Ok, this looks super cool. I hope we get more map sets like these, and please let there be labels for major (non-spoilery) sites so that they can be useful.
Description says 7 poster maps but then lists only 6. Please let # 7 be Cassomir with a new map. As mentioned in another thread, this city is an excellent home base but the 1e map looks like a way smaller town.

From reading the description, the seventh map is of the Shining Kingdoms region itself, all six nations together.
This is pretty cool. having a map of a city really helps with both homebrew and AP games.

Oh yeah, you're right, I missed that. A big regional map makes tons of sense and I am all for it, cool.
Though on the other hand, the Lost Omens: Shining Kingdoms book already promises "a gorgeous fold-out poster map to serve as a centerpiece to any Shining Kingdoms campaign", so it will be interesting to see if there is a difference. I bet the one that comes with the book is more of a traditional style map like the ones in LO:WG and LO:TXWG and the regional map in the map archive is one of those more stylized style maps like a character might find in game (and like many of the 1e map folios included).
Do we know what size these will be?
Are map packs a new (and continuing) part of the Lost Omens subscription? I can't remember any in the past that weren't included in/with a book. Can we expect more map packs with the subscription in the future?
Related, but different, there was a map that came with the Shining Kingdoms book. It's not repeated in this set is it?

This one is new, and we're excited to see how much you all like it! We're currently assessing reception of this one before we make more!

The third sample in the listing is the map that's included in the Shining Kingdoms Special Edition.
One thing y'all missed is that this isn't included in the Special Edition version of the subscription. Kind of sad that I'd have to buy it twice to get the PDF version because I subscribe to the Special Edition version of Lost Omens vs the regular version.
This was an oversight! I'll reach out to the team and get back to you when able. Thank you for pointing this out!

It'd be super cool to have these maps as a Foundry VTT release with Journal notes pointing to content about each place from the books

The team says this is definitely something they've considered and may consider again depending on how things shake out with other products!

Queue me up as a purchaser for this as well from Foundry. Running a sandbox game in Golarion would be so much easier if we had maps available with preloaded journal entries, especially for the cities. For larger cities I feel like it would help to even have district maps with shops prepopulated that the PCs can visit.

This is helpful for us in making these decisions! Thank you!!
Nothing against these maps in particular, but it does seem odd to include them in the Lost Omens subscription rather than the Maps one.
