The title of the review says it all. This product only gets a star because the quality of the paper is good. Several (as in too many) of the maps that are in the splatbook arent even in there. No extra maps for some of the less important encounters (would have been nice to have some extras over the splatbooks). The maps are too small to be used with figurines. I wanted that product to save on drawing time. I wanted to pull out a beautiful map and lay it on the table and say "you guys are there, place your figurines" instead i got some small loose sheets of paper with a crappy folder that wont even keep them from sliding out. Almost useless, very disapointed. I expect better out of Paizo

If you are curious about whether or not to buy this map folio, then I would advise you to save your money. I had hopes that there would be more than two useful maps, but I was very disappointed with what I paid for.
You get a map of the town, which is in the ROTR book, and you get a map of Varisia, which is also in your book, but at least they are blown up to an appealing size.

You can use the rest for kindling a fire. All the tiny maps are without use. This product should be about making the game easier, but it simply doesn't. All you really get out of it is a reference for your players to know where they are at in town, or in Varisia. Save your money and get flip-mats instead if you must have already detailed maps.

Com a rápida popularização da linha Pathfinder (que nessa época era apenas o nome da publicação e não do sistema), houve a necessidade por demanda popular de uma segunda publicação onde se pudesse lançar material sobre o cenário que não necessariamente estivesse ligado as aventuras. Foi assim que surgiu o Pathfinder Chronicles (que mais tarde ainda se dividiria em outras linhas até virar o Pathfinder Campaing Setting).

A idéia por trás do Pathfinder Chronicles era de se publicar livros sobre o novo cenário da Paizo, Golarion. Inicialmente, havia uma inclinação maior para detalhar coisas ligadas a parte do mundo em que se passassem as aventuras lançadas naquele período (mas essa noção rapidamente foi abandonada). Sendo assim, a nova linha começou com essa compilação de mapas de todas as aventuras pertencentes a campanha Rise of the Runelords. Fora os mapas das aventuras compilados em papel A4, dois mapas tamanho posters também foram publicados, um mapa de Varisia e outro mapa de Sandpoint.

Surpreendentemente, a compilação não está completa. Justamente o mapa da única dungeon que era revisitada durante a campanha está ausente. O papel é bem fino e estraga muito fácil com uso continuo (com excessão dos mapas tamanho poster), e como os mapas vem com a legendas para uso do mestre, tem uso limitado para entregar ao jogadores. Contudo, não pode-se dizer que o produto não tenha suas utilidades. Quem apenas quiser os mapas como mapas genéricos de dungeons pode achar interessante, mestres com talento para editar imagens podem scannear e com os filtros corretos transformar em mapas cenográficos ou campos de batalha para tablets. Os mapas posteres, em especial o de Varisia tem grande utilidade em cenas de viagem deixando-o exposto para os jogadores.

Although a lot people in the other reviews say that the maps just aren't big enough to put mini's on or the map size's aren't big enough. While I do agree with them to that point. the rest of the maps that come with the 2 large maps are actually really nice. Yes you have to draw them out on a place-mate. oh well it doesn't matter you have maps for the entire damn campaign all 6 books. that means you don't have to cut out the maps from your setting book if you bought the pdf version and keep printing them out. I love how most of the maps came in, I can show my pc's where there heading and show them how long its going to take. Besides if you do it right your not in dungeons for very long if you know how to do it right. Besides you can add stuff in the map if you want. just adds more to your creativity.

I recently decided to start running Paizo's Adventure Paths and I am starting with Rise of the Runelords. I got excited when I saw this and thought it would be a great idea to have seperate maps for the game instead of drawing a map over and over. When this finally came in I was a little disappointed in what it contained. It has two poster size maps which are very nice, one of the town Sandpoint and one of Varisia, where the adventure path takes place. Note, the Varisia map has a couple discrepancies that the gazetteer in Pathfinder #3 corrects. The rest of the maps are all the same size as in the book. Now what I do is scan them in, paintshop over the room numbers and secret rooms/doors and then blow it up to 1" squares so it is mini friendly. While I enjoy the product after this, it is a little bit of a pain to do this work for something that should of already been done. They are also not including 2 of the dungeons for some odd reason. All in all, it is handy to have for reference but if you want to play with them you will need to do some creative editing.
