similar. i had a rare (to a 9th grader) moment where i felt bad for the new kid who started high school as a transfer a month after school started. so i offered him my seat and invited him to join basketball tryouts etc.
guess i'd have been about 14 or 15 then? im 35 now and we're still best friends. friends like, to the point where every relationship we've been in, it's been brought up that it's a bit weird. haha. a couple of examples of our weird co-dependence.
1) remember the old next-tel (sp) phones that had the walkie talkie? we got right on board with that. we learned a bunch of trucker codes to communicate without getting the other in trouble if they were at work. we called ourselves db-1 and db-2 (you'd be 1 if you initiated the conversation). db stood for douchbag. the back-and-forth was endless because we'd generally just wanna chit chat about anything. girls would always complain we're never that interested in them. always.
2) i went into his house (obviously we had keys) and rasturbated a photo of him and i on his bedroom wall. it caused a legit fight when his girlfriend didnt want to leave it up for any amount of time. "he worked so hard on this and...look...it's a pretty awesome photo" was not valid in her mind.
3) it was fairly common that we'd stalk one another ... especially on dates. typically the PI would go out with another friend and follow the dater around. if it looked like it was going badly we'd make ourselves known. this had a few problems ... the biggest being that you felt like you were always being stalked even when you werent. the second being bumping into the other date and then it turns out they get into a relationship. it's a pretty telling tale of what to look forward to.
right. i got really off track.
The Rasterbator // For creating pretty nice wall art from pictures.
Tineye // Reverse image search.
Java Visualizer // If you want to see your Java code run step by step. Pretty helpful in diagnosing problems.
Not on coworkers but a definite office prank. I had a cube next to a window that looked on to our parking lot. People with less patience than sense would often cut through our lot to get around a light, despite the fact that it was a bit of a drive on either side. When a new building was being put up, the parking lot was closed off on one end and people would come in, drive past my window, and then have to turn around when they came to the closed off side. I used the rasterbator to make a giant poster of Admiral Ackbar with the "It's a trap!" caption and posted all 30 or so pages against the window, facing the drivers trying to cut through. This was highly amusing to our work group for a while until management decided that it was a statement against the new construction for some reason and I had to take it down. I got a lot of Ackbar-related presents when I left that job, and it was great.
They use this: https://rasterbator.net/
Upclose they look pixelated, but it looks good a few steps away. You upload your image and it will split it into x number of 8.5x11 pages for you to print. Print and tape together. You can put it on Dollarama foam core backing.

you are an absolute legend! i love this. is it cool if it print it out and paste it on the wall at my office? if so, i'm going to use this website to blow it up: https://rasterbator.net/
Hey, this is a link that might help you
You can upload images and than dowload a file where the image is spread out over multiple A4 papers which can afterwards be taped together. This make it easier to make A3 sized maps from home
10ft x 10ft. You can.
Take a high res picture.
Stretch the image to the size you want.
Save to disk/usb stick.
Print.
Rasterbator creares tbe image size you want printable on standard paper using a standard printer.
If you can’t physically sleep in another room put the bed to the other side of the room, replace familiar furniture, paint the walls new perhaps…
Try this maybe:
^ignore the name, it’s a cool concept(prints an image over many sheets of printer paper to make a huge image.
My suggestion for image:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Operation_Crossroads_Baker_%28wide%29.jpg
Or
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9e/4d/27/9e4d27768b927c4735ac41243112a7f2.jpg
Some incredible ideas on here. A few more
One that I’ve really been liking is using the rasterbator. Basically it takes an image and crates a giant poster out of small papers. Get the most embarrassing picture you can find and plaster it all over their car!
Roku TV has a spray paint artist channel. They show you how to make stencils.
NO HAND PRINTED SIGNS, BITCHES!!!
You can use your hobbies.
Sweet, sweet 24” of love. They make ‘em bigger, too.
I had a closet office in NYC. I found a pic that was close to the view i could have had from my office and ran it through https://rasterbator.net/ made it a whole wall in B&W using the white edges of the paper as window "panes" look. it was awesome.
I assume you are talking about GlassEye 2000, Don't even bother with it ever.
If you have a picture of what you want to make turning it into a pattern with GIMP or InkScape is simple. Import the picture and use the Paths tool of either program to lay out the lines. Then you can save/print/scale whatever the lines to any size.
Personally I use InkScape because it is built for vector work. It might take a bit to get use to but it is well worth it.
EDIT: Forgot to mention both InkScape and GIMP are free with no limitations.
EDIT2: InkScape, GIMP, Also for resizing large things to print on your printer Rastorbator
For this I used https://rasterbator.net set to 2 pages high with us letter. I left the default margins and cut them off with a exacto knife. It came out as 8 pages total.
I'm going to try using Excel for the next one and compare how it goes.
Bam. This is how I do it. Then I like to use an x-acto knife to cute all the rooms separately and then label them with sticky notes. It's worked really well for me and the DM I learned it from!
I had a similar situation recently. I found a Thanksgiving D&D session I wanted to run, and the person who put it together had created 35"x35" maps. I found a website (https://rasterbator.net/) that will take large images and generate a multi-page PDF with the image split appropriately between these PDFs. I then printed them off on cardstock with UPS and just set them next to each other for the play mat after trimming excess.
Does rasterbator do what you need (you can specify exactly how many pages to print across - for your purpose be sure to select the 'No Effects - just enlargement' option). You can't specify dpi because that's not how dpi works if you want to specify how many pages.
yeah, 20X30 is not going to happen. Even 8X10 is iffy from a phone.
The only other option I can think of is something like the Rastorbator. I was trying to think of a way to describe what it does, but you should probably just see for yourself.
I think the best use is Roll20 or another virtual table top, as it's scaled to 70 PPI. A lot of these creators' Patreons will offer higher rez for printing and then you can use something like https://rasterbator.net/ to break them down for home printing.
If you are willing to do the following you will have the exact image at the desired dimensions:
Step 1. - Download the image and convert it to a multi page large format image pdf file using Rasterbator. It's easy.
Step 2. - Go to Kinkos and print out each page in color borderless.
Step 3. - Carefully paste image sheets onto your board.
Step 4. - Seal image with transparent protective material.
Voila!
You are welcome.
I will be in Portland next week and can help you do this, for a fee.
The original is surprisingly hi-resolution... You could probably get a decent 8.5x11 print, or rasterbate it!
Give this a try, it's a site that uses a deep convolutional neural network to embiggen pictures:
And if you want to make them really big and spread across multiple pages, use
If you have access to a printer, you can use this site to blow up photos and create posters. I did it in college but im a guy with (probably) lower standards for decoration
Allow me to introduce you to the best thing on the internet for 14 y/o me, wanting to put NIN posters all over my room and having no money: https://rasterbator.net/
I had to look to see if it was still up and running, and it seems it's gotten an upgrade! It's no longer just some dinky little thing with little-to-no examples available. Sadly, when I was 14, cameras still used film, so even if I DID have pictures of the results, I'd have to find the physical photos, but still. Might be nice to vary the size a bit.
A quick google search showed this site that will print a 10' x 5' poster for about $150. There's also this website that will blow up images to print on stacks of 8.5 x 11 paper. Standard printer paper would be cheap/easy but if you have the funds you could print on nicer photo paper. Here's an example of what it looks like: https://i.imgur.com/2arVBTX.jpg
Wow, those posters are really beautiful.
My university library has a poster printing machine, so right now I'm thinking of doing that. Depends on how expensive it is. If it's too much I'll probably end up "rasterbating" it, https://rasterbator.net/ which is essentially printing them out on multiple pages, and then you tape the whole thing together on the support.
I'm not sure yet how I'm going to bring it to the march. I was thinking of taping the poster to cardboard and attach that to a broom handle, but that link you provided said there were size restrictions on the posters for inauguration, so i'll have to check out what's up for the march. Probably they won't let the broom through and i'll just have to bring just the poster. Which is fine but more tiring on the arms.
Edit: For anyone who was wondering:
> Q: Can we bring flags and banners? > A: Flags are allowed, but not on a pole. Posters and signs are allowed, but not with the use of wooden sign posts. Instead, we encourage people to use cardboard sign posts.
Most staples have a large-scale printer if you're willing to shell out some cash. But if your at-home printer seems better for the job the website https://rasterbator.net/ will split up your images so you can print them over multiple pages, chances are the scale isnt going to be perfect, but thats okay!!
​
Good luck on your game :)
If you have tons of printer ink, you can use Rasterbator which prints a giant mural on several A4 paper.
Or just buy a giant corkboard and let them print or cut out of magazines to create a collage.
Some ideas.
- chart paper/vinyl battlemat + non-permanent staedler markers
- dry erase board with 1" lines scored into it
- poster creator like https://rasterbator.net/
- Roll20 (or other VTT) + monitor or TV laying on the table
- Roll20 (or other VTT) + short throw projector projecting down onto the table
- Dungeon Tiles et. al. for a DIY feel
I personally use Roll20 and a monitor on it's side. It's the cheapest option IMO, and still retains the aesthetics of the maps.
The way I do it is take the pdf of the adventure path and use this website to extract all the images: http://www.extractpdf.com then scale up the image to 1:1 using GIMP but other similar tools can be used, make any modifications to the file I like then export it as a png/jpeg. At this point you'd be able to display it on a laptop. But I don't have the skills to make an old tv / gaming table conversion so i then go to https://rasterbator.net/ and convert them into multi page A4 size pdfs, print those out, trim the sides and tape them together. Here are my efforts for the adventure path part 1 maps so spoiler alert for those: https://imgur.com/a/UIaht for maps that are multi room or not all visible from the start I cut them up and place them room at a time as they discover new rooms.
I'm making a large mosaic mural out of bottle caps which I will paint in batches to form the "pixels".
Anybody know of an online tool that will convert a picture into a mosaic AND also be able to give me the counts for the numbers of each colour of pixel?
There must be one, no way are people making pictures out of skittles with no planning beforehand.
I've previously used https://rasterbator.net/ for similar work, but having the pixel counts is pretty essential for this one and I really don't want to have to manually count them!
This lets you print an image on several sheets of paper, so you can make your own posters of whatever you want using the school's printers (aka for free!)
You could try image sourcing them to see if you can find them in higher resolution. My goto is tineye.com
You could also try Rasterbater to rerender images in a unique way that allows you to print them at any size.
There is a website called rasterbator that does this exact thing. You can scale it to whatever size and it will even over print the edges so when you go to cut the borders off it won't matter if the line is not straight.
yeh best thing would be to use something like rasterbator https://rasterbator.net/ to print multiple sheets of a4, and stick them together. All files can be found on weareadg.org/housing - just click and you'll get printable and editable copies :)
I found links in your comment that were not hyperlinked:

Rasterbator is great for making posters with your own printer. Example of one of my goddesses
One nice way to cover a section of wall is to enlarge something to fill the space. This is pretty handy when needing to fill an open area with an image, cartoon, clipart or logo. You can upload anything and select how big you want it and other options at https://rasterbator.net/
If you have a photo of your cockpit on your phone or something use the rastorbator ( https://rasterbator.net/ ) and you can make a poster out of regular printer paper
Makes more sense if you see an example, liked above!
It's not the cleanest image as the magazine's digital version has pixel issues when zoomed in. Should be good enough for anyone's digital wallpaper or a specialized tool such as Rasterbator (100% free) for your own wall
Currently I've subscribed to the online version of the magazine for this month. However, subscribing to this is not for everyone as it's all in Japanese
Also in the issue includes a writeup on Hana's funeral and a pretty powerful image that's best to be seen
https://wp.bbm-mobile.com/sp2/default.asp for the magazine's website
If anyone’s interested in making their own cardboard bot, here’s a link to the website where you insert a picture and it splits it up to you’re desired size in order to print!
Free, Powerful, Does nearly everything you need it to. If you need to print any patterns larger than a sheet of stock printer paper. Rasterbator or PosteRazor will take care of that for ya.
Glass Eye is outdated and over priced.
I would bring it into https://rasterbator.net and choose the highest detail setting (many small dots) and make a poster of it that way and then print it myself on however many A4 sheets I wanted. Glue the paper sheets to cardboard and hang out up as a collage that looks great from a couple feet away. You can make anything this way. Do a Google search of "rasterbator" and see for yourself.
any chance you'd add an option to the site for just the digital 2D drawing of the shelf? i'd love to use your shape but am capable of designing my own brackets to match, the thing that's been holding me up on installing a shelf has been not wanting to take the time to build the template. i'd love to contribute to your van fund for access to just the 2D DXF (or whatever format you have that in). that way i can print locally on my 8.5x11 printer using https://rasterbator.net/ [i swear that url is safe for work, it allows you to splice prints on small printers].
i think a print-only option would be a super great way to extend your design to the hardcore DIY market.
I've only just moved to Milwaukee a year ago so I haven't been to too many opportunities to fuck up. But for one of the Cavs games I printed out real big using Rasterbator of a screenshot of "Are you trying to get the pipe" that JR Smith infamously dmed some chick. I was at the edge of the upper deck waving it around and eventually an usher told me I need to put that down.
I then realized if someone didn't keep up with the nba that much then out of context it looked like I was pretty much parading a sign that asked people at a family friendly event "do you want dick?"
I'll probably print out a larger portion of the text conversation for the next Cavs game rather than just the punchline
With the official product not available, I feel like your best bet is to make one yourself. You can find lists of RTK kanjis online and use word or publisher or sth to make a poster, then print it out in multiple sheets (eg using rasterbator )
If you don't mind quality, you can even use the preview image that white rabbit press has in rasterbator (looks pretty bad though, may as well just print that image in 1 A4 sheet)
All I can think about is finding something that you like and running it through https://rasterbator.net/ -- you can then print at home or get higher quality prints at kinkos or a local print shop. Post what you end up doing - I'd love to see the finished product!
What do usually print?
I used to make posters with their free 10 4x6 photos using https://rasterbator.net/, it's super fun. You split photos into 9 blocks of 4x6 ish photos
For 8X10 I print family photos and frame them, they usually cost atleast 4$ (If i go print without coupons)
Having posters made of your favorite albums is likely to be way easier, and cheaper, than buying many square feet of plexiglass. It is more expensive than you think it is.
If you have access to a scanner with a large bed, you can stitch your posters together with
It can create artwork for your whole ceiling, up to 1000 pages.
I uploaded the image to this website and fiddled with the page dimensions until I got something I was pleased with. You can print it out on any normal home printer and tape the pages together.
If you made a graph on your plywood with the same ratios as the graph you printed the logo out on, you could have more accurately transferred the pattern.
Alternatively, use a program like https://rasterbator.net to blow up the image to the working size you needed.
2 options: Print Settings and "rasterbator.net"
I know various versions of every software application behaves slightly differently, and every printer has different functionality, but within the print settings from the application or in the printer settings, you should be able to select "poster print" or "tile print" and then select your scaling and overlap.
There's a website that helps you tackle this exact problem: rasterbator.net Pretty self-explanatory.
A few notes though... It's possible to make something really tacky, so be careful. Suggest you stick to a simple black and white rasturbation (it's also cheaper this way). Print on card stock with a flat surface. Use Adhesive Putty placing a small ball in each corner and the middle of each side. Measure the wall and make sure it's centered. Use the paper cutter at the printer rather than a scissor to cut the margins off.
Printed the 9-point star using rasterbator.net so I can get it to be big enough (2.5 pages), then I cut out some of the shape, so it doesn't fall off and placed the paper outline on a black t-shirt, then I pressed red paint on to it with a sponge. I had to paint 3 layers on it so the black t-shirt doesn't shine through the paint. Then I cut the star out of the t-shirt and hand-stitched it onto the pants.
To print maps cheaply or to make a fog of war effect, I use rasterbator
Silly name aside, it's good for converting everything into sheets of paper, and scaling isn't too difficult if you're going for 1" squares and account for margins. I then can usually print at Staples or whatever on 8.5x11 sheets for like, $5 each
I made Benson myself actually. I just used a cardboard trifold and a website called https://rasterbator.net/ to size the printed pages right. I used a website to upscale a Benson image too because it was too small at first
As a new DM running LMOP now, I've taken to:
- Find the map online (just google, most of them are created with a grid)
- Use Rasterbator (https://rasterbator.net/) to turn the image into a 4-6 page PDF
- Print the PDFs and use good old scissors & tape to turn it into a proper battlemap
Took a moment to get used to it, especially to make sure the grids are proper size, but it's a great way to get many of those fantastic online maps onto your tabletop :)
So I actually made it myself from printing a graphic I found online and using a tool to make a poster! Here’s the tool https://rasterbator.net but I can’t seem to find the print again, sorry about that 😕
Find the map online then import it using https://rasterbator.net/ . Please pay no attention to the name its not a joke link. This will allow you to take the map and allow you to covert it into a pdf that has different section of the map in full page panels that are easier to lay out and cover up. you still end up having to print them off but they are more manageable and its a free conversion. I handle all my IRL large sized maps this way.
You could do this with https://rasterbator.net https://gmetimeline.com and https://www.qr-code-generator.com.
Make a multi page qr code and put it anywhere, like the side of your house or the rear window of your car.
here's how i made him:
you need - a big ass piece of cardboard - glue - a printer or go to the print shop - scissors - a knife cutter (optional)
- find a high quality picture of the character you want to make
- go here and upload you picture
- leave the paper settings like they are!!! you can change the height/width of you poster by changing the number of sheets in output size (look at the bottom right to see the measurements)
- klick continue and choose no effects
- continue twice and complete the poster. you should end up with a pdf document
- print out said document
- cut out all of your sheets
- glue them onto the cardboard (it helps to lay them down first so you know where each piece has to go)
- cut out your cardboard with the paper on it
- you're done!!
hope this helps :)
If you want to make your own standee, you can use rasterbator to scale your character properly.
Make sure to select “fit to page” instead of “default” when printing so that it prints properly and doesn’t cut out any section of the image (I learned the hard way).
After cutting out each piece (be careful bc you have to connect them), I suggest using a glue stick rather than bottle glue to attach each of the pieces. In my experience, bottle glue will result in wrinkles and wet spots whereas using a glue stick will leave the pieces in their original quality.
I attached the printed pieces to a piece of thin, white poster cardboard. Ryoma is short so thin cardboard works for him, but if you’re making a taller character you might want a thicker material so that it doesn’t bend over.
Also, I used white cardboard in particular to make a white background and outline because I thought it would look nice. You don’t need to make an outline, but I do suggest that you not fully cut out the legs the way I haven’t (there’s cardboard in-between his legs bc I didn’t cut them out). This is because if you cut out the legs then you’ll be able to see the stand in the back which might not look as clean aesthetically.
Also, you should make sure to make the bottom of the standee flat, even if the bottom of the character is not completely flat (see his feet) so that it can stand properly on a flat surface.
To make him stand, I cut out a long, rectangular piece of cardboard and folded it’s length into halves—one half smaller, and one half larger. I glued the smaller half to the MIDDLE of his back while the larger half remains perpendicular to the figure itself, functioning as support (see last picture).
You could use Photopea to combine each of the pages into one large file.
​
Then you could use Rasterbator to split that file into multiple PDF files to print and piece back together to make one large wall poster.
Perhaps someone knows how to print with pins. But there's ways to print very large things across multiple pages. If you're interested, it's called tile printing, aka rasterbation. heh
rasterbator!
love this app.
I am fortunate enough to have a silk screen kit, cheap one but it is large and i can do multi pieces if i have to.
yeah! To find the pic of jean or whoever (I'm thinking of doing a Reiner one LMAO), I just looked up their character design on the aot wiki. I recommend using one with a white or transparent background. Then, I used https://rasterbator.net/ to format the pictures correctly. I recommend playing around with the settings until you get the right height for the character, so I messed around with margins, how many pages, and landscape vs. portrait. I printed and cut them all out, got a long sheet of cardboard, and pasted the sheets down with a glue stick (and packing tape in problem areas). I had a lot of stuff lying around my house, so it was a super cheap project for a rainy day lol. Hope this helps you reach your maximum simp potential!
You might have good luck using a map book tool like in qgis to develop the images:
Then stitch the images together using the rasterbator (yes, unfortunate name...):
You can also print them separately and piece them together. If you have a design software, just set the image up in different artboards, otherwise you can use something like https://rasterbator.net/
Just a suggestion in case you cant find a print shop or individual to do them for you.
You can always use this free program called the Rasterbator.
You can blow an image up to any size you want - even wall-size - over multiple pages and it does all the legwork for you.
You aren't paying for the jpg, you are paying for the paper, printing equipment, ink, and shipping. No one would be able to offer this for free, as these things all cost real-world money. They are physical goods.
If you have a printer, there is always https://rasterbator.net, but it's is most likely not the aesthetic you're going for.
when I was able to play in person and wanted to have big maps I used this free website/program:
basically it takes a large image and splits it up into chunks that you can print out on normal sized paper, its great for making art which is what I think is intended, but you can also use it for dnd
Hey, try this. I am pretty sure it is free. I have never used it but I have been in a classroom where they took a photo off Google and make it huge and it looked pretty decent.
​
I know that seems like a racy name, but I swear it is an site that does what you are looking for.
You could try rasterbator if you want to do it for cheap. It basically takes your image and processes it so you can print it off as individual A4 sheets of paper.
This is, in fact, completely safe for work despite inherent first appearance. If you’ve ever wanted to make your own posters by printing any image onto multiple sheets of paper for a massive collage that makes one complete image when joined together, this is the place.
It's not exactly the same, but try https://rasterbator.net/ and link/upload the photo there, play around with the dot size (7-10mm is the sweet spot) and print size, and the results are usually pretty cool.
The offline version lets you choose more paper sizes as well, I'll typically just go for A0 and leave it at 1.
Most of what I've put up have been things I cut up from magazines or printed out myself. (Recently used Rasterbator and like it quite a bit, especially if you can find high res images to use it with.) Usually I focus on pictures along with articles I found interesting or add some cool flair to my walls, as well as images from my favorite artists, musicians, films, authors, etc. Use it as an opportunity to create talking points with your students and share what you're passionate about.
You could check with your librarian and see what they do with old magazines in your media center, might not be a bad resource for you!
r/battlemaps, /r/FantasyMaps, and 2 minute tabletop when looking for maps for things like combat. If you want maps of towns/cities/worlds then your best bet is to check out /r/FantasyMaps, or check out the sub reddits for the tools used to make maps (/r/wonderdraft, /r/inkarnate, etc).
If you're playing in person you can use websites like Rasterbator to print out large battlemaps on multiple pieces of standard paper then you just need to tape them together. Otherwise you can obviously head to any printing place and get them to print them large.
Miniatures are a whole other ball game though. If you don't already have the paints/brushes and experience to paint miniatures yourself then it's a bit of an investment to go that route. You can pick up pre-painted miniature (of varying qualities) on Amazon and other market places.
Edit: Lego men, and other such figures also make great miniatures if you don't mind the abstraction. Lots of games use things like gummy bears and the such for enemy monsters so they can be eaten when killed! I have a massive miniature collection and I still mostly use little numbered tokens in my own game for enemies for the sake of simplicity.
Ok so, i recently made a bunch of hq cutouts bit they were as big as my hand, but i saw someone explain how to life-sized ones in a tiktok.
- Ok so first normally go to google and type in the character's name + transparent png full body and download an image you and like but make sure it's high quality.
- Then go to rasterbator.net and upload that image and change the output size to 8 sheets. no effects.
- Print the sheets and cut him out.
- Glue him onto a big cardboard or styrofoam board (the person in the tiktok got the board from home depot).
- Then cut the board around the paper. you can use a hot knife or utility knife, your choice.
- Then make big triangles from the extra styrofoam and glue them to the back so he would stand up.
*Note that oikawa is 184cm (6'0 ft) and the cutout will be just under 180cm (~ 5'11)
hope i helped!
Try putting it through the Rasterbator: https://rasterbator.net/Download There's definitely a line halftone option (although I don't remember if you can angle it, i used it 10+ years ago), and the output is a vector PDF. Just set the page tiling to 1.
I found links in your comment that were not hyperlinked:
I did the honors for you.
^delete ^| ^information ^| ^<3
If you're on macOS you can try Vectoraster (that I develop) for more basic vector halftones (that may well be enough for you) there are some online generators like Rasterbator and Illustrator plugins, just search for vector halftones.
Have you considered buying a cheap standard sized home printer and then using something like https://rasterbator.net/ ? It could print out a larger image page by page. A bit of a pain in the ass, but if you line it up properly it's hard to tell it wasn't just one large piece of paper.
sure, i used this tutorial: https://youtu.be/WZ_ro3RejZU , and this one: https://youtu.be/KAnduQZhEkg . Its actually rather easy to do
step one: choose a nice high resolution pic you want to use
step two: upload it to a website that splits the image so you can print it on multiple sheets of paper. I used Rastorbator for this (thats the best page i could find) https://rasterbator.net/ on the page it will show you the approximate height of your final piece (i made mine 7 sheets tall, so hes around 180cm)
step three: print and cut all the pieces out
step four: glue them onto some cardboard and cut that out as well (i just used a box cutter and a pair of scissors) step four: glue some more cardboard to the back to make it stand up. The way you glue it on is shown in the second video i linked.
Hope this helps, it 4am for me rn and im not the best at explaining stuff haha
Daniel Ingram’s mind map of TMI is helpful for me. https://www.integrateddaniel.info/the-mind-illuminated-mind-map
I used the Rasterbator to print it out and taped it to my door. https://rasterbator.net/

A tool that lets you take your dungeon and make it print over several A4 pages.
Then you can tape them together.
Making doors, rooms, clues, barrels, traps etc "hideable."
Making it so that you can print a player version and a DM version.
Box'o text. For writing notes etc. Also hideable.
Some kind of terrain-height layer.
So the dungeon can have several heights.
Just a few suggestions.
I actually have this as a life-size poster on my bedroom wall. I cropped the edges off so that it was all just Zara and used rasterbator.net to make it cover 12 A4 pages (4 length-wise and 3 width-ways). I then printed them off on glossy photo paper and stuck them all to a piece of card. It's pretty much life-size. A bit fuzzy if you stand right next to it but looking at it from the other side of the bedroom it's amazing.
Okay. Next.
Print a picture of something silly and do that thing where you stick your face through so it looks like it's your face on the body of whatever weird thing it was you printed. It's low-tech, you can't stop me!
Use this site: https://rasterbator.net/ To make a smaller image print out over a few different standard sized sheets of paper.
I believe in you, you can make this happen!
I typically print cuz I am too broke for supplies but have access to a printer at work.
https://rasterbator.net works great for posterizing images, or you can poster print a design on a large posterboard at a local copy shop
Another super cheap and easy alternative I turn to often is to just spray paint. Draw a design on posterboard or cardboard and cut it out as a stencil then spray paint it onto newsprint or whatever paper you're using. Use a projector to shine an image on a paper then trace it with markers or whatever too.
Also, get creative. I've pasted target practice posters, newspapers, anarchist zines, eviction notices, etc. Just experiment. And get weird with it
You can put it into a program called a rasterbator. (Yeah, I know, the name sounds weird.) It's a great way to print out posters on a home printer without using too much ink.
It basically renders the image with small colored dots like you see in newspaper print, then it splits the image into pieces that you print out then tape together.
Here's just one example, don't know how well it works, but you can find more on google.
I just printed it with a standard printer at work on thicker, normal business paper.
I used https://rasterbator.net/ to make it as a big poster pdf and just glued it together on an old risk board.
didnt show anything, not looking to buy a poster. Looking for high resolution elton john photos to rasturbate a block poster. i.e make my own check out this site it's free and what im using to make https://rasterbator.net/
Just got this for Christmas. I'm running it for my friends as my first time as a DM. We made characters last week and they chose to complete the Umbrage Hill quest off the chore board. I fudged the CP of the combat about halfway through because I was worried that it might wipe out my precious little baby lvl 1s. I'm definitely going to check out your guides before our session tomorrow (If the impending snowstorm doesn't change our plans) I have used https://rasterbator.net/ to print off maps for Dwarven Excavation and Gnomengarde.
I use this site: https://rasterbator.net/ . You upload the image and it will generate a PDF that you can then print, cut out, and tape together. Paper size, margin size, etc are all customizable. Also, be sure to select the option for Style - No effects.
I've used https://rasterbator.net/ before. Please, rest assured, this is a legitimate site (despite the name XD ). Scale it up to how many printed out pages you want it to take up and go from there. Works pretty well, but you definitely want to make sure your images are high res.
https://rasterbator.net You upload an image, tell it how large you want to print it, what size paper you are using and it will scale the image up, print it across multiple pages and you then glue/tape them together for a poster/wall sized print.
There isn't much you can do. When you watch something like CSI and they take a little image and blow it up 100x and make it look good, that's impossible to do in real life.
That said, try printing it at 4x6 and 5x7. It should be okay. 8x10 will be a bit of a stretch but depending on how far away you're standing, it might still work.
Another option is to do something stylistic with them. Back in the day when I was poor and had access to a laser printer, I blew up a bunch of low quality images to wall sized with this tool:
I'm not an artist and can't support HK with artwork like this; but I do know my way around vector graphics:
I remade this image in SVG, Ai, and EPS formats for large scale printing
If anyone wants to blow up any image that isn't saleable i suggest trying rasterbators; a system that inflates images using dots Example here
SVG can also be used in CNC for milling and lazer cutting.
idposter.com you can upload your own and have them ship it to you but it's pricey.
rasterbator.net allows you to print out your own images at whatever size you like, just takes a little work to put together but if you're gooning the extra work is like a tribute to your goddess
if you can find an image off the internet that you like, you can run it through https://rasterbator.net/ and print out a wall sized version in 8.5x11 chunks to throw your darts at.
might be an option if the road maps at the gas station aren't to your liking.
Also, if you don't have PS (GIMP may have this feature, IDK I bought a couple dungeon makers and project to a TV) you can always use the Rasterbator
​
Link is totally SFW, just a great free service that will enlarge any pic and scale it to print out.
this is a good place to print 8.5x11 pages that can be fit together like a poster. I have several in my room and you can only tell they’re individual pages if you’re standing close. As for getting the artwork made I’d just make a post on Upwork.com and offer like $30
