I love these map banners! I totally plan on getting one if I ever find the time to create a consistent campaign world.

That’s a good question.

At present, I have no plans to begin working on a G+ game of my own. However, I would like to reach a point where I can start to make such plans.

I think I need to wrap up a few other obligations I have going on to free up some extra time in my schedule. Once I’ve done that I might start the planning phase for running a G+ game on a biweekly schedule. I was actually originally thinkinga bout running a WEG star wars game, but I like the idea of having a persistent game world with two groups in it. That might be a lot more fun.

Though the biggest hurdle will be codifying the rules I use in a more absolute sense. I can get away with a lot of nebulous B.S.ing in my face-to-face games, because most of my players are inexperienced or very casual. Experienced players will want to know what their options are.

Thank goodness for PFSRD. Otherwise everyone would need to buy a Pathfinder Core Rulebook.

So when are you going to run some adventures in this world online?

Holy crap, that’s beautiful! I’ve been planning to start work on a megadungeon eventually. I’ll have to get prints made once I complete each level.

The resolution in the pictures looks pretty good. I’m glad you tested your map with the wet-erase markers. I had a banner done through Banners on the Cheap also, but I didn’t want to use the markers without knowing that they would come off :)

My banner is a huge (4′ x 8′) dungeon map. You can see my post/pics here: http://www.rpg-blog.com/2012/07/my-rpg-map-banner.html

Could you potentially make a 3×3 or 3×5 empty grid map. then order smaller banners with the icon hexes on them and cut those out to place on the larger map?

Just thinking… Either way this is a neat idea for a hex crawl map. Thanks for the tip off.
