That’s pretty awesome, what was the process like?
-
I printed the map using a poster/plotter printer in two sections that I split up in photo shop, scaling the map size and resolution to fit a 1in player grid (the grid marks are there, but faint).
I then taped 12 2ft×2.5ft foamcore boards together and glued down the map, using gluesticks for the majority and hot glue to keep the edges down. I taped it so that it is a trifold, condensing down to a single 7ft×21in panel for storage and transport.
Someone else here in the comments suggested cottons balls for fog of war, so I am gonna get those and some poster tack to keep it all vertical. I am gonna track their progress by making player tokens and using poster tack to keep them on the board.

You're doing way more for your players than I have time to do. Looks awesome!
Real MVP play is telling us all how it was done
-
Gotta give you props, that is way more effort than I put in for my players, results look great though

That looks awesome.

Thank you!

I would almost want this on a fleece blanket lol

The reason I did it was because the group wanted a world map poster of my homebrew setting to put up on the wall, but I am not a skilled enough artist to make it look nice enough. Professional, pre made maps ARE withing my skillset to make a massive poster from.

Wow! What is it made out of? Plastic?
-
The map is on paper, using a poster/plotter printer I have access to through work, and the backing is foamboard. Only $40 in materials all said and done.

Oh, man! Looks awesome! Is it digital and is there a link where we could buy / download it?
-
It can be downloaded from drivethruRPG here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/productreviewsinfo.php?&reviewsid=446386&productsid=299103
I got the maps for free because my dad backed the project in development and it came with the digital maps, but he had no use for them.
edit for transparency: I didn't draw the map, just to make that clear, I just made the poster to 1in grid scale

Now it is time to frame it and put it on the wall!
-
That’s amazing! What is it fastened to? Wood? Cardboard? Poster board? Something else?
Well done friend.
-
Poster board! It is foldable too, condenses to a single 7ft×21in panel for storage/transportation

Very impressive! How would you handle Fog of War?
-
I was wondering this too. My first thought was cotton balls.
-
-
Impressive, so do you actually use it, and if so, how ? That won't fit on a standard table 😀
-
My thought was to make player tokens and use poster tack to move them around as they explore, keeping it all vertical.
I just finished it this morning at 2:30, so I still haven't worked everything out, but the first reveal will be today, even if I don't think they will start using it today.
