I'd love to see a new map come out that has a small town or village printed on it. This would be an asset to most RPGers I think. Maybe even with a multi level building or two on it for skirmishers that crave a place for archers to set up.

I don't think that one map is enough to hold even the smallest village. However, pre-designing the maps so they're able to form one large terrain is indeed a worthy goal.

Yeah, a village would be great.

I also wouldn't mind a campsite map, a pretty common place for wilderness fights to occur around.

Agreed, one map almost certainly wouldn't be large enough for even a small village, but any bits and pieces of a village that would show up in future maps would definitely be welcomed.

Well we're moving out of tiles, but wouldn't an outdoors map (or preferably two combined) with building -tiles have worked better? If tiles aren't used in skirmish anymore, they wouldn't have to be limited to 5x8 -sizes.

Check around on some websites. You might be able to find some free downloads of maps with 1x1 grids. Of course then you still have to print them.

Looking to buy some figures? Chances are I may have them!! Check here!!

That would be great, even if it was just bits and pieces of a town. It does get pretty bland just describing the town, or drawing out a small area for one battle.

Ok their called Gamemaster Game packs. They currently have ones for a village and ones for a graveyard. You arrange the tiles to suit your needs.
I think She said it was made by Piaoza (sp).

If I remeber correctly Red Hand of Doom has a village map in it. I'll look around to find some backing for that statement.

I would like a very large map for a town. Might be a bit impractical, but aren't the best things in life like that?

Actually, one of my friends has a nice town map that he got from a Dragon Magazine, if I recall.

It's a little longer than DDM maps, and it doesn't have many whole buildings on it. It's like a town center, with a well in the middle and a road going through the center of the town, and the edges of several buildings on the outsides.

Unfortunately I have no idea what issue it was in.

This would be great to know. I've been looking for just such a map (and Paizo always has back issues available).

Red Hand of Doom does have a village map in it but its not really pratical. The "village" is spread out in the woods.
