Storm Kings Thunder Maps

Hello. Me and a few friends are looking into buying a module for our first time. I'm wondering if anyone has any information on the Storm Kings Thunder. We are debating whether to buy it off here or another website. Does the module come with all the maps besides the battle maps? We are trying to figure out if its worth the $50 based on how immersive it is. I understand the description states maps/tokens things like that, but what does that really consist of?

The module comes with 42 maps. These include encounter maps, dungeons, and overland maps. It has been a while since I owned the book, but I recall the module having everything the book had. When they say everything, they mean everything. If it is in the book, it is in the module as far as I could tell.

Hey David,  The module has pretty much everything you need and most importantly it's completely set up for you in advance. I think it's very worth it. The maps are all there in high quality and are all filled with tokens of the appropriate monsters in their places. Each monster and named NPC has a character sheet and tokens all set up and ready to go, you just drag them from the journal if you need them for any reason. All the dungeon type maps have dynamic lighting already set up. And there are handouts for the chapters of the book, the locations, the monsters and all the named magic items. That said there are two things that I think are worth noting that aren't in the book, but neither of these things are that major. First, i f there's no map in the book there's no map. So the module doesn't have maps for random encounters, or any major cites, or for any of the 100+ locations listed in chapter 3 of the book. It's not as big a deal as it might sound, but definitely worth noting as you'll need to be ready to make some maps. And secondly, t he module asks you to reference the DMG a bunch of times, you can get by without it if you need to but it's kind of annoying. Magic items and traps and other things might just say "This is an arrow trap, described in chapter 5 of the DMG.". So without the DMG handy you just have to make up which items to give or how the trap works. That's pretty much it though. It's a decent buy and a good module I think. I'd say go for it as long as you're ok with my two little gripes. If you're really not sure and want to take a look at it PM me and I can give you a tour of my game or something.

If it exists in the physical module, it will be in the roll20 module. Just understand that with you, David, being a free account none of the extra features that are based on paid subscription tiers will be enabled. They will still be there so if you decide to go plus or pro subscription, it will enable those features.
