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.
