Great to hear!


I got Nar Shadda printed on hardboard, but then I have it buried at the bottom of my map box and never pull it out. I've seen images of the other 2 and they look cool.



How many updates are you looking to do? I wouldn't want to see any updates of any map that's made the Restricted List. That would just cause confusion to have 2 versions out there. But none of the 4 above have been restricted, so that's fine. Of those, I'd be most interested in seeing the Outer Rim Fueling Station updated to eligible for the Restricted list. Such a cool location (Galactic Truck Stop) and the map is almost there. Not enough protection for the starting zones and maybe a little bit cluttered (terrain wise) in the center. But the center may not need to change much at all, actually.

We don't have a map called Outer Territory Settlement. I'm assuming that's Khoonda (with alternate name Dantooine Settlement)? See kezz's awesome guide here: http://swmgamers.com/SWM/Rules/MapList_2014.pdf . That one is pretty far from the Restricted list. An update there might be a complete redesign to make the Restricted list.



I have everything so not looking for a re-issue myself. But I would want to see the most popular maps re-issued so everyone can have access to them:

Rhen Var Citadel (Ice World Citadel)
Bothan Spynet (Spynet HQ)

I'd say Theed and Anchorhead but they've both already been printed twice. I'll have to think more about what others I'd like to see reprinted, but those 2 are at the top of the list with a pretty big gap to #3.

Edit:
After Rhen Var and Bothan Spynet, I'd probably say:
Jabba's Palace (Crime Lord's Palace from MP4)
Outlaw City

From MP6 I'd also vote for Gangster's Vault, but I'm biased there.

I have everything except Map Pack 1.

I wouldn't mine seeing a couple those updated.

Finally a spot of good news against today's madness. Matt thank you for this, you are an amazing human being and we greatly appreciate it! Will this be a kickstarter or direct order?

I though I had typed out a reply to some of this, but I guess it didn't post.

I agree with Flying Arrow on so much of what he wrote. I know Rhen Var (Ice Citadel, Whatever) is very popular. I have to admit, it's one of my least favorite maps. It definitely needs an art update, and I'd be uncontrollably tempted to retool the layout.

I'd love to redo the outer rim fueling station.

Khoonda, Outer Rim settlement, whatever. I'll have to give it a non trademark infringing name I suppose. That's one of those maps I forgot even existed until I start going through old stuff. I wouldn't mind revisiting that map and doing some updates.


Although I don't think the re-issues would be necessarily the selling point for this particular community, So many people ask me for copies of that stuff. The real high point will be the new maps and updates of old. They will all be very focused on gameplay. A couple of them are shoe-ins for the restricted list, and hope They can get on the list by spring.

Besides, these things always evolve, and I wouldn't be surprised if stretch goals allow, and overflows of money will allow for another new map to make it's way in the set.


@Jonathan, My pleasure. I hope you enjoy what I'm doing. As always your request has been a huge pain in the butt, but, it's shaping up to be very rewarding. I don't know if it's exactly what you wanted, but I think you'll like what I'm doing. There WILL be a kickstarter, I just want to make sure the reprints are as close as I can to pleasing you all. I'd reprint every single map if I could

Gangster Vault is probably not going to make it because I still have an inventory of map pack 6.
Jabba's Palace is a possibility, although that's another map I really don't like.

Rhen Var, with an art update, I could probably imagine that
Bothan Spynet is a great choice

Geonosis and Jedi Temple are almost 100 percent going in. Anything Josh does, especially ones that have never actually been printed up by us, has priority

Oh, okay. I thought I saw you post on facebook that you were down to your last couple copies.


I actually don't like it that much, either, but I have to admit it's balanced. And I seem to play on it a lot. I was just thinking of balanced and popular maps that people would like to have access to.



Cool. And I have no problem with having Nar Shaddaa in there, of course. I liked it enough to have it printed up separately, after all. But it's not going to be a candidate for the Restricted list, for sure.

I am running low on map pack 6, but I have a lot of stragglers, I think that's one of them. I am going to do an actual inventory on Sunday to see what I'm dealing with. I LOVE that map, so If I do reprint any from Map PAck 6, That will be taken under heavy consideration. Is that one restricted?

Just to clarify... GG is talking about "Crime Lord's Palace" from Map Pack 6 - the one with all the eclectic rooms that the Crime Lord built - like I think a pool, a garden, and a shooting range. It was on the Restricted List for a year but has also rotated out. He mentions it as the best map for huges and said he had a hand in its design.

"Jabba's Palace" (aka "Gangster's Palace") is the one from Map Pack 4. It has also rotated off the Restricted List due to space concerns, but it was on there for a lot of years.


Here's the current restricted list if you're curious, but it will probably change in the next month or two. This is the time of year when the changes usually happen:

Cloud City (WotC)
Dark Academy (Your MP5)
Outlaw City (Your MP3)
Command Deck (Maps of Mastery)
Imperial Plaza (Your MP5)
Commander's Office - aka Ravaged Base (WotC)
Bothan Spynet (Your MP4)
Simulation Deck (Maps of Mastery)
Modular Base (Your League Kit 4)
Great Libarary (Your MP5)

I don't remember much about many of these maps, but looking back at the whole body of work, I can't help but really feel so proud,and so grateful.

Can't believe it's been 10 years.

Definitely!
