I know this will sound like a weird request... But does anyone know where I could get something like that so I can print it off? The reason I ask is because I like to do a lot of my drawings by hand, then trace over them using my bamboo tablet. I have found (and printed) regular isometric graph paper which is good for some design, but I don't think it will fit the metrics needed for my game.

2:1 Isometric drawings...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_graphics_in_video_games_and_pixel_art

It's where the slope of the bottom two lines is 1 rise for every 2 run.

Could you not knock one up as a template using maybe something like illustrator or photoshop? I could if you wanted. I'll see what I come up with now I understand what you're after...

EDIT:


Added mid-lines too...

EDIT2:

For more detailed drawings...


Both are 512 x 512 and can be stuck together in any program before printing out. I hope this is what you're after...
