I laughed heartily when I heard about this product, but it's a great idea. It never occurred to me to have a battle in a rope trick's space! (Here's hoping the map is more interesting than a formless gray area with some wisps of clouds in the corners and a rope in the middle.)
Aw, crap. Did my concept sketch get out? Hehehe, kidding. This come after the next Map pack for me.
Hi, Corey, If possible, I actually have a request here.
I once designed an adventure with a battle in an extradimensional space which, with the introduction of the party, had suddenly exceeded its weight limit, and which started collapsing during the fight.
If you could rig one of the tile sets so that the space could get tighter each round -say, as the tiles overlapped more and more the picture looked good for as long as possible- that would be outstandingly cool.
The meeting to concept this was a good one. There are some good surprises in store for this Map Pack. Definitely a unique set of tiles for this one.
Most people are buying two or three of these, so you can have a Genie Bottle Interior inside of a Genie Bottle Interior, inside of a pocket dimension.
etc..
Plus, you can stack them and move in three dimensions, while in extra-dimensions.
Sorry, Chris. The spec list from the editors is pretty stiff when we have our initial meeting for these sets top review the content needs. I CAN say that I am delivering in the final art for this set this evening and it is one of my favorites from the entire line. I am, in fact going to be making prints from some of the tiles from this set. Good stuff. I'm looking forward to this release.

I look forward to this map pack, as I can recall a few times where some smack should've been getting thrown down in certain extradimensional spaces. The genie bottle one could come in handy for Legacy of Fire.
Now all we need is a spell or two to provide egress into said bottle. Hubba hubba ...
You mean "entry to said bottle"...egress is the other way.
Thematically gaseous form should do the trick, assuming the bottle is open.

Egress, ingress, access ... open sez me ^_^
Several of us believe that if we offered our Map Packs in PDF form, a significant number of gamers would choose the PDF edition exclusively over the print edition, which would mean smaller print runs for the print edition, which—since print costs are based largely on volume—would in turn mean higher costs for the print edition, which would lead to even smaller sales for it, which would mean we wouldn't have a profitable line anymore.

I believe that too. How about PDFs only for subscribers? It's pain to scan and combine these (even more so with flip-mats...) to use in MapTool. I know it's selfish but we use these 95% in digital form anyway...
How about PDFs only for subscribers?So Vic, is this also totally unthinkable?
I think that offering them as PDFs to anyone opens up a big can of worms.
Here's just one: Subscribers to our Pathfinder lines get PDFs of only the products they receive as subscribers. Assuming that policy held for GameMastery maps, that means there would be no way to get PDFs of older products. And if that policy didn't hold—say we let subscribers buy PDFs of *any* maps—what's to keep people from subscribing, buying all the PDFs, and canceling their subs, repeating every few months to ensure that the get all the PDFs and as few of the print copies as possible? And before anyone suggests some plan that limits the number of PDFs you can buy by tying it to the number of print copies you've received as a subscriber, while that may be clever and perhaps even fair, it's also a horror to explain and a pain to code for.
Ultimately, I think any plan that involves limiting whom we sell PDFs to will cause more customer frustration than it solves.

That's a really good point. I could see this done only by giving PDFs only to subscribers and only when new product is released. But I see your point. <<warms up scanner again...>>
