I got my new map from Banners on the Cheap!
A bit of background. I was approached back at the end of June about the possibility of printing up a large vinyl banner for an RPG map. Consequently I have also wanted a large map of Victorian London to put up in my game room.
Well I went to the website and setup my new map. All you need is really is the image. The layout interface is ridiculously easy to use.
Here is the original image I used, 1890s Map of London and here are the results below!
As you can see the map is huge.
The banner itself is 4 feet tall by 6 feet long. The image I had when printed at it's best resolution would have been 6 feet by 7 feet. So a good fit really, with some space on the edge.
I might print up Places of Interest (occult locations, the Swift's Home, St. Erisian’s School) and pin them in place. I'll more than likely use stickers since I don't want to poke any holes in this.
This picture does not do it justice, but the print is very clear, clear as the source image, to the point where I can read the street names.
The color is great. It really is an absolute gem of a map.
I have not tried it yet with water based or dry erase markers yet, so I can't confirm if those work.
What I do know is I am looking for other maps I have laying around here that I would like to get blown up onto a huge banner like this. A scale map of Castle Dracula would be awesome. Failing that, a scale Castle Ravenloft.
My expectations were pretty high and I am happy to say they have been met!
If you want to try them out for yourself then here is the link. I highly recommend them.A bit of background.
