    is it possible to print this out in a readable form? It was too small when I tried.

    As nice as these maps are. Cloth maps do not look like computer generated output.

    Please @DarkStarr make the cloth maps look like the Ultima style of cloth maps.

    Agreed. However, I would totally snag one if this map got printed over at RelicsByRild.

    This is actually designed to be an A0 sized poster at 300dpi, so it is over a metre wide.
    Printing this version smaller will mean that fonts are too small and will be illegible.
    I'm waiting until less monthly changes are being made to the world before releasing a link to a PDF that you can send to a print shop (last prototype I did was a 27Mb PDF).
    It would be annoying to pay $30 or so to have one printed and then have a lot of towns shuffled at the next release.
    Also, a map is inherently a spoiler and having too much information available will detract from the thrill of getting the cloth map.
    The cloth map is a pledge reward I'm looking forward too - as well as the videos of Lord Cosmonaut signing everything :)
    Not suitable for cloth or a small size. It would look like a snotty blue handkerchief belonging to someone with a cold.

    @Birko I'm probably insane, but is there any way technically or practically this amazing map and key could be printed in 'bricks' of A4 paper then stitched together?

    I'm being a skinflint, but also thinking that if I taped it carefully so that it hinges, I could fold it.

    Most graph9ics programs will have a printer option to print on multiple pages. I did this with a Sota map about 2 years ago since we didn't have one provided... still the one im using on a wall next to me to this day.

    I honestly dont remember :(

    Would have either been something like paint, or Adobe.

    Gimp is free and can probably do it. Im sure someone here can chime in with a good choice. was something i figured out at the time and forgot :(
