Given the wide availability of laptops easily connected to flat screen tv's or tablets at the game table is it not possible for Paizo to implement a web only player map so that the maps don't need to be printed at all.

Sell this digital map at a low $ amount for those that buy at their local store/dealer and those that buy direct it's part of their download section. (I envision $1 - $3) for the digital map.

While this won't work for everyone it should make a big enough impact in the market to effectively solve the issue for many people.

- This system will also give great insight back to the Paizo marketing department as they will be able to see the volume of traffic accessing the digital maps and then can decide which product was best received by the customer. A key point is noticing the longevity of certain maps. This could allow for better internal decisions on new paths and modules and opens up a new digital content revenue stream.

- The maps would not be downloadable/savable as the size on the screen it just wouldn't format or be easy to manipulate the product into a printer.

Besides, they're only four bucks! Can't go wrong, I say. Looks awesome as usual.

Not that I am complaining too much, I would think that a little cheaper would be better. In saying that.. it is a newish line and it has to develope a market.

After I have a go at making them I will give a review of my thoughts.

Well, Paizo needs to make money, so I think their cut is about a $1 or so, while the Dev`s (artists) make the rest but hold on. They need to pay taxes on all those earnings...

So $4 is a really good buy for the ability to print and print until you printer runs dry.

Hell these paper mini`s are so cheap when a player lets off a fireball I might just burn them on a pottery plate as an effect!

If I could post a request to the Artists, Could you do 12 (6) men and (6) women of a class for PC`s to pick from. So 12 rangers, 12 paladins etc for players to choose characters from.

Or maybe a race grouping...

I know a lot of the players I play with stick to just a few classes and I think it`s probably true for a lot of players
