So PNG maps would probably be approx. 1.5Mb each. I have no objection to
using PNGs for maps--I'd prefer it, personally--but the filesize might
become an issue. How long would it take to download 1.5Mb on a 56k modem?
Its been so long since I used one I honestly can't remember.


An unreasonably long time if you just want to look at a map: 5-10
minutes depending on true connection speed. I think JPEG is the
appropriate compromise between size and quality right now.
OK, that is quite a long time. Pushed the JPEG revisions to the repository. I'll do the same with the Grey Star illustrations later. I'm quite focussed on getting all the illustrations present and correct. 

Thanks for the help and feedback--it's always appreciated. :-)
