This map really jumped out and grabbed me when I took my first look at it. Especially with the lighting and color tone. I’m used to forest maps either being green and vibrant or dark and spooky, and this dusk/fall/decrepit map is just something you don’t get to see very often.

This isn’t a map you would use often, I would wager, but for that one scene that this was perfect for, it would have a huge impact, and I’m already thinking about how to plan for such a scene at my table.

The product is designed to be printed on standard US letter size paper at 8.5” x 11”, and they provide both color and black and white versions of the map. While the black and white version is a nice convenience to have… you would really be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t use this map in color.

Now, there are some downsides, which keep me from giving the product a full five stars. The first it isn’t as sharp as some other battle-maps when blown up to scale. It isn’t bad at all, and It is CERTAINLY better than I could manage by hand on a battle map, and for a buck I can’t complain too much, but compared to some of the other products like this I own it does stand out.

Secondly, I would have loved for there to be a high-res version of the map included so that it could be printed at a print shop without having to assemble the individual pieces.

And lastly, I would have like some cutting guides on the edges of the corners to make slicing the map on a paper cutter easier.

Overall though, this map is a great one to have and use, and for $1 you can’t really pass it up.

I was glad to see a product like this become available, and I hope to see a future version of this sheet some time later. It was functional and had quite a bit of features I was looking forward to, especially the notes sections such as campaign notes and session events.

The big problem is that the format of it doesn't lend well to use. The sheet is mostly crammed with white boxes with black outlines, and very little deviation from it to break up the data. It was too easy to loose your place when scanning it, and difficult to tell where the fields where and what they were.

I ordered 2: One for my game room, and I'm giving one to my FLGS.

This is really a great product, and I have loved it ever since picking it up! The coating makes it surprisingly durable, despite its light weight, and it works like a charm at the game table.

When I first purchased it I was worried it wouldn't lay flat after I opened it, but this hasn't been the case at all. In fact I've found it even easier to use than my traditional mat! And the ease in which it folds down really helps keep the game room clear when it isn't needed anymore.

My only dislike of it is that it is very slick. Minis and Dungeon Tiles alike slide across this mat with the slightest bump. This is easily countered with some preparation on the DM's part (poster putty, non-slide rubber mats, etc...)

Overall, this is a fantastic purchase for any DM, especially one who travels quite a bit.
