I wanted to drop a quick line before the end of the week to let you know that all the player versions of maps have been added where they are available to every adventure.
Simply visit the "View Player Version" link under the maps as they appear in the adventure. A helpful hint - right click the lightboxed image to open it in a new tab to see the super-hi-res version of that map.
As for the Backgrounds revamp that is currently in progress, it is not quite ready for this week. I hope to see that deployed next week, but we'll have to see how it goes as we work through the last couple of issues. Keep you updated!
Lastly, starting this month, I'll be starting a livestream (at least) monthly with information on recent updates, the near future, and time for Q&A. More details on that soon.

Thanks you can do the open image in new tab on the main image, but when you tap on the player version it comes up as a pop up, which you can't then open image in new tab. So I can open the player link in new tab, which gives a decent image.
But I'd still like to know what lightboxed image means??????

Does this mean that adventure content is no longer automatically shared with content sharing? Player maps done mean much if they can see the marked-up versions.

I also found telling them the content is there for them to see and use if they want to spoil it. I play with people who don't want to read ahead and love waiting to see what happens. YMMV I guess.
I get the "play with people who don't want to spoil it" idea, but it's still a lot of players clicking past a lot of content that they don't want to read trying to find a link to the map they do want.
I love that they are in, I would love even more to have a link from the "my campaign" page that would take you straight to those maps. If I could set "my campaign" to be aligned with a particular adventure and make the maps available as a DM-toggle (so they can see where they are and have been but not where they are going) that would be even better.
My players aren't cheaters and don't want to be spoiled at all. But it feels to me like the "my campaign" page is the natural players place to interact with their part of the campaign content, rather than clicking through the whole book.

Still, though, awesome that it's in.
I think you can, just open the adventure, navigate to the map, open the player map, and it should provide a link to the map itself. I just tried it with with LMOP, I'll post the link but I'm not sure it will work if you don't own the content. Cragmaw Hideout, not sure you can hide where they haven't been.

We could do something like this in the future along with whitelisting/ blacklisting content. We'd have the ability to tie a specific adventure to a campaign, and all the maps, etc. would be housed there.
Another thing that will likely make this easier is we will be adding a "player pack" for maps, handouts, etc. to the table of contents page for each adventure soon.
Thanks, BadEye - That's exactly what I was thinking - I could say "this campaign is tied to PoTA" (which ours is) and then point to it.
A player's pack would be great too - even if I couldn't whitelist/blacklist, it would be awesome to pull that through to the main campaign change. Basically, I don't really want them looking at the book for the campaign and want them to have what they need. The maps are great and so is the players pack.
Lastly, starting this month, I'll be starting a livestream (at least) monthly with information on recent updates, the near future, and time for Q&A. More details on that soon.
Have a great weekend - thanks!
That sounds great and is exactly what I have been hoping for! Will you host it on the D&D Twitch Channel or make your own? Will you also post "patch notes" with the big changes each update?

We'll host it on the D&D Twitch channel and yes to patch notes.
There still seem to be some missing maps throughout some of the products. Am I just missing them or were the player maps not available? The maps I can't find player version for are Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan, and Against the Giants, from Tales of the Yawning Portal. I posted a bug report, maybe that wasn't where I was supposed to post missing assets.

I am curious about the player map for the Death House. Is it not included because you can get it free on Mike Schley's website?
