Neat! So now those who purchase only the physical AP books can benefit from the interactive maps. I'm glad that you are continuing to send the interactive maps with the PDF's.
I had an OMG moment where I thought, "Oh no! Does thim mean I'm going to have to buy the interactive maps separately?" Then I read the description and breathed a sigh of relief.
I dont understand this product ... Why would someone need the maps at the same scale as in the AP? Why would you not release them in a printer friendly battle map size?

These maps can display both including and excluding GM info like secret doors, and also with or without labels.
As for why not release them at battlemat scale, the pixellation quality would suffer massively.

The maps ordered for the Adventure Path line are not created at a battle map size. The purpose of this product is to provide toggled views of the maps to aid those using maps in VTTs or other projects without the need for them to manipulate them on their own. It is also provided as a separate product for those who have not purchased the PDF version (which already includes the Interactive Maps file for that volume).
I guess that just does not fit my play style. I would normally never show my players a map of the dungeon anyway. Normally one of the players maps it out as they go.
Seems redundant to me to have a map at the same scale as I would already have ... and what is VTT?

I plan on printing these out at work on our A3 color laser (after breaking the maps into several A3 pages). Yes, they will be terribly pixilated, but it will provide the battle map we need and save me from wasting time drawing a version of the map on a generic flip-map. Scrap paper (old maps, character sheets, etc.) can easily be used to create fog of war by covering up portions of the map.
The product I really want is nice quality battle maps (physical not PDF) for the APs. I'd buy that in a second.

This is why we don't make those.

Thanks for the reply!
I think I should have studied cartography instead of music and literature.
Okay. I'll keep printing at work. :-)

If you mean for a player to reference as they play, yes... but note that until you have the right buttons pressed, they display GM info like secret rooms and map tags.
If you mean for the GM, probably not—digital image extraction works better on the original PDFs than on the Interactive ones.
You will recieve a part of these maps, when you buy a book from Reign of Winter AP.
Confirmed for Snows of Summer
Correct, hence why "Note that the Interactive Maps for each individual volume of the Adventure Path are already included with the PDF edition of the corresponding book, so if you already have the full set of Reign of Winter PDFs, you do not need this collection." is in the product description. There are no maps in this product that are not in the AP PDFs. The Map Folio is not included in this product, nor in the AP PDFs.
