Terrific looking, black & white renderings of an airship. The quality of these "blue" prints is excellent with a well-written description and narrative accompanying them describing the general layout and operation of the airship. If you're looking to run any sort of pulp or steampunk game, these are well worth the low asking price.

Anyone who has ever played a contemporary game must have, at some point, visited an hotel. Whether the characters are on the move and need somewhere to stay, or a meeting place, or a hideout... hotels feature in spy tales, thrillers... even supernatural games. It is unlikely that, if you play contemporary games, that you will never have needed one. Often, you may be able to get away with using one you've visited yourself (she says, remembering a scene set in London's Langham Hilton), but if trouble comes to visit your characters (or they start some), more than a description from memory will be useful.

This one's quite interesting, as it has been produced in collaboration with Silver Gryphon Games, as a setting for one of their adventures - Shrödinger's Box. If you happen to possess a copy, you will find 3 levels of the Provincial Hotel provided in reasonable detail in its pages; but if you like mapping out your combats, it is well worth picking this product up for the added detail. Naturally, even if you don't have it, you can find plenty of uses for this rather nice hotel.

After a brief run-down, generic to all their map products I've seen, on how this map series came to see the light of day, this product opens with some flavour text: a travel writer's notes on the Provincial Hotel. Cleverly, no city name is given, so if you are not using Wellstone City (Silver Griffin Games's imaginary city setting) it will work just as well elsewhere. Then on to the plans themselves. They are designed to ultilise the capablities of the latest version of Adobe Acrobat - and if you do not have a current copy of Acrobat Reader, which is a free download, it is worth acquiring. The plans come in three formats, so that you can pick whatever is most convenient. Firstly, there are single-page overviews of each floor (these are the ones you get in Shrödinger's Box), then there are a series of pages which when laid out together give you each floor in battlemap scale, and finally - for those who have a plotter or access to one at a good copy shop or similar - the same printable on a single sheet. Moreover, before printing you can use the 'layers' technology to decide whether or not you want a grid overlay, text, furniture or the reference numbers to match the text of Shrödinger's Box.

The Ground Floor has the lobby, offices, dining room, kitchen, and other public areas as well as some suites. The Second Floor has more suites and public spaces - some of the suites are quite palatial with social areas and even private cooking facilities, and all are en suite, of course. The Third Floor, which can be repleated as many times as necessary depending on how large an hotel you need, has more rooms, but less in the way of public areas apart from corridors and utility rooms which are presumably mainly for use by the housekeeping staff (or by guests who need to launder clothes during their stay).

All is presented in a neat, architectural draft, style and it enables you to be very precise about what's where, angles, cover and all those details you need to bear in mind when violence threatens... A fine mapset for anyone needing a modern and rather nice hotel for their characters to visit.

Bought them for a recent cyberpunk game and they work great!

I am very pleased with every floorplan in this bundle. Printing them out and joining them together is very easy, as each page has overlapping tiles from the other pages. All the floorplans were easily reusable, especialy since I can print them without names or furniture.

I definitely recommend buying the set.

I'm very happy with every floorplan in this bundle. The floorplans are exactly as advertised. Each page had overlapping tiles from the other pages, which made it easier to line up and stick the pages together after printing them.

I've found the cyber cafe is easily reusable as other building types, especially since it can be printed without names or furniture.

I definitely recommend buying the set.

I am very pleased with these floorplans - they are exactly as advertised. Tiling the pages is very easy, as each page has overlapping tiles from the other pages. I do however have two very minor complaints with the product: All of the floorplans in this set are in a single 198 page PDF. This has made it slightly painful to navigate around. The product description doesn't contain thumbnails of all the floorplans, making it a little harder to make the decision to buy it.

Even with these minor complaints they definitely deserve a 5 star rating. I'll be continually finding fresh uses for floorplans rather than returning to drawing my own.

The drugstore and church are easily reusable as other building types for my games, especially since they can be printed without names or furniture. The bank's distinctive style is very modern, similar to many new branches appearing for the major banks. While this has dinished its reusability somewhat, it has made it easier to visualize and relate to for my group.

I recommend buying the set, as it sure beats spending hours trying to find, scale and print building plans from online, or drawing your own.

Fabled Environments brings us yet another floor plan -- this one for a more or less modern, Victorian style mansion billed at being roughly 10,000 square feet. This particular floor plan would be useful for your modern campaign as a residence where a murder occurs, a Mafioso's mansion, a foreign embassy, a cult headquarters, or an abandoned "haunted house' with little in the way of re-working. One of the nice features is the various hidden rooms and passages which provide you with some opportunities to surprise and confuse your players. The graphics are basic but very clear and easy to use, with several different variations for each of the two floors. All in all, it's a good effort, and the price is excellent.

I thought this was useful since it gives a decent layout to work with for a building or buildings. Quality was pretty good. I would say this would be a good addition.
