If you're looking for a MAP, this isn't it. These are simple pictures, the most complex of which is what you see on the cover picture. There are no grids on the images, no scale, and very little to distinguish one building from the next. 'Details' such as buildings and foliage appear to be randomly stamped about without the rhyme or reason which should dictate the development of a town or village. You get very little for your $5 with this product.

This is a fairly good product if you are looking for simple, clean maps that you want to edit for your own game. The maps are presented as individual jpeg files allowing you to edit them in even the most basic photo editing program. Two versions of each map are provided, color and B&W. Included also are GIF images of compasses so you can imbed these into the maps as you see fit. At 150 dpi, the largest file size is just over 500 Kb, making them easy to load. I would have preferred at least 300 dpi, as I think you can still get manageable file sizes (about 1 Mb) and better quality that way.

My biggest disappointment with the maps is the lack of a scale, either on the maps themselves, or as a GIF image that I could include. I really don't know how big the towns are, and that makes it a drawback to using them. Sure, I could include my own scale, but if compasses are going to be provided, a few different scale bars would be nice as well.

The price is reasonable, at just under a dollar per map I feel that I have gotten my money's worth. It would be nice to have had more maps, but I suppose I'll have to see if they do a Volume 2.
