The official description for the next map pack has now been posted. Looks like we're getting 6 old maps and 2 new ones, the same as was in the first map pack.

But the following line has me a little concerned:
" One map features two never-before-seen encounter locations: a mushroom-filled cavern and a dwarven fortress along an underground river. "

The dwarven fortress next to the underground river sounds an awful lot like the "Dwarven Outpost" poster map that was released for the old minis skirmish game. I really hope it's not because only including a single new map would push me over the edge of not buying this product.

The first map pack was great because the cathedral/chapel maps were so excellent and exactly what I was looking for, but it was still a stretch financially because I already had the other 6 maps. I really hope the new maps are of truly excellent quality.

The current edition is BECMI, the most popular form of Basic D&D and the adventure is the classic Red Box quest to kill Bargle the evil magic user. Check it out, learn about the games roots, and enjoy the story as it unfolds.

Four double-sided posters? I thought cathedrals had three posters.

Yup, I noticed the same thing, particularly since I also already have a map called Mushroom Cavern from Fantastic Locations: Hellspike Prison.

Let's hope the author has simply received the wrong info about which maps are the new ones...
