I know that this will probably come up in the Aug 1 release but as a DM can I use the Critical Hit and/or Critical Fumble decks?
(the sneaky bastard in me loves some fumbles:) )

Roger that. In regards to battlemaps if we get the adventures early enough is it alright if I make color maps with Dundjinni?
In the interests of keeping the playing field level and fair, probably not. We can't expect every GM to have these tools.
oooohhh... Explain how you do that?.... Been looking for away to take the maps from the adventures and accuratly printing them up to Battlemap size...
Dundjinni does that?..
Not really - some graphics programs (GIMP, Photoshop, Fireworks) allow you to scale to larger size and then print in "poster" format which is how you could take a map from a Paizo AP (pdf) and scale it to 1" square size.
Dundjinni let's you create your own maps so what I'd do is create approximations of the maps from the modules. Since these are con modules I doubt we'll see full-color maps ala West or Lazzaretti.
As an example here's a work-in-progress for a 4e battlemap I'm working on titled Bandit Attack.
I'd make the maps in Dundjinni and then print them out, tape together and have'em ready for the con.

Probably for another thread, but I'll offer my $0.02: I've been a long-time user of Campaign Cartographer. CC3, the latest version, allows you to embed PNG files and work with them pretty easily. When I need to print scaled maps, I import the map image into a blank map file and use the measuring and scaling tools to resize the image so that the 5' squares are actually 5' squares. You can set up CC3 to print out the entire map on multiple sheet that you can then tape them together. Also, with the new graphics tools, CC3 can produce some pretty stunning effects. I'm still waiting for the City Designer update to be released, but here's a map I did of Falcon's Hollow. The buildings are a bit more "cartoonish" than they will be when CD3 is released, but the background and shadow effects turned out okay, I think.
But of course - that's what I'm talking about. If I can get it done quick enough I'll print out multiple copies and bring them along for anyone to use.
I tend to put mine under a flexible transparent cover (think clear battlemat) so I can use vis-a-vis markers on it.
Yes, as long as you're using them for personal use only and are just rebuilding them in Dundjinni. (And by personal use, I mean using them to GM PFS events.)Roger that. In regards to battlemaps if we get the adventures early enough is it alright if I make color maps with Dundjinni?

That's awesome. If anyone works up the scenarios 1 + 3 I'd love to get some map lovin' from ya.
