The Terminus - Corp Monorail Station

Hey all. A few months back you asked for a corporate subway station battle map for your Cyberpunk and sci-fi campaigns. I give you, "The Terminus"

"An important scientist and his entourage is set to disembark at the Market Street monorail station. Security intel informs that there will be an assassination attempt at the scientist's life,  at the very platform he disembarks from. Your group has been tasked ahead of time with security detail - Perform a sweep and arrest the assassins before the VIP arrives. Will your group be able to save the scientist in time? "

This is just one example idea of a mission scenario at the Terminus. I'm sure this battle map will spawn plenty of other ideas that even lead beyond the station. 

Design Description

The size of the map comes in at [36x19] squares (or 5040 x 2660 at 140 DPI).  

This dual platform monorail station map features an expansive Art Nouveau style glass facade that offers panoramic views from the second level promenade. It includes multiple points of entry and exit to and from the central platform area, along with a ticketed gateway equipped with bio-scanners)  that leads to Market Street, located along the east wall. A large underground passageway towards the west leads to restaurants, clubs and the shopping district. 

Frag Map Community Shoutouts

When I started out on this map, I had envisioned something completely different from the final version of this battle map. Feedback from some of you on the Frag Maps Discord server resulted broad changes in the details and layout. I think the final version turned out much better than my initial design. 

I just wanted to give a shoutout to the community members who greatly contributed towards this map with lots of early input: Marty Ramirez, Waynetrav, AMonkeyWithAFez, Hyriu33, Andriod (not a spelling error), and MaxXIII. 

Map Variants & Downloads

This map set comes in 3 different variants:

Note: The "Roof Cap" variant is optional and caters to those of you who utilise VTTs (virtual tabletops) like Foundry, Roll20 etc. You add the roof cap as a separate layer within your VTT so you can switch the internal carriage view off when you do not need it.

Comments

Agreed. So much potential. Unfortunately the licensing is holding evolution back.

Frag Maps

Yeah, maybe 7th (if there is one) will be good. We're sticking with 5th since 6th seems to be a total dud. Such a great world, though.

Zuilin

Can't wait for the day Shadowrun gets a fresh boot :D I love the lore.

Frag Maps

Sure. I should have mentioned I play Shadowrun (with these maps). Also meters.

Zuilin

Yeah CP Red/2020 is in meters. Just to be clear though, while I think the game is cool, my maps aren't focused on that system. There are lots of other sci-fi and cyberpunk TTRPG GM's and players that subscribe to Frag Maps. But you're most welcome!

Frag Maps

Sounds good. I just figured since the game itself is in meters, might as well set the squares that way! Thanks for the gridless ones!

Zuilin

I went to 1m per square a few months back. Got hammered by social media saying everything is out of scale. For some reason, some TTRPG folks can't fathom squares being any other size than what D&D 5e has set them out to be - 1 sq = 5 ft . In order to maintain my own sanity, I drew out the D&D type squares knowing that my supporters will always get the grid-free maps to set them up as they wish anyway.

Frag Maps

Makes sense. I’ve been making my squares 1m so I’ll just use the non-gridded one and lay down my own grid. Thanks for the great maps!!

Zuilin

1 square = 5 ft

Frag Maps

How do you decide your grid size for a map like this? What do you set it to? (X feet?)

Zuilin

I second that!

Loretta

This is so awesome! I got an idea: So you're making those super-cool battle maps. But sometimes you need a map after a battle. So maybe, if it is possible, folks may enjoy an "After-Shootout"-version. Nevertheless I love how shiny everything ist.

Loretta

By the way. Thanks for the $10 Adamantium support!

Frag Maps

I'm working on an idea to get this into my Traveller game. Possibly an attempt to stop a terrorist bomb plot. I'm looking forward to seeing what else have for this theme.

Mark Munson

By the way everyone, I'm working on the modular monorail map set in July. That will be a continuation of this map theme. Still trying to work out the technicals to ensure that it is feasible. I'll know in a couple of days from now.

Frag Maps

You wanna write one for me? :)

Frag Maps

This map is so good it needs its own adventure.

Mark Munson

I love this! Especially its versatility. Great for sci fi, but also great for my Delta Green campaign set in the modern era. Fantastic!

Barrie Robison

You got it my dude.

Frag Maps

My god man that's beautiful! Please for the love of things gaming keep making cyberpunk maps!
