Complete ASL Map Set on Preorder

We just placed on preorder a complete map set for the ASL system,

boards 1-52, and boards t-z of the starter kits. These boards will be

the starter kit style.

 

Should this product meet its preorder number (of 450), we are

producing many thousands of each map so that we will have stock for

selling individually. Retail price for individual maps is $5 plus

postage. The bundle, after P#, will be $240 plus postage. The

preorder price for the map bundle is $180 plus shipping.

 

We will also have a "leg up" on reprinting out of print modules. We

will not be offering "mapless" versions of core modules in the future

(it really is a logistical problem for our small office staff).

 

The maps will be shipped in a box so that they are not folded. PLEASE

NOTE that they will be scored so that they can easily be folded. Its

part of the production process, we're not going to try and bypass

that. But when shipped they will be flat. We weighed a mock-up today

and it was nearly 7 pounds not including the packing box and filler,

this is a heavy product!

 

Unlike usual P# games, the artwork from this one will not be started

until we are confident it will hit its preorder number. We will have

to pay for 35 maps to be reproduced and that is not inexpensive, so we

want to be sure we've got that angle covered. We have alerted the

artist, Kurt Miller (of Avalon Hill fame), so he knows this job may be

coming down the pipeline shortly. What does this mean to you? It means

that there certainly will be some form of delay once this hits before

this is produced. We hope the delay is minor, Kurt is very good at

working quickly and meeting deadlines.

 

This is the first entry on the P# list in which no one at MMP has any

inkling at how it will be received. We have done this in reaction to

emails and posted demand "to get them as a group now", so lets see how

accurate our online feedback really is!
