That would be really cool. Just now I'm setting up Barrow of the Forgotten King for Foundry. I'd love to get my hands on the battlemaps and configure them for vtt. Even better, maybe I'll get to buy them from the master (I use your tools in CC3 =D) directly instead of through a middle-man.

I’m sure he knows what he is doing, but I would have thought those maps had been “work for hire” and would be owned by WotC. Is he going to be selling copies or just making them available on the web (possibly for use in VTT’s)?

WotC as part of their normap.everyday art contracted, for Magic and D&D, include giving the artists the right to distribute their work as they see fit. WotC has the right to re-use it, too, but the artists can sell prints or give stuff out for free.
