Me, too! Me, too! Back in April, Lisa said that you guys were considering selling PDF versions of the map packs and other maps. I would LOVE that!

The only thing that could bring it back to the table is if sales of the printed products were to increase enough that we'd be willing to risk a loss of sales.

What if the pdf's were only available to folks who pre-ordered the actually cardstock map packs? Or create a subscription and make the pdf's available to subscribers only?

Would it be possible to offer it as a download only for those who purchased the printed products? I mean, people who buy the prints can always scan the products for themselves, but I'd be willing to buy the paper if I knew I could get the high quality 'trons, as well. I do realize there's a risk of piracy, here, and I'm not sure how to get around that one. I just hate the thought of losing the resolution by using my own scanner to get electronic versions of these awesome maps.

I personally would pay good money for miniatures scale maps for the adventure paths. I print them out at a copy shop on a plotter, and pay dearly for a low resolution A0 print. I can see myself buying a tube of high resolution maps for an AP for a hundred dollars. Maybe I am alone in that.

An adventure path costs $120. I would easily spend another $120 on themed map packs, flip-mats and item card decks for each adventure path.

Even at $260, an adventure path is still one of the best bang-for-your-buck ways to spend an entertainment budget. And $120 of that would be non-essential.

Seriously paizo people, listen to us. You aren't soaking us for even HALF the money you could be. We are fools with our money! TAKE IT! TAKE IT ALL!

You could always offer the pdf versions only to the customers that bought the print versions through your online store. That maintains your print run size and encourages direct sales.

Edit: Whoops, didn't see Mosaic and Paris' posts. Yeah...what they said.

What about an option to get the PDF as an additional download with the purchase of the printed version?

As a DM who plays in a conference room at work, I like to have all my materials on my laptop rather than having to lug around tons of maps, cards, books, etc., just for what *might* happen. (I have enough stuff to carry just for what I have planned for the night's session.) Having a few more maps stashed away could keep me from getting caught offguard while also keeping me from breaking my back.

Just a thought.

Any chance of the Paizo guys adding a small image preview of these map packs?

I'd like to see just a few images, to see if this is indeed something I can use, and also to compare with WotC's Dungeon Tiles (who would also benefit from a small preview.)

Hi... I am from germany and bought the cavern-set. Right know I have alle game mastery maps. But in the cavern set is something which I do not understand. On the back cover you describe "Twisting Corridors"...?!?!?... which tiles are the twisting corridors? the cavern peaces? One Tile shows an entrance to a hill or something with a wooden sign on the left. Which one is that?
I would be helpful if you make some sample pictures which tile is for what. Most of the time it is clear but sometimes I have to think about which function this tile is describe...? I hope you understand what I mean. My english grammar is not the best... :(

Hi... thanx. :)
Are this image official? Do you have such images for every map-pack?

We did have a meeting in which this was discussed. If we offered PDFs of our map products, a number of customers who are currently buying the printed products would switch to buying them instead of the printed products. Obviously, we can't know for sure how big that number is, but several of us believe that it's high enough to impact the sales of the printed products to the point where we would have to do smaller print runs. Since smaller print runs mean higher costs, that could cause the line to become unprofitable. So for now, it's off the table.

The only thing that could bring it back to the table is if sales of the printed products were to increase enough that we'd be willing to risk a loss of sales.

So... no low res previews yet? =/

Will be be preview pictures for this product?

I noticed the weird tile mentioned in Zuxius' review too, it really seems out of place in ths iset. What is it supposed to be?

Courey, can you perhaps comment on that?
