As a GM, I like to run various RPGS and some HeroClix as well. As a backer, I had put the suggestion out there that Aftermath Mods put together some 2D maps, and I'm shocked not only that they came through, but how quickly they did. I'm as excited about this project as I was with their model… and since I'm going to go the PDF route, it sounds like I'll have the maps pretty quick! Check it out…

That is cool! Reminds me of the old Marvel Superheros RPG

Depends on the company and what they're listening to. Minis companies and figure suggestions, cool. Verizon and my phone calls, not so much. :)

@ Chief… lol, too funny! Good point!

Sometimes you can listen too closely. I see a lot of products that seem like they are made from one point of view without much thought into marketability or actual design. Almost as if someone emailed and said you should make this! Instead of doing research and developing the product they just release whatever the customer suggested.

What I as the customer like and have observed is a lot of interaction between company and consumer. I think its nice. Its a bonus that a lot of the owners here also are players too… and u support one anothers work.

Which isn't very capitalist of you…but I love that quality about the owners of the diff companies….

(besides pulp 28mm) my heart and my wallet will always support this scale. Being overall nice to one another seals the deal for me!

So who's gonna make a 15mm " not-ice pirates" line ????
Or ill settle for a 15mm kegorator :0 my little men have a terrible thirst

@ CorSecEng, that is true I have seen that many a time. However, the guy behind ths project is an actual architect and a gamer, so I'm sure he has done his research.

Good afternoon everyone –
I would like to thank you for the kind words Darth. And yes we did listen. we had several requests for these types of maps and since we had the ability to create them it seemed a no-brainer. My partner / brother has several architectural models in 2d and it seemed as everyone was looking for a more realistic layout for their maps. After getting all those requests he set out to make some realistic architectural maps and develop them for varying scales. so far he has over 20 and he's developing more to be released before the KS completion. he has developed several in 1 1/2" x 1 1/2", 1" x 1" and some with no grid at all. these of course are developed with various scales to help everyone get the maps they need at the scales they require. check it out and IF there is something you wish to see that is not there just drop us a note and chances are he can develop what you need. thanks
