The maps rated in the floor rules are the ones that have been made commercially available. (WotC, JediCartographer/AdventurersAtlas/ArmoredCartographers, or Mapmaker/Maps of Mastery)

Out of the ones not commercially available, what maps from the Holocron (or other sources) do you think are the best? Any you think would make the restricted list?

Ruined Base is probably one of the more fair and fun maps available. Plenty Attack on Endor left. Also a huge fan of Spynet HQ.

Muunilist is the tougher one to get, but it is pretty good. I also miss Death Star.

Nar Shaddaa and Geonosis Sith Hangar are two of ArmoredGear7's maps that haven't been made commercially available.

CPreksta has some good maps:

Eli and Sculley also have some good looking maps there.

Just wanted to hear other opinions, especially about the playability of certain maps or about other resources not in the Holocron.

We looked into releasing Nar Shadaa and Geonosis for the purpose of getting more competetive maps out there, but those maps were not deemed suitable. Thats why we ended up re-releasing Smugglers Base and Yavin Ruins. Those seemed the most likely to de used competitvely. Obviously, Yavin didn't end up being as good as we thought, but it's still a "playable" map.

I honestly dont think Cpreksta ever made competitive maps his goal, although his maps are quite playable.

I've kind of moved away from shooting for "Restricted" quality maps since Adventurers Atlas closed. Now that I'm doing it for fun, I've really started concentrating on good, fun maps that I would use with my friends at home. Which, believe it or not is not as easy as I thought it would be.

Anyone ever played on CPreksta's Jabba's Palace map? Any opinions?

I haven't played on any of his maps sadly, as they are too expensive to print i think. But he has some really cool ones on his website. Too bad he's not making them anymore.

On the topic, does anyone know any good sites to print off these maps/PDFs? Preferably in bulk.

Not in bulk, but the reason I was asking was because I wanted to get a couple hard-backed maps from Print & Play Productions:

That's cool, could you let me know what he charges you for that? I might so follow suit.
