Yeah Lots of different colored markers! Yeah!. Drool drool.
(The wait is getting to me, I guess)

Status: offline 		I plan on buying the map Matrix puts out (provided its released same time as the game - otherwise they probably shouldn't bother) and laminating it. Then I can draw on it with markers and such and just wash it clean. I work at a copy center and will be laminating it myself so it works perfectly

Status: offline 		In UV, the map fitted neatly onto a A4 size page.

I tried to print it onto A3 size ( computer paper). But the text was fuzzy at that size.

WITP covers such a large area that a map at A4 size will not be useful.

Status: offline 		I asked Joel about printing off some maps and selling them, he siad that it is something that they will look at but are not promising anything. I guess that it is a simply question of market forces....if enough people ask then there is a greater chance of it happening.
