"There's a hum in the air, a throbbing energy that vibrates through the studio. Servers churn and chew through the digital info being fed into them before beaming it out to the masses.

People hurry and scurry around the studio like worker ants, toiling under the harsh sun of spotlight beams and digit screens. It's perfect chaos, every single thing has a place and every single person has a job. One flickering light or one forgetful staff member, and the entire facade would shatter.

The new anchors grin and blink from behind their desk up on the brightly lit stage, whilst sweaty and stressed suits shout orders at technicians in the control room."

Hi guys!

This month's maps are coming in late but they're coming in hot!

The first map of the month is a television network's broadcast studio. Drawing this broadcast studio battle map was a bit of a challenge because my mind's eye has not had much exposure to such environments (except for the time I was binging through Apple's "Morning Wars" series). I had to Google for a lot of references and watch a ton of behind the scenes YouTube videos on network television. Fun!

I recall showing you guys the initial concept of this battle map over at Discord.

I started the sketch out in color (which is rare) and surprisingly the end result wasn't too different. The only big change I made since was shortening the outer corridor to maximize the area of the main studio floor. I think it looks, and play a lot better this way.

Map Variants

The Talk Show

This is your typical Today Show variant where an influential guest sticks his neck out there and goes live to the masses. The perfect opportunity for an assassination or kidnapping scenario kickoff.

Barricades

The heroes are trying to get an important bit of information out to the public and what better way to do so than via the city's biggest TV news network?

The situation gets spicy as security forces quickly surround the group and they have to barricade themselves in just long enough to broadcast.

I have included TWO variant tiles here for each of the double doors - the TV studio has 2 of these along the east and south walls. While the barricades alone won't stop an intrusion, they are enough to change the flow of attack and defense.

Breach

A green screen detonates, providing a nifty escape route to the outside. Thanks to Luke The GM for this idea - I almost missed it!

I've added a second variation of this tile that does not lead outside but to an adjacent interior space. Try both tiles to see which one suits your narrative better, GM's!
