We definitely need to fix that. It might take us a little while, but look for images of every tile in every map pack to be added to the site in the near future.

Excellent, excellent, excellent ....... I cannot believe my timing as I was just logging onto the site to ask for this very thing. I am dying to buy some of these map packs, but want to see what they look like first so I know which ones I need.
Thanks so much, and please hurry with those previews! But please give us previews of all of them from each pack, not just one or two from each pack ....
Or, better yet, send them all to me and I'll scan them in for you and send you the JPEG's.
Anxiously awaiting ....

I've seen these at the semi-local game store (about 60 miles away), but was curious how do these map packs compare to say the WoTC map tiles packs? I have those & in a way want to get one, but 1)have a hard time deciding which one to get (got no real reason to one any specific one right now) 2)don't want to blindly buy one just to have one).
thanks

I just received my Map Pack: Sewers and Map Pack: Temples sets today, and I think they're great!
They're more like a heavy cardstock then the thicker Dungeon Tiles from WoTC, but the Map Packs are more creative and usable for specific situations. For example, in the Map Pack: Temples pack, there is a fantastic HEALING TEMPLE that will have great use as well as a very-well done CULTIST WAREHOUSE and SPIDER GOD CAVERN.
I have all 10 Map Packs that Paizo's published so far in two 5 x 8 memo-sized notebooks (in plastic sleeves from Century Business Solutions. I had to add 25 extra sheet protectors to each memo book so that each book would hold 5 sets of Map Packs (they're 18 5x8 sheets in each Map Pack but 20 sheets all together with the front and back cover sheets).
It's great fun to leaf through both memo books and pick out just the right tiles for use. And the latest ones, Temples and Sewers are a couple of Paizo's best so far!

Another option, if you happen to have access to a laminating machine, is to laminate them. That will protect them from wear and tear, and you can also draw on them with overhead felts, then erase afterwards.
*Of course, it took me the better part of an afternoon to laminate ~150 tiles and then organize them into convenient categories for easy availability during play... but it was worth it ;-)

In the meantime, feel free to look here:
Click on the various Map Pack Gallery links on the right.
Hey Vic, would you mind adding a list of the locations to the product page like you have for the other map packs (except the modular Sewers)?

you know I totally forgot I asked that question in this post, but thanks for the responses. I had in my hand the campsite one at my game store yesterday but put it down in favor of the combat pad. I still might get the temple one when I put a order in from some minis here in a couple days, mainly cause I'd like to have one for the inside of the Sandpoint Cathedral.

Rather than spam the same question to every single product thread, next time it would be better to start a thread here and ask the question once.

Was this feature ever added to the website? I can't seem to find previews for the MapPacks and I'm trying to figure out which one (Temples or Ruins) will serve my needs better.
