Maybe it's BOTH -- and we could wind up with TWO sheets of them! ;-)

I think it's both! Start sharing on Facebook.

Are they the standard Melee and Wizard maps, only done on neoprene-backed cloth and in large hexes? What's the art for, decorations around the edges?

Standard Melee and Wizard maps, but with the 1.5" hees. Decoration both around and within the hexes, for the "arena" look.

I detect some confusion between the neoprene mat and the dry-erase megahexes. Do not be confused :) They are different things.

Yes, megahexes appear in two stretch goals now, and with support will appear in more, because it's good to have even a few, but More is Better. So everybody please hit that Facebook like button.

While we're on the general topic, I'm a little confused about what the dry erase megahexes are all about. Are these small objects that are intended to be laid on top of a larger hex map in order to add terrain to the play area, or something else?

That's what I figured. Thanks for clarifying. Dyson does good work (I've followed him for years on Google Plus, where we are both active).

Will the dry-erase megahexes be the Melee and Wizard maps or are they a stack of megahexes that we can arrange however we like? Either would be good to have.
