<p>I've considered the same, but the area is kind of small for that hex treatment. The hexes are 12-miles across, but each square on the Bloodsworn Vale map is only 2, so there might be some re-arranging required to keep things from winding up in a small number of hexes.</p>There's a treatment of the Hook Mountain area in one of the Wayfinders (#9?) as a Kingmaker-style exploration map.

<p>If you mean the former, you are correct. We can't charge less than the cover price for our own products in our webstore, or retailers would feel that we're undercutting them, and that would be a very bad thing. However, we hope that by adding the value of a free PDF version to our subscription (which is $12.99 plus shipping, by the way, not $13.99 plus), our customers are getting a decent value from us. (Many people also don't mind paying a little more to support the publisher directly.)</p>
<p>If you mean the latter, I don't think I've seen any full-color 32-page adventures selling for "well below" $12.99.</p>
