Last night, I stumbled upon (not for the first time) WETA's site, the guys behind LOTR and Hobbit.

I saw Thorin's map prop replica. What got me reading is the description of the printing and aging (distressing paper) process.

Here's the map:

Anyone has any experience with aging paper and or printing it out the same way that WETA does it?

The reason I'm asking is that we'd like to give a map parchment with Riftforge's map to the first X players. I'd love to be able to do something along the lines of Thorin's map, of course, without the $200 price tag.
