The Book of Sewer Labyrinth

[Griffin]

What quozl said.

1- Put the start zone space down.

2- Put the battlement on another space.

3- Drag the battlement onto the start zone.

Yeah, VS isn't always the most user friendly.

Then again, it is a ton more work than I would have put into a program I was going to give away, so I can't really complain!

Cool. Thanks guys!

What about ruins of heroes past?

I haven't had the pleasure of setting that up, but that does look like one that would be perfect for uncapped columns. Sewer Labyrinth, however, has really made a convert out of me for non-ruin settings.

There are actually several C3G maps I haven't set up. One map I really want to return to is Crime Alley.

Taeblewalker, I finally checked out your VS file. Those dungeon tiles really give it a great dungeon flavor, and I love your use of shadow. I've downloaded for future reference. This would be a lot of fun to tweak by adding larger side chambers, plopping some rock columns in certain areas. The swamp, I think, really adds a slimy character. This would be a great way for me to give my neglected DnD waves some attention.

Got this put together with david's mods. I also tweaked the starting zone to get it to 24 hexes. Looks great.

One thing I just realized is that if I'm using water tiles it then has a 4 set requirement instead of 3. I definitely like the look of the water tiles, but I could pretty easily swap them out with swamp water if I had to to get it to a 3 set requirement.

Any opinions on this?

Where is the file for the updated version?

If it's only the water tiles that takes it to the 4th set then I think swapping them for swamp water is the way to go. Unless you want to make use of the rest of that 4th set .

Huh. I cliked the link thinking this was Sewer Entrance...

Nice map. Killer Croc style . IMO, keep it between not enough sets (so the map isn't bad) and too many sets (so more people can build it) please.

OK, made quite a few updates here based on the feedback so far and a few tweaks that I thought helped the overall aesthetics. PDF and jpg in the OP have been updated.

- Removed water tiles (only 3 set requirements then) and replaced with swamp water tiles
- Made the start zones 24 hexes
- Reworked the columns so they are all on the same level (made sense logically) and in groupings of two to give it more of a corridor or tunnel feel to it
- Added in several more battlements toward the center of the map

I'm very pleased with the finished result. David's ideas for restructuring the middle and adding more battlements really helped give the map some aesthetic flair and I played off of it to add more tunnel structures.

Hey, I just checked the material list in my Swarm of the Marro rulebook when I saw your update this morning, and that set does come with 8 water tiles! If VS told you that you needed 4 sets to bring in the water, then that's a glitch. So if you want to keep the water (and I really think it adds to the aesthetic), then go fer it, dude!

If I use VS to check materials, I'll go into Available Materials, click reset, then click the sets based on the posted requirements. Then I'll manually go through the material tabs on the left of the screen and look for those flagged in red.

Your revised column layout looks great.

Looks like a great Killer Croc map. If we ever do a Knightfall Campaign, this would have to be the map for Knightfall part 4.
