Hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas season. Christmas was super-relaxing for me, and also gave me more time for writing and blogging.
One of the nice perks of an Insider account –and this is a small thing, and not a reason to subscribe, really — is the archived image galleries that they are now releasing. It’s a great way to get handouts for your players or to get images to populate your campaign wiki. The normal images are nice, and the map galleries are tremendously useful. One of the things I’m most thirsty for as a GM these days are maps. I’ll make them if I need to, but if I can have battlemaps pregenerated on-hand, it really helps my ability to improv and react to the unexpected actions of players.
WotC even goes to the trouble of giving us marked and unmarked maps. This will be especially handy for the online game I am preparing to run (more on that later!).
As a GM, what places do you use to get maps and images for your campaigns?
