Does Matrix have a plan to sell, or include with the cd, a large map ?

There was a .PDF map that came with UV. I imagine there would also be a similar one with WitP, and that you could print it off just as easily.

Yeah, but it will not have the grid overlay.

Two maps, one pretty one, and a plastified one, to draw on with different colored markers.
Yeah [X(]Lots of different colored markers! Yeah!. Drool drool.

Print out the map, glue it to foam board, buy a card table, Plexiglas, and grease pencils and your good to go.

Kid, oh no, not the map crazyness starting again! You might need to post another shot of yourself holding up that large printout you had made!

Kid, didn't you mention that Matrix was going to be selling the map?

I plan on buying the map Matrix puts out (provided its released same time as the game - otherwise they probably shouldn't bother) and laminating it. Then I can draw on it with markers and such and just wash it clean. I work at a copy center and will be laminating it myself so it works perfectly [:)]

In UV, the map fitted neatly onto a A4 size page.

I tried to print it onto A3 size ( computer paper). But the text was fuzzy at that size.

WITP covers such a large area that a map at A4 size will not be useful.

The map is a series of 1500x1500 sections. Printing it out will not really help you as the locations are not *on* the map artwork itself.

I asked Joel about printing off some maps and selling them, he siad that it is something that they will look at but are not promising anything. I guess that it is a simply question of market forces....if enough people ask then there is a greater chance of it happening.

I'm thinking of painting the map on the wall of billiard/game room and hiring a Dana Wynter look alike to move the little flags around

Yes sure to an e-mail game. I agree IA usually sucks.
When is the game coming out?
