Once I saw their first free map (The Hall of the Well - coming soon to Paizo.com) and discovered that they were from Hungary and that English was their second language, I volunteered to be their copy editor.

I love these guys. Their maps are amazing, they are incredibly humble, and ridiculously hard workers. I want them to succeed, and I think selling their maps on Paizo.com is the right move for them.
<br />
That being said, I can't possibly give an unbiased review for the review page, so I'll tell you about the battlemaps here, and if anyone has any questions for me, I can pull up the map on my computer and get back to you.</p>

<p>Pirate and Ghost Ship is HUGE. Both the Pirate Ship map and the Ghost Ship map are 3 levels each, and each level is made up of 10 printed, DETAILED color pages. They add up to three 36" x 16" maps for Pirate Ship, and three 36" x 16" maps for Ghost Ship. They also include a map of both versions of the captain's cabin and even a map of a small crow's nest. Included are versions of the maps with water and without water. The guys suggest printing the cargo deck level with water, and then print the two upper decks without water, so you could lay the upper decks on top of the cargo hold as characters move from level to level.
<br />
Another unique feature of Lord Zsezse Works maps is that you can toggle on or toggle off the 1" grid. With this map, the only layers that you can turn on or off are the gridlines and the background. With the background on, the instructions look like weathered parchment, without the background, it's white for less ink-consuming printing. Other maps I've seen of theirs allow you to toggle traps, secret doors, lighting effects, and designs on tombstone covers. </p>
<p>The Ghost Ship appears weathered and barnacle encrusted, and nearly everything on the ship that isn't part of the actual ship itself shows up as a ghostly afterthought. Blades, rope, cannons, hammocks, sextants... all have a translucent green glow.</p>
<p>And the thing in the captain's cabin in the coffin...
<br />
It's creepy looking at it in the regular pirate ship map.
<br />
When you look at it in the ghost ship map, it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. </p>
<p>That, right there, is the source of evil on that damned ship.</p>
