This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Cole;404300Have you asked the librarians there, or the staff in any of the fine arts programs? They might have a larger scale plotter to use at some kind of discounted rate that you could print maps and such with....

Oh, that's where you were going with that question.  I don't mean mean literally printing out the map from that generator... But I seem to have developed a case of stupid and can't seem to find a good way to save or export the geomorph-based random dungeon.

Quote from: winkingbishop;404359Hah! You would bring these up.  The sad thing is, I think I have one or both of these in the abyss of my parents' basement somewhere.  I'm tempted to go play archeologist but I don't even know if I could get them to run.  Do you still use them and, if so, were you able to run them in comparability mode or did you have to start running an emulator?

32-bit OSes still have no problem running these.  Tight!  64-bit...not so much.  Use DOSBox (they are also abandoned so seek ye them on the interweb).

Haha, I had much the same problem. I actually just saved it one geomorph at a time and assembled them in photoshop, like a sucker :)

Quote from: winkingbishop;404031Quick question from the lazy/hastened reader: Do you or the website have some suggestions for printing the generated dungeon layouts or overland maps (yeah, I looked at the campaign world generator too :) )?  I don't have a lot of time just now, but my initial test with saving a snap from the dungeon and campaign layout went... well, poorly.

In both Firefox and Internet Explorer you'd choose File/Page Setup from the dropdown menu, then change it from portrait to landscape, and choose to 'shrink to fit'. Then when you print the map it should fit on two pages.
