I'm delighted to report that someone (thank you Red Orc) has found a sheet of the elusive mapping paper and sent me a scan. As a couple of people suggested the paper is printed with two grids (the second being offset by about 1mm). This means the small gaps between grid lines are ideal for shading in a walls.
I've printed a couple of sheets of the paper out and will try drawing a map on them tomorrow. The main squares are around 3mm which is quite small. I think if I were to print a pad of these sheets I'd want them to be double-sided with a different sized grid on the reverse side.
If anyone would like a copy of the full-size scan, send me an email (oubliettemagazineATyahoo.co.uk) and I'll be happy to send it to you.
Interesting!
ReplyDeleteAh that's where my memory failed me! I forgot about that large heavy grid overlaid on top.
ReplyDeleteYes that breaks it in to 10 square sections. Useful for counting, but not so nice visually.

ReplyDeleteThank you tracking this down.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes those are the ones! Look forward to seeing your test dungeon.
ReplyDeleteThis is the one you mentioned to me a couple of years ago. I've drawn a sample dungeon a three different scales. I'll try and scan them later tonight.
