon, City of Mist, Dresden Files RPG, Orpheus, Changeling, Apocalpse World and more PbtA, Bluebeards Bride, Shadows of Esteren; anything by Bully Pulpit Games

    How about something like:

    https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.n...8ABEC7D7F9020/

    Created a simple hatch and solid walls as a mod and then draw (used Dungeon Painter Studio). Took about 5 mins to create.

    His maps are absolutely great, but IMO they don't translate well to the online medium with all the over/under stuff he is apparently compelled to include. Too bad.

    Hi John

    I've just had a look and those maps are gorgeous. I'm not sure what you mean about the over/under stuff though. They look usable to me. What am I missing?
