As announced in March, I’ve started releasing something exclusively to the patrons who support the Dodecahedron through my Patreon Campaign.
This month it is a selection of hand-drawn hex sheets that I put together. The primary launch point was wanting to have some 4′ x 3′ hex posters printed up to run The Fantasy Trip games on. Business Depot / Staples does these wonderfully affordable “Engineering Prints” at up to 4×3 on light 22lb paper in B&W for $3 per page (this varies from place to place, I pay $2.93 per page, and I’ve seen it as high as $4 per page).
So I sat down and drew up a full massive page of these hexes. Turns out, even with 1.5 inch hexes, it takes a LOT of hexes to fill a poster that size! As soon as I posted a photo of a piece of this poster, the requests started to pour in for copies of the “source file” that I used.
So I’ve packaged up the poster design (with and without central dots), along with a bunch of pieces extracted from it (sets of 4 megahexes that print nicely on a letter-sized page, and a mix of ledger and letter sized pages with 1.5 inch hexes as well as ones where I’ve scaled down the original poster to make pages of half inch hexes and so on).
If you want a copy and are a supporter on Patreon, just head over to this Patreon post where you can download it. If you aren’t a supporter on Patreon, it costs as little as $1 a month and is what keeps the constant flow of free maps going on this blog.
Wait. That’s the cost per page! Last time I priced stuff like that it was per square foot. Woo! I have posters I need to print! I must investigate locally now. Thank you for mentioning that.
Plus 3×4 hex posters with some lamination would be excellent for my Champions game…
Engineering Prints are super affordable, but only B&W. I pay under $3 (Canadian) for poster-sized prints here, and of course the fact that essentially all my work is B&W helps.
Staples says US$7.29 for 4’x3’ b/w. Has the exchange rate with Canada gotten that bad?

Ah man, they upped the price in Canada too. Damnit. I was getting these for $3 a copy last month. They just doubled it to $5.99 here.
That’s still very reasonable for a 3×4 poster.
Agreed. Very reasonable. But not “stupid cheap” like it was before.
I mean really… $3.
That is downright ridiculous.
I got a lot of maps printed.
