Hello,
I purchased the Keep on the Shadowfell H1 module and soon discovered that it doesn't have and maps for the keep itself. I was wondering how exactly I was meant to handle this. What am I meant to use to represent the keep? Is there something to print off?
Thank you for your reply,

There probably is something to print off. Cartographer's Guild had maps for King of the Trollhaunt Warrens.
I think the expectation is that you sketch them out for your players. If you feel like it, look into buying a vinyl map and some eraseable markers.
(Or, consider not using a map at all. It's doable.)

Hmm. I don't have any of that equipment and we are playing tomorrow morning. We are very used to using a map. I'm not sure how we would go without one. Do you know of anywhere where we might be able to find easy to print A4 sized map downloads? I'm new to D&D, so I have no idea where to look.

When in doubt, just use several pieces of paper on which you roughly sketch what you are going for. I recently looked for maps of the keep myself and found these two: www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.ph...canageek.wordpress.com/2009/08/07/keep-o...

I think we end up playing with the maps on an iPad tomorrow. Thanks for all your help guys.

But unfortunately they are not on conveniently sized A4 pages, so I will be using those maps on the iPad if no other possibility arises.

For scaling and printing to 1 inch size i use PosteRazor. It's free and you can get it here. It's easy to use and the output is in PDF .

Does it alter the size to be A4? Because that would be awesome!

PosteRazor creates a pdf with as many a4 pages as the map requires.
With an overlap so you can tack/glue the pages together.
