I think I would even buy a kickstarted collector's edition with a Francesco-as-a-hobbit action figure and a map hand-drawn on real goat skin.

Speaking of maps, is there a download for the complete DoM map?

So, you want to bring PETA into the process, eh?

If the maps aren't going to be separate and are presented in the new HC books please make them fold out so they can be read easily. I dislike nothing more in an RPG then having a section of a map un readable because it is folded by the binding on a two page spread.

Just put a version on the Internet using the Google Maps API, IMO. Would be way more useful to be able to pan and zoom and leave annotations.

M'eh! I know the e versions save trees, but I prefer to have the actual copy of a map/book in my hands.

Both. I love beautifully printed maps, but a online digital one that could annotated (mouse over to see what it is, click to drill down) and be updated by C7 (a new supplement comes out and all the locations just appear on the map) would be very, very useful.

They wouldn't even have to put a pay wall in front of the online map...not much use to those who don't own TOR, except perhaps as a marketing tool to convert them.

Maybe there will be something like a map pack? Something like this?

I absolutely love maps, so both a old fashion map and a digital which updates with new stuff as new supplements arrives would be huge and music to my ears.

Speaking of maps, I wonder if, with the new ares like Eriador and Rohan, will we have other master screens ?
The one with Laketown is quite centered on Mirkwood, so I wondered if there's one with the Shire or something else planned.
