[jpstod]

Several people have been pushing me.. So I finally did it..
To get started I am making some PDFs of My Maps I have made over the Years and offering them for Free on DrivethruRPG..

Please take a look and let me know what you think.

Great job jpstod! I only saw the one image but it very nice. It's nice of you to offer your work free of charge, but it looks good enough to be a commercial product.

Cheers,

Thanks...I Don't feel right charging people for Maps I have shared for free online already. So I am offering them to the public for free to more people.
I plan on still offering a freebie once in a while
I hope people will like my Maps enough to want to Buy some. Maybe even get a few commissions.

I am working on another free PDF for the Hideouts...
I am playing around in GIMP on the Artwork...

Good fortune to you JP. I hope it goes really well.

I snagged them immediately, really nice work! I suspect if you post more with a price on them, you'll make some sales

Understandable. But you could also advertise them as "Pay what you want" meaning people can pick them up for free but also have the option of throwing you a little gas money to say thanks if they like. When I began selling some of my own work at DriveThrough last year I marketed the first one this way and it's done alright.

They're definitely good enough to ask money for, but I see your point (so: what Arsheesh says).
Good luck!

Way to go, I am a slacker and should do something similar myself but I hope it goes well for you and Congratulations on pushing yourself out of you comfort zone. I think you will do fine.
