Flip maps and map packs


Accessories


Is it really too much to ask for to have a flip map or a map pack available for purchase to go hand in hand with the modules and PFS scenarios?

I spend more prep time drawing out maps for modules and scenarios that have beautiful maps already made in the documentation but are not usable for players because of the needed GM marks.

Buying the map saves me a ton of prep time vs. drawing my own (and mine never look as good as what is in the books).

If you purchase the PDF editions of our products (or, as many do, get them free as subscription benefits), you can extract the maps without the map tags.

That said, you will see pixelization if you blow them up to 1"=5' scale, because making all the maps at that scale is cost-prohibitive. See this post for further explanation.

On the other hand, if they link the monthly adventure path to the current release Flip-Mat and/or Map Pack sets, then you could end up with a situation like the Rise of the Runelords Anniversary edition where the maps used are sold out, and the module is still on sale.

Except when that does not work as in the case of The Dragons Demand...the images extract but the tags stay...

Which method are you using to extract the images? using the image extractor (click on my name for the link) or nitroPDF the dragon's demand maps come out without Gm markups

I get a 404 error on the link and I have not gotten a hold of Nitro yet...
