It's the only copy I've seen in seven years. My set has the hexagons cut. I presume they were originally printed two to a sheet? 15 cardstock sheets and the cover/instructional sheet in a ziplock? Were they originally produced with architectural dry rub on transfers?

It also came bundled with a copy of the Beast, Men & Gods Errata Sheet. "Fold here and glue into the back of your book."

Remember that?

Yes to all of the questions. They were produced using zip-a-tone or some other similar rub-on transfers. I had problems with the card-stock approach, but when I investigated thicker cardboard and die-cutting, it became obvious that the costs were prohibitive. So, this was not a great product. I liked the idea a LOT and felt that a line of geomorphic tiles would be great, especially for wilderness but for dungeons as well, and of course these have come to pass since then, but I didn't have the resources to pull it off.

I've been so busy that I can't spend time promoting the new edition, so thank you very much for letting people that might be interested know! I messed up the first preview on CreateSpace.com and so it is no longer there, the one VaultKeeper posted here (https://www.createspace.com/Preview/1082747) should work. It is a large PDF. I hope I didn't overdo the preview!
