| | Does anyone here have any Paizo maps and can they tell me their opinion on them and how they work for DND Minis?
My non-so-local gaming store has a few for sale, and they looked pretty good to me, but they were in the package, so I couldn't really determine the quality. The squares also looked slightly smaller than they should be, but it might have just been me not having anything to compare it to.
Thanks!

| | My group has used one of the paizo game mastery maps for our D&D sessions and it has worked out great. The only problem we had was that it did not unfold very flat at first (due to the lamination) and we had to weigh down places to flatten it while we played on it. Otherwise, no complaints at all. | | | |

| | Never used them, but would be interested to hear how the work out for others. They look neat! I have all the dungeon tiles. | |

| I've used the cathedral for excellent effect, and am prepping up a game to use the mountain pass. Except for the little bit of poof from the lamination I find them very useful depending on the situation.Â

| I use the plain grid map with dry erase markers; it's one of the best gaming purchases I've made. As said, new maps don't lie flat due to the lamination but with use, that problem goes away. I also have one of the forest maps that I use periodically. Regards, V | |

| | I love these maps. I've found if you fold them backwards, against the folds when you first take them out of the package it greatly speeds up their flattening. | |

| I have the Game Mastrey Complete Encounters with the awesome figs by Dennis Mize.
Those included in the product (tiles) look pretty cool for RPG. | |

| | The large laminated maps look nice and have good lamination cover. You can usually get them flat after some trying and then roll them up for storage. My only problem is where the fold lines are on some of mine the lamination has cracked letting the ink bleed inside. This leaves permanant marks and some bubbling along the lines. If you ignore it its not a huge deal though. | |

Totally agree, I used to have a map which was easier to roll up, but that was water erase only. what an annoyance that was in session!
