Tiles keep printing too big

[Ryno]

I tried printing some tiles by Dewayne Agin. I tried the 3-square wide rooms and the arena and they're all gigantic. I used Photoshop and made sure they were 100% size. I'm wondering, has anyone by chance made a Photoshop document for a 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of paper with guides built in?

The main reason is that printers (and software) tend to confuse dots-per-inch (dpi) with pixels-per-inch (ppi). When using Photoshop, ensure the width and height dimensions are proper. For HeroQuest, each square is approximately 2.25 cm (I recommend setting your grid preferences to this). Save a copy as PDF too. If you print from a PDF, the Adobe Reader software should print them properly without confusing dots and pixels.

I've always had making PDFs of each of the tiles available here, but they've been further down my to-do list due to storage space. Now that we're at our new host, I'll get to work on them this month.

Thanks so much, I think I have things setup properly now!
