Enquiring minds want to know.

Wondering also. Understand someone worked to make them, and should be compensated, but hard to draw parallel with the free stuff you can grab.

It's around $0.5 a map - there are plenty of commercial cartography companies who charge a lot more than this. There are also other options available, as JohnD mentions, if you spend a lot of time searching for maps on the internet and packaging them into your own FG maps module.

Maps can be quite specific, and a lot of these are taken from the AaW adventures, so some will be very specific to the scenarios they were designed for. I suggest you look at the screenshots and see if there are enough maps that interest you to make it of value.

To get an idea the quality of the maps, I'd recommend a one month (free) subscription to AdventureAWeek.com: https://adventureaweek.com/subscribe/ Use the code AAW1FREE This will give you access to the adventures online (web format) and 2 free PDF downloads, which will allow you to check out the maps in the scenarios. Some of the scenarios are also available as FG modules: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/?search=&sys=-1&pub=22&typ=3&sort=1&x=7&y=14 (5E conversions are on the way - some are already available on the AaW website).
