I agree with everyone regarding not getting a PDF when you buy the book. I understand they want to use it as an incentive for their subscriptions, but I would be willing to pay an additional $5–10 for the PDF when I purchase the book.
With the country needing to isolate due to the pandemic, my group started using Roll20 so we could continue playing. Since I started using Roll20, I have been struggling with entering the maps and getting them lined up with the Roll20 grid. I finally realized that I could make a guide layout grid in Photoshop, so I thought I would do that with one of the maps to see how off the map grid was. I was shocked to discover how much the map grid was off. I took the map directly from the PDF into Photoshop and lined up the upper left corner of the top left square on the map grid with the Photoshop guide layout. Looking across the map, I found the map grid did not consistently line up with the Photoshop guide layout. The map grid would be off by as little as approximately .027 inches to as much as .107 inches. I tried making the same number of Photoshop guide layout columns that the map had, and I tried making the guide layout columns a consistent width, and it didn't matter. If I measured each box of one row on the map grid, the boxes would not be a uniform size. How do you make a map on a grid when the grid is not consistent? I have always been impressed with the quality of material that Paizo puts out, but discovering the inconsistencies on map grids is very disappointing.
Roll20 does not have maps for all of the APs. I am currently running Carrion Crown and it's not available. Trying to adjust the maps from the PDF in Roll20 has been a nightmare. I finally did a grid pattern guide in Photoshop and discovered the grid on the maps is not consistent! How do you make a grid for a map that is not consistent?!?
It is very annoying to have to do a complete login every time I come to the site to download and/or make a purchase. I should be able to check a box to remember me and only enter my password like Amazon.com instead of doing a full login each time.
I love the pawns and use them all the time. I would like to see Paizo create pawns for past Adventure Paths. Of course, I would vote to start with Carrion Crown since I'm currently running it.:-D Thanks.
