Any chance of PDF versions of the various map packs being for sale? Being an online player, I don't want to purchase hardcopy just to scan it.

Sincerely,

I also run a group online through Maptool, and would LOVE to have digital versions of these maps.

Consider this my vote!

I would subscribe to the Map Packs if I could get free PDFs like I do with Pathfinder and GameMastery. Actually, I'd do the same for Item Cards too.

I'll add a vote for PDF or better yet, PNG/JPG versions as well. Besides online gaming use, it would be handy in doing layouts ahead of time (and saving them for later), and for making a quick-and-dirty overlay (like obscuring sections, adding "NPC-furniture", or including "trap zones", rubble, etc.). Hardcopy-plus-digital purchasing would be perfect.

Just a note - all of you are subscribers: if you copy the maps from the PDF they do not have the tags, so can be used as the map pack. as I understand it, there are 2 image copy things using adobe, the snapshot, which grabs the room labels and any secret doors, and the select tool, which will grab the map without any of these tags on them.

if you then copy the selection and paste it into paint or another image editor you can save it into something maptool can use.

I'd love PDF versions too, if you can!

That only works for the specific maps in the adventures. The MapPacks are more generic and applicable to pretty much any setting, not just the ones in the Pathfinder modules.
