Love this! I will use this when I run ROTRL. Wish they would do this with Skulls & Shackles.

I don't own this one but have played on it during a game my friend ran. Love this map it makes a great lair for a dragon or a primitive temple (think Temple of Doom). The other side is just good terrain for a variety of uses. I'll be scoring this one for sure!

This map is excellent. You could run an entire dungeon crawl with this one map (both sides).

Great detail and outstanding cartography. I highly recommend this product!

The art work is too clean on this one. The river water should be murky, not like the Caribbean. The bridge is also in perfect repair and the trees remind me of train table trees. It would have been nice to have a river that was wider across too. There could have been some large rocks in the water to become encounter points.... PCs could jump to and battle on, rather than one choke point on a bridge. The back side of the map could have featured something more varied and exciting like the river's source- say a wide pool at the base of a rocky waterfall.

All the same,, I can't find it in me to give Paizo less than three stars for the maps they put out. You can always find a use for them even if they aren't your favorite and the prices are so reasonable that there is no reason for GM's to be under stocked when it comes to terrain!

Don't get me wrong... I'll be using this map quite a bit. The side without ruins is pretty versatile but, for a swamp map, it doesn't look particularly swampy. The Witchlight Fen tiles from D&D did a better job on that account, although the water in that tile set was pretty blue!

The fact that this map was marginally swampy looking is a secondary complaint to the cartoony look to the cartography. Later Paizo maps- particularly by Jason Engle- have more of a realistic look to them.

For the price they ask, you aren't wasting your money on this map. I knew what I was getting before I picked it up and went ahead anyway.
