(This is a duplicate of my review for Combat Map Set 1)
This map pack is a bit like a stray shot. It was well-intentioned, but it missed the mark by a good little bit.
The included JPGs and PNG files are maps of the interiors of various westren buildings. Porches come as a independent file. The interiors are without a scale, but an included PNG file has the missing grid.
Thus, you will need a graphics program in order to create an interior with a grid. And you will need to expand the dimensions along one axis to leave enough space to add the missing porch - and the missing porches grid.
So if you bought this with the intent of using it for a VTT session, it might take a little work - or a lot of work if you are not comfortable with a graphics editor. I bought this to have quickly usuable interiors and I am somewhat annoyed that I will have to do the work. (Normally, guys, the publisher provides 2 maps, one with a grid and another without. As for the porches being seperate pieces.... well, whatever - it makes no logical sense. As long as I am forced to add the grid, I guess adding the porch is something I may as well do.)
Anyhow, this product doesn't seem to know it's market. It could either elect to provide the building blocks for someone to do all the work (give us chairs, bar stools, bottles, wooden walls, jail cell walls etc), or provide a finished product. Instead, they elected to give us something not quite finished.
