I've noticed that some of these grids have been fixed for the 2e release but there are other maps, such as Floor 3 at the House at the Edge of Time, which have not been fixed.
This makes it rather difficult for usage on Virtual Tabletops and just plain annoying when printing them out for in-person play.
Is this an oversight, and is there a chance that maps may be corrected in the future for later prints or digital releases?
Other than that, loving the new version of Kingmaker and I cannot wait to see what Paizo has in store for 2023-2024.
It was a necessary evil. Building this took a LOT of money and a LOT of time, more than we anticipated, and so we had to make some tough choices. At one point, ordering all new maps for the entire book was considered, but that would have been far too expensive—especially considering that we had to make that choice at the height of the pandemic when shipping and paper costs and a lot more were in a place that made it a distinct possibility we'd have to maybe cancel the entire thing or delay it for many years rather than one or two.
So we ended up going with the original maps for the most part. We did what we could to address issues with them (the biggest one being a horrible pritner error in book 5 of the abbey), but not all of them got that treatment.
We have no plans to adjust the maps for future reprints of Kingmaker.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed, but I completely understand why Paizo has done what they've done. Art is expensive and costly, and when you consider the cost of one map and then multiply that cost by x times, it ends up being quite enormous.
We really appreciate the effort that has gone into this AP, and I'm thankful Jacob that you take the time to communicate with the community about the questions we have.
Have a good day! :)
