Hum ... I feel a bit odd to have 2 flip-mat with the same name
we have now Basic Terrain and Basic Terrain (2024) , and then with the Space Station and Space station (2025), though the products are differents I really feel confused, I'd appreciate if you could think to other name or suffixes like "Second pack".
Using Second edition wouldn't be clever as those maps are edition-independant, aren't they ?
Are these actually different from the previous "Space Station" maps (1st edition)?

The description of this flip-map definitely does not match the original Space Station flip-mat.

This is a new map with the same name as the previous Space Station.
(Which is going to be frustrating for those of us who track the various flip mats used in scenarios.)
★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★
I can foresee some serious problems with this sort of naming.
PROBLEM 1:
"Hey, do you have Space Station?"
"Absolutely! I can bring it this Wednesday for you!"
But... it's the wrong flip-mat because neither the lender nor the lendee realized that there were multiple flip-mats with the same name.
PROBLEM 2:
They call their local game store asking for the flip-mat, then ask their spouse to pick up the flip-mat they ordered. The spouse picks it up and purchases it, not realizing that is the wrong flip-mat.
★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★
This is going to cause lots of confusion down the road.
May I echo the call and request that names going forward be slightly different than the names of existing maps? It would have been fine if this was 'Space Station 2'.
Thanks so much for listening Paizo Friends!

Thank you for looking into this, Maya! I just want some way of distinguishing between flip-mats, since I run a flip-mat lending library for Minnesota Organized Play.
(The library is composed of multiple GMs that own flip-mats and we make sure that people know whom they can borrow from. It's decentralized, but it works.)
If we get too many name repetitions, things will get frustrating fast!
Hmm

It was a totally valid thing to point out to us, Hilary! Thank you for letting us know, and I've given the info to the right people!
