Flip-Mat conversions to Foundry Scenes

[poindexter1985]

Has Paizo ever considered releasing their Flip-Mats as digital content packaged specifically for Foundry?

I won't speculate on the financial side, as I have no idea what Paizo could realistically expect for sales, but I feel like there's at least some market, since there are 3rd party content creators selling Foundry maps.

However, it recently dawned on me how odd it is that I have boxes full of Paizo encounter maps that have seen extensive use for D&D, but since switching to Pathfinder and relying more on virtual tabletops, I've become *less* inclined to use Paizo maps.

I've been buying Paizo flip-mats since 2009, back when I was GM'ing a D&D 4e campaign, and have continued expanding the collection for my DM to use in the 5e campaign I played in. But since getting in to PF2e, for which I've become a bit more Foundry-first in terms of how to run the game, it's all about collecting Foundry scenes from 3rd parties like Brave New Worlds. The only Paizo maps I've used in Foundry are the ones in the Foundry adventure path modules.

I'd certainly pay to get all those maps conveniently pre-packaged with walls and lighting for use in Foundry.

Paizo/Metamorphic - Please look at this thread!

This actually something we've talked about quite a bit!

The main reason we haven't tried anything yet was actually brought in the original post: there are tons of 3rd party creators out there making awesome maps already, many of them with Foundry support already built in, and it would be difficult for us to sell, say, a pack of 25 Flip-Mats rigged up as ready-to-go Foundry scenes at a price point that could compete with any number of $5-per-month Patreons that offer literally years of archived monthly releases. The closest we've come is the Flip-Mats we include with each Pathfinder Society scenario, which obviously offer extra value because they're being offered alongside adventure content written specifically to use them.

We're always open to new ideas, though, so who knows, maybe sometime in the future!
