Pathfinder Flip-Mat Classics: "Woodlands" [RPG]

I've mentioned in other reviews how many flip-mats Paizo makes that feature forest scenes, and Woodlands is another one in the batch.  One side, the most useful one in my opinion, is very basic: a wide path going through the forest, with trees on either side and some small clearings further in.  This is the quintessential map for a forest random encounter, and the little clearings would be the perfect place for an adventuring party to choose as a campsite.  It's not fancy, but very useful.  The other side has multiple distinctive features: a small stream, the trunk of a huge tree, a cave, and a stone altar that the packaging calls an ancient druid shrine.  The features aren't matched precisely with the forest/path backdrop, and instead stand out a bit like a poor cut-and-paste.  As I've often commented in flip-mat reviews, distinctive features like these are actually a downside when it comes to maps that are supposed to be "generic" backdrops because they draw attention to themselves and limit reuse. A further drawback is that this flip-mat doesn't connect, as far as I can tell, to any other Paizo forest flip-mats.  

My verdict: one strong side and one weak side, for an ultimate mark of average.
