[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4595947, member: 70778"] I was thinking glued at top first as well then looked at the cost of glueing and then thought about erros in geting them in order to have stacks of say the 20 maps el-remmen. That would be like paying someone to stuff envelopes and that almost always means some little flyer could be missed in 1 in 10 stacks. Wouldn't be very good, and having all 5 of a given tile in one place means that when you only need one you have to loosen the other 4 to get to things under it. It is still a thought, but something a publisher would have to make sure to get right in the process. D'karr, they wouldn't be black and white. Even newsprint image quality could be color. Of course a novelty item would be blue maps. Say taking [B]Geomorhp[/B]ic shapes and make the lines in blue on white paper. Otherwise they would be full color, but like the reason behind paper over game board stock the ink would be reduced to help make production costs lower and replacement costs lower. Also the PDF idea could be for those who want to as an option not the only method for acquiring these paper "tiles", otherwise there is no real point as there are TONS of them out there already that this can be done with for free. D'karr, I can understand wanting the better quality and do not mind that all will not like the idea, but I think some might that don't have the skills for CCx or can afford the latest and best mapping programs and printers to print their own off with, otherwise if they did then tiles as they are now wouldn't sell, or only sell a single set as people would just scan in a tile and print as many as they need and glue them to stiffer stock. Which would be possible with these as well. Your maps are good, but not everyone can do that. ;) If we all owned plotters and CC3 I am sure we would be better off for mapping, but that still isn't here yet and plotters aren't that affordable for cost and space.
