Update #15: Announcing "Mass Transit III"!

Posted on July 18, 2011

Hi, everyone!

I'm thrilled to announce the launch of a new poster in the Mass Transit series. It's designed to connect with the maps you already have to expand the encounter locations even further! Plus, if you like to use space ship maps in your games, this poster has more new starship designs than it has sides!

Please check it out here, and consider pledging your support if you like what you see:

Time is very limited on this one due to the approach of Gen Con; if this is a produce you'd like to own, please don't delay, and help get the word out to as many of your friends as possible!

Included in the same funding drive is an opportunity to get the new Surveillance Station terrain card set. It, too, is compatible with your existing maps and the pieces can be rearranged in countless ways to build new outpost designs for RPG campaigns or miniatures skirmish action.

Thank you again for your support of Mass Transit II; without your patronage last year, this new installment could never have existed!

Update #14: 22 hours left to pre-order Forsaken Lands II

Posted on July 31, 2010

Just a quick note for those who may yet be interested: There's less than a day left to pre-order my next poster, Forsaken Lands II. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mapmaker/forsaken-lands-ii-poster-map

Also: those who pre-order this poster can use the same Kickstarter funding drive to add more posters and/or my new "Sci-Fi Cargo Tiles" product. You can read more about those here: http://www.mapsofmastery.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php...

Thanks again, folks!

Update #13: Forsaken Lands II now available for pre-order!

Posted on July 20, 2010

Hey everyone!

I wanted to take a moment to let you all know about my newest poster map endeavor! This Kickstarter funding drive that you supported was so hugely successful that I have gone ahead with another one! This time the product is a sequel to my Forsaken Lands poster map: Forsaken Lands II features a waterfall-carved "Deep Caverns" map on one side, and an arid, desolate "Badlands" on the other; both maps are genre-neutral, so that they can be equally at home in a sci-fi or fantasy miniatures game or RPG. The poster comes with a terrain card that can be used to add a dragon's hoard to the Deep Caverns.

Once again, backers will get free shipping and can use the pre-order drive to get copies of other posters in my selection.

You can read all about it here, and pre-order the map with your pledge if you like it: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mapmaker/forsaken-lands-ii-poster-map

Thanks again, folks! It's because of the support that you showed for Mass Transit II that I've produced this next poster map, and I remain grateful for your help in making it happen!

Update #12: PDF files now available!

Update #11: Rewards have been sent!

Posted on July 1, 2010

Good news, everyone: your rewards are on the way!

I spent all day yesterday and last night getting the packages ready (it took a lot longer than expected), and then a good chunk of today at the post office mailing them all! I just got home, and am delighted to be able to say that all of the packages have been sent!

Thank you again for your support and patience, everyone! I hope you're as pleased by the outcome of this project as I am!
