Jedi Cartographer's Map Pack (#1) is a limited edition, fan created Map Pack of 6 maps, Designed and Produced by our very own Jedi Cartographer (Matt Francella). Only 300 copies of the Map Pack were created with the coveted 1/300 going to Boba52 in recognition of his aid in promoting and play testing of the Map Pack.
The Map Packs were originally set up as a pre-order item, as JC needed to have a hundred orders so that he could afford to produce the maps. This goal was easily reached and the Map Packs were delivered to JC's home on April the 5th, 2008. Individual orders were sent out shortly after. On each Copy of Echo Base is a signed and numbered sticky of authenticity, as well each envelope has a custom return address with an iconic Star Wars character on it.
Ordering InfoHere are the directions to order straight from the source- Payment is $35 US or $41 worldwide (shipping included)
You would send your Paypal payment to
Jedicartographer@yahoo.com. When you do this and have 2 forms of credit listed (ie credit card or bank account) your payment is instant. If you don't have 2 forms of credit your payment will work like a check and will have to clear before shipment can be placed. Once payment is clear, shipments go out the Wed or Sat of the following week.
You can also order from
Epicminiatures.com if you wish, but you still end up paying JC through Paypal, so it is ultimately your choice. Just make sure if you do this you don't send your payment to Epic. If you do, you will still get your pack and the money will still get to JC, but your shipment could be delayed and we don't want that now do we.
A Little History From Boba52Quote:
Jedicartographer is the creator of these maps. He didn't have a way to print them, so he was using Cafepress as his distributor. He would give them a map to sell and they sold it for $17.99 and he got $1 store credit for every map he sold and therefore when he sold 18 maps he could finally get one for himself. I started to work with him because I have access to a plotter and laminater. I didn't have any WOTC maps, only custom from Holocron, so he scrapped the Cafepress plan and started just sending me the JPG and I would send him his maps in exchange for WOTC map/minis worth of shipping and my time. This started his brain child of somehow getting maps to everyone. He found someone who could mass print maps, but the cost is still very high. Basically at $35 for 6 maps he is not making very much money and is able to get the maps made and ship them to everyone. At the end of the day that is all he really wants. So, when he has sold 100 he will put them in production to make 300 total. Whatever he doesn't sell online he will bring and sell at GenCon. If he sells all these and recoups his costs then he will no doubt make a 2nd map pack with all new maps. (that is why I am slaving myself out) Because more maps is a very sweet thing and I want him to have plenty of incentive to keep on keepin on.
