It is all about location - a Mephisto review
Blade Runner RPG Map Pack
The Blade Runner RPG Map Pack is a set of eight maps for individual buildings and one map depicting an entire street. The individual buildings offer typical Blade Runner locations, including an apartment, a factory, a street store, a nightclub, a workshop, an office, a bar, and a larger office complex. There is also a more extensive map in the form of the street, which includes several buildings on both sides of the street.
The maps are kept in the style of the previous Blade Runner maps and also show furniture and explanatory labels. While the maps for the street or the nightclub can provide an overview of more complex terrain, maps such as the apartment or the office, which only consist of one room, are rather unspectacular and probably not very helpful.
In addition, the existing case files come with their own special maps. If this set of maps were included in the Starter Set or the Core Rules, it would have been an interesting addition. As a separate product, however, it falls a little short of expectations and is an unspectacular addition to the game.
