First of all, all of the Shadowplans series are pretty fantastic. They print well, convert to VTT well, are just the right size so they can be expansive and detailed without making someone's toaster PC chug, and they're also printer friendly without detail loss (tested this myself with this specific map.) It also comes with a security grid and a bunch of icons you can easily use on other maps for your games. It also works just fine at Roll20's default grid size, having been fixed some time ago.

Subway Station is a thoroughly well-made map, specifically when it comes to flanking and elevation for a combat scenario. My players and myself had a hell of a time with this one and I actually think for small-scale wargaming this could be a useful map if there are any games that are based around small squads. It created a lot of naturally cinematic sightlines, flanking maneuvers, and near-fatal encounters due to the amount of cover, elevation, and varying sightlines. Big fan of this one.

Overall, the Shadowplans - Minimall map pack is pretty great!

I'm going to skim over the fine details of how the map operates beause - as I've posted on other Shadowplans reviews - the attention to quality, options, and ability to easily drop these puppies into an active VTT game or work as a print-out remains true throughout the entire series. Gridded or gridless, any of the 3 colors, these maps truly just work and look pretty and readable.

Having used it now twice in different groups - one for combat encounters and one for actual shopping - I can say that as a combat map it is very, very well laid out. The amount of cover, sightline obsfuscations, flanking routes and elevation made this truly fun to see my players in. On top of that, it comes with a pre-set security overlay which also proved to be helpful in my Shadowrun game, with the customization icons a Godsend for future gaming as they can be used separately on your own - or other - maps with ease.

While not as modular as City Streets, Minimall only really suffers in one other way: there are no bathrooms. My players torture me by looking for bathrooms, and they felt victorious here. A nitpick at best, but something to note if your players are gremlins who look for that kinda thing that is oft forgotten.

Having purchased this map pack a while ago, it took me a bit to actually get to it due to tabletop scheduling and finding the perfect use. I typically don't purchase these 'larger' map packs that have multiple versions of the same map mostly due to sticker shock on most of them. That being said, the entire Shadowplans series is absolutely fantastic. The City Streets maps I have used multiple times in multiple groups.

As I am primarily a VTT DM, I have only used these digitally. Where most are grainy, low resolution or so high resolution I have to jump into photoshop and compress it down, these are all beautiful and just detailed enough so that you can slap these things down without issue. I won't get too much into the actual layout of the main map itself because it doesn't really matter thanks to the tilesets that are offered with this pack. I have, however, used the base map and I found it sufficient for use multiple times as my generic intersection/market area/city block/et al when my players have pulled some baloney.

The tilesets also are just worth the price of admission, because you can slap down an apartment block filled with apartments, stores, gang hideouts, backrooms, barber shops, bars, etc. like it was nothing. It cuts down on prep time significantly when you have something like this in your GM arsenal. For the price I purchased it, it was and still is a no-brainer and if any of you out there are Cyberpunk 2020/RED or Shadowrun gamemasters, this is something I 100% recommend without hesitation.

Shadowrun GM here, purchased this in order to make a few maps for my campaign. I use Roll20 VTT and thought this would be a good pack. Well, I quickly found out that the tile sizes are very inconsistent and have lots of "dead space" (no relation to the videogame lol), so it's difficult to just "drag & drop" into Roll20. The product description says you can use GIMP/Photoshop to build maps and upload to VTTs, however I haven't done so as I was hoping I could just upload the pieces individually to Roll20.

Aside from that gripe, the tiles themselves are pretty neat. Just hope the author makes them more compatible w/ Roll20 in the future.

These maps are amazing. Please make DungeonDraft asset packs!

amazing assets! any thought to creating DungeonDraft asset pack! I would buy it instantly.

How the hell is anyone supposed to use this on a VTT? Inconsistent file sizing, dead spacing around tiles, and a complete lack of any support for modern VTT programs. Don't bother. Wasted money.

Shadowplans' maps are absolutely brilliant!

Each includes gridded and ungridded options, VTT copies and blue print copies of each map. The overlays are the icing on the cake, perfect for a game where infiltration is a key component of game play. I've been looking for maps like these for a long time and Shadowplans delivers big time.

Generally Like the Shadowplans maps, und used them several times in my Shadowrun-campaign. Immagine my surprise when one of my players looked at these docks and asked "Where's the loading crane?" I thus would advise other GMs against using this one for cargo-ships. Still looks great tho!
