Excellent. I'll be loyally waiting.

It's ok. What I mean is that if a certain map _isn't_ going to get printed, then it should be awailable for the gaming community.
Hoarding stuff for a long time pending a possible release somewhere isn't the best way to go. There's the direct revenue from selling maps and such, but having a large amount of downloadable support material gets people hooked to Glorantha, and keeps them happy and loyal.
Two sides to every coin, I'd say.
That sayed, I'll happily pay for professionally printed maps. I'd also happily pay for a good .TIFF file.
