Pathfinder Lost Omens: City of Lost Omens Poster Map Folio

Thank you Aaron, email sent. I really appreciate Paizo's approach. Kudos.

Why is this being included in the Lost Omens subscription? I am not subscribed to Pathfinder Maps specifically because I do not want to purchase map portfolios.

I do want to add that Paizo Customer Service did remove this from my order and I appreciate Paizo's customer service for removing items like this. I do get it probably difficult to categorize this product in regards to subscriptions.

Can I get a wall to put this on?

Fortunately building walls is part of my job!

I am confused. I contacted customer service and was told that I need to cancel my Lost Omens sub for the time being. That also meant I lost Paizo advantage. I dunno, maybe not the best deal for me... Was the item removed from you just like that or is your sub also cancelled?

I was told the same thing, but I think I still have enough subscriptions to retain full Paizo Advantage.

But I could see some problems with the Pathfinder AP subscriptions if they don't budge on this policy, given that we are getting Quest of the Frozen Flame modules before the last Strength of Thousands module, and that that policy gives them no easy way to handle folks who are interested in one of these APs but not the other.

I actually did that too, we play in a homebrew setting and while I was happy to have City of Lost Omens as reading material, and to pull out bits and pieces for cities in my own setting, the map was a bit much for that. I'll be reupping my subscription for Knights of Lastwall for sure though.

I decided to keep my subscription for this, as a big fan of maps and plans I'm intrigued by the sheer size.

I just got the PDF as my subscriptions came through. The location numbers from the guide are all there. It is glorious. :)

Awesome, I was hoping it wasn'tjust the same map that came with the book printed bigger.

Nope! And there is a complete location index on the inside of the folio cover so it doesn't mar the map!

Wow. I feel like maybe they should've done some more marketing of this, I think if people knew what it was going to include (and that it wasn't just an enlarged version of an image we've gotten several times before) many more people would've been interested.

Designing this map is one of the things I'm most proud of doing in the last couple of years. I love that I got to put in every single building in the city and make it look like a real lived-in place considering the scale and population. Matthais did a wonderful job illustrating the map and working with him was great. It was like he knew exactly what I was going for in so many places, adding details that I intended but didn't explicitly ask for. I know it's not for everyone, but I think map nerds are going to love it.

The PDFs look great, but now I have a problem: how am I going to convince Mrs. Fumarole that these will look great mounted on the kitchen wall?

That's easy: include the wall mounting as part of a complete remodel of the entire kitchen, including all new appliances. :-)

A nit to pick: No. 148 The Northman’s Woodworks Galleria, is not actually on the map! The number is missing from both the map in the book and the map folio. Any ideas where the Galleria is located in the Ivy District?

**eye twitch**

Dangit! I coulda sworn I checked those tags like a dozen times.

Northman's Woodworks Galleria should be that large building in the middle of the block just north of Embrey's Armory on the same street right across from that park.

Thanks, Adam! Hey, these things happen! :)

I’m loving this! Nowhere to hang it though.

Out of curiosity, has Paizo ever considered making products like this, but using the manufacturing process and materials from the Flip Mat line?
It would be glorious! Just sayin…

This folio looks great. I'd love to be able to frame this and display it.

Back cover text:

You Are Here!
Explore the streets and scenes of the City at the Center of the World with the City of Lost Omens Poster Map Folio. Four folded 21.25" × 32.5" maps combine to create the largest city map ever published for Pathfinder, a wall-dominating work of art that immerses players within the intrigues and dangers of Absalom, Golarion’s most prominent metropolis.

Inspired by the Absalom: City of Lost Omens hardcover sourcebook, the City of Lost Omens Poster Map Folio presents finer detail than ever before for a city map. Whether you play through the Agents of Edgewatch Adventure Path, a Pathfinder Society Organized Play scenario, or a game
of your own creation, this map serves as the perfect accompaniment to a campaign set in Absalom.

A million fates await the heroes of Absalom, along with approximately the same number of buildings, monuments, temples, and taverns. Chart them all in meticulous detail with these gorgeous and gigantic poster maps!

We just dropped a pretty penny on new floors, I don't think a kitchen remodel is feasible. I'll have to think on this and work on my diplomacy skill.

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this. +1 Hero Point

Good luck! :-)

Has anyone popped this onto a VTT yet and if so how did it look?

Thanks

FWIW, I just exported each "page" of the map as a TIFF, and they are really high-res. I would think they would work great on VTTs, but haven't imported them yet.
