Just out and already out of stock? :(

I think there's a database mistake here, the release date seems to be missing. Usually map folios come out around the time of the last issue of an adventure path.

I thought that was a different kind of release, poster maps made available for us to drool upon in anticipation of Kingmaker :)

The release date had been set to July 2009. I don't have the product schedule handy at the moment but I'm guessing it oughta be 2010 instead, so I changed the date.

I hope that the new direction of Map Folios will make them more useful than the current ones ...

What's in this product? Maps of course but what maps? Are they maps that are in the AP books that more detailed or are they maps that expand what is shown in the AP books? Or are these more like the map packs?

"Four poster maps represent the Stolen Lands, the region Kingmaker players are destined to rule, with huge posters of the war-torn bandit town of Pitax and the lost village of Varnhold rounding out this beautiful collection"

So, I think you're getting around six poster maps, four for the Stolen Lands, and one each of the two areas mentioned :)

With this product we're moving away from the 15 page collection of map reprints that the other map folios have done. This'll have six four-panel poster maps in it—two of cities and four of the wilderness region the AP takes place in. No reprinted dungeon maps at all.

Are some of these going to be usable as battle mats? I figure at least one will be a country/ area map for overland travel and maybe one a city map but is at least one a grided battlemap?

What? Now I'll have to reconsider my subscription to Chronicles.

Two will be poster maps of cities (such as those we recently did in the Cities of Golarion map folio or the map of Katapesh in the Legacy of Fire folio). The other four poster maps will be big maps of the region the PCs are going to be adventuring in and eventually ruling. They'll probably have big one-inch-wide hex grids too.

The battle mat niche is already filled by our flip map and map pack product lines. Producing battle mats for locations from Adventure Paths is not something that we have the resources to pull off at this time.

I'll admit to never having used the dungeon maps, but I just hope that we don't lose some of the more useful (to me) maps in this transition. I used these map folios generally for player handouts, Fort Rannick and the Turtleback Ferry region being the most useful. Same with the Castle Korvosa and that town from LoF#1. So if it serves those purposes I'll be very happy.

Finally poster maps. Now I will actually be happy to buy this books. Before I wasn't a big fan, sure it was handy but I could just print them from the AP books. Now with poster maps it fills a wanted niche, for me anyways.

I like this change a lot, more value for money!
