Grocery Store $3 Rewards

Map #41: Grocery Store

Greetings Gamers (and Shoppers),

A grocery store may seem mundane, but they can quickly turn into scenes of high action when life takes a turn.

My generous patrons get up to 8 variations of the store, including versions of a streetfront grocery store from the 1920/30s suitable for cultist activity and dreadful hauntings. All of the maps come in day/night and gridded/ungridded versions.

Cheers!

Map Pack #41: Grocery Store

Happy Fall, Patrons!

NOTE: I first uploaded zip files containing many 1/2 size versions of the modern map variations (70 px grid instead of 140 px). If you downloaded your pack right after it was posted you can re-download your zip files now. So sorry!

A grocery store may seem mundane, but they can quickly turn into scenes of high action when life takes a turn.

This month's Modern variations depict a mid-sized store with three checkout counters, a prepar...

Map Pack #40: Barbershop and Salon

My Well-Coiffed Patrons,

From classic gangster films to Luke Cage, barbershops have seen a lot of action, but they're also community hubs — places to meet casually and exchange gossip, or hold organized meetings and make plans.

The same can be said for Hair Salons.

And they're small enough to fit into a single Battlemap as neighbouring businesses!

In addition to the usual Modern/Vintage (1920/30s) and Abandoned maps I thought the aftermath of a sh...

Map #40: Barbershop and Hair Salon

Hi Gamers,

From classic gangster films to Luke Cage, barbershops have seen a lot of action, but they're also community hubs — places to meet casually and exchange gossip, or hold organized meetings and make plans.

Map #39: Roller Rink

G'day Gamesters,

Stranger Things happen in roller rinks than you might expect.

I fondly remember my skates. A lot of us skated to school when I was in grade 6, and there was a rink we could go to on weekends. Roller skating seemed to die not long after and the rink became a crappy 'All Ages' club.

But it's back! Sort of.

In any case, on this map you can buy a ticket, take a spin, dr...

Map Pack #39: Roller Rink

Funky Patrons,

I readily admit that I was inspired by the latest season of Stranger Things, but a Roller Rink map had been previously suggested to me by a Patron, so it’s not the only reason.

Map Pack #38: Jail

Glorious Patrons,

In doing the research for this map I quickly realized that I could do a section of a prison (like I've done with the High School and the Hotel) or I could do an entire jail. The terms are often used interchangeably, but, in general:

Jails are short-term holding facilities for the newly arrested and those awaiting trial or sentencing. 

Fortunately, I have no direct experience of these facilities, so I had to drill down some more.

Jail $3 Legend Rewards

Map #38: Jail

Hi Dicerollers,

My take on a jail has two entrances, one for those who get to leave and one for 'guests'. There's a 'Booking' area which then leads to holding cells and the 'Search' and 'Exam' rooms. Once a new guest is through those, he or she passes into the Laundry and Inmate storage room where they get ...

Map #37: Library

G'day Roleplayers,

There are a lot of great fantasy library maps out there. Here's my take on something a little contemporary. 

My patrons get up to 9 variations (36 total maps).

May all your Library Research checks be EXTREME successes.

Library $3 Legend Rewards

Map Pack #37: Library

Generous and Wise Patrons,

One of my favourite things about the game Call of Cthulhu is that characters have a Library Research skill. But I don't think you have to play that particular rpg to get use out of a Library battlemap.  

Lots of weird and nasty things and people might find a library a convenient place to hang out, and books can contain spells, forbidden lore, lost maps, etc.

And if none of that works for you, those of you at the Legend level get Unfurnished ...

Map #36: Movie Theater

Hi Friends,

For my movie theater map, I decided to go with a what could be a Revival House or Repertory Cinema.

Many theaters of this kind have rooms set aside to rent for private events or as lounges. I thought a nice bar that took advantage of the street-facing windows would be appropriate.

As always, I try to make my Vintage variations appropriate for ...

Map Pack #36: Movie Theater

Beloved Patrons,

For my movie theater map, I decided to go with what could be a Revival House or Repertory Cinema.

This had two advantages: I could map the entire building (including the projector room and storage upstairs), and it made the 'Vintage' variation of the map make sense.

Many theaters of this kind have rooms set aside to rent for private events or as l...

Two Years!

Generous Patrons,

In March 2020, when things started to get weird, I decided to start making maps for non-fantasy ttrpgs. I hoped a few people would find them useful and maybe even be willing to throw me some change if I worked hard.

My expectations were not high, and every time somebody signed up, every time somebody sent a nice message, I was thrilled (I still am). I love the thought that I'm helping people play these games. 

35 maps in, and I still love making them...

Map #35: Checkpoint

Hello Friends,

Here's a border (or base, or research facility, or whatever) checkpoint.

Patrons get up to 72 maps for this one. 

There are three primary variations: Original (modern), Vintage, and Sci-fi. I tried to make them versatile to fit a wide range of settings. Every version comes in interior/exterior, night/day, and gridded/ungridded.

Checkpoint $3 Legend Rewards

Map Pack #35: Checkpoint

My Gaming Friends,

Here's another map I created based on a suggestion from one of you. Don't be shy about sharing your ideas with me.

I tried to leave some flexibility. It's not easy, because I want detail, but I want you to be able to make up your own stories. So, I was thinking 'Border checkpoint', but there's nothing to say that those walls don't surround a compound, a test site, or whatever.

Because I did interior and exterior versions or all 9 variations, I ended up w...
