April 2010! no no no...I need this now
Wow. Sounds cool. Lots of marine/ dock type items now. I'm not sure I need this many but I can find uses...
I can delay my groups trip to the Isle of Dread until April - no problem! ;-)
Glad someone is making these finally - I can't believe the only way to get this out of WotC is through an RPGA promo. This would be their #1 seller imo if released under their Dungeon Tiles line.
If you put a sheet of clear plastic on top of them they are dry eraseable!
I'll also note that I accidentally wrote on one with dry-erase marker and since it was fairly shortly after I'd written on it, I was able to rub it off with no lasting mark/damage to the map card.
Which to be clear, does not mean you can or should write on them with dry-erase markers, but that should you happen to, it will rub off if you're fast enough.
I would be happy to pay extra--to an extent--if map-cards came pre-laminated, especially since I usually use them in conjunction with flip maps.

Just laminate them yourself. Wal MArt has a nice sized roll in the Kitchen section for covering your shelves at a decent price, and it goes a long ways.
Just be careful as you do it so you don't get too many air bubbles or creases. I hate the creases the most. Even then, depending on the crease, you can probably cut it out with an exacto knife or similar.
The surrounding border of the ships will match the texture of the Waterfront tavern EXACTLY. I'm working on the Pirate ship now!
Hehe, this was my 100th post! Yeah me.
I would really need all the maps as PDFs. That way I could use them in d20Pro.
Preview tiles will be up soonish.
Now-ish.
The water background is the same texture and tonal value of the Waterfront and Waterfront Tavern, so the boats will work nicely with them and on the flip-side. I'm excited to get my hands on this one next month.
Got these in the mail the other day. They are very nice. I can see getting alot of use out of these, you never know when you need a small boat, and if your player's get a "wild hair" and decide to get on a ship...
I like that you can build at least 3 large ships at the same time, which makes naval battles a lot easier too!
Hey, I'm considering getting these for a pirate campaign, but I have one question. How do they work for ship to ship combat? In the previews it looks like they all have some amount of water tiles around them. If so, I'm not sure if they would be able to be set right beside each other for ship to ship combat and boarding. Is that possible with these tiles?

You could always just cut out the extra space around the ships. More work for you but easy enough.

Given that the larger boats mainly have fractional tiles around them, you could set up most pairings within 5 feet of one another.
Are the squares on these sized for miniature combat? Anyone know?

Yes the 1" squares overlayed on the image are perfect for miniatures.
Pssst! Pie-zoh... When are the rest of these going to be released as PDFs? Take my money... PLEASE! :D

As Chris Lambertz gets time between working on new PDFs and stuff, she'll be going through the older Flip-Mat and Map Packs to make PDFs of them. But yeah, the new stuff has to come first.
Any chance this will be reprinted? I am running Razor Coast and need ships that I can move ASAP! If not, is there anything similar to this product?

Just as an FYI these are really easy to print out on a personal printer and then getting them laminated some where. They will be a little thicker then a typical map pack but be pretty much the same quality and usefulness :)
That is the beauty of buying the PDF of these. That and you can print out multiple copies of the ones you want... so if you need more then one raft or barge you can print them out. You don't even have to laminate them if you would rather save the money and just reprint as needed. I have printed them out on cardstock as needed and it works out wonderfully :)
