[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7015656, member: 1"] That's the opposite of what he's suggesting. There's lots of places to get premade maps. Hundreds on DTRPG or RPGNow or various Patrons, or free websites. What Joe's suggesting is *custom* maps. A different beast altogether. The price will be the killer; and as a publisher I know what it costs to have a cartographer do a specific commission. That won't work for the general public, so there needs to be a tweak to the model. I think it's a great concept, and lots of people will be interested, but the price has to be right for casual usage. After all, anybody can hire a freelance artist to make a map - there's no shortage of artists (just look at the number of pitches I get in my inbox every hour!) Perhaps if the custom job was done, and the artists retained all rights (so the work was for private use only) and was able to sell it separately, it might work. But then, many companies allow their artists to retain the rights and sell their work separately anyway. I've been doing that for years, and even WotC does it these days. [/QUOTE]
