Globial Positioning maps from Poly

[Doc_Souark]

These things are great ! good detail and places where a Modern campaign would go as well. So has anyone made any adventure to go with the maps ? This Months Bowling Alley map got me to thinging about what adventures would lead PCs there so here goes.......

1. Inheretence; One of the PCs crazy uncle left him the Busted Pins Bowling Emporium, unfortinally not all is what it appears.
2. Get a clue; A contact has asked to be met at the local Bowling Alley, the PCs find him with his head stove in
3. Place of Employment; One of the PCs has a REAL JOB ! He's the shoe man at the bowling alley and the local drug dealer is working the place too.
4. Gremlins ! In a UA campagin the Shadowkind owner asks the PCs to help him rid his place of Grimlins ( and you find out the kids at the arcade are really halflings )

Chistopher West, otherwise known as Map Maker on these boards, does some AWESOME maps and I would love to see him come out with a book of them. (HINT HINT) In my opinion, his work on GP and the SW maps is one of the few saving graces of the Dung/Poly mag. As for which maps of his I will make use of, the answer would would be that I have used or am planning to use all of them in due time.

Airforce Base (Poly 155) Although it's before the GP series, it is a CW map which I make heavy use of. It is the HQ of my players which is called Apha Base. About the only thing I changed was that I added some more buildings and got rid of the planes
Municipal Police Station (Poly 157) Although it was too small to be regular police station except for a smaller town, in my opinion, I have placed it in Alpha Base as a sort containment center for unruly beings

Bowling Alley (Poly 162) I may use it as a indoor shooting range for Alpha Base, depending on how long the lanes are or how easy the map will be to modify, or leave it as is. I hav'nt seen the map yet so I'm really not sure on this

BTW, what other GP maps are in the new Poly. I already know about the SW maps which I'm looking forward to

Hint, Hint from me too, the Bowling Alley was the only map, in Poly 162, but Poly 161 had 3 in it a Corperate Office, Pawn Shop and a "Sleazy Bar".

If I recall correctly, Poly 161 also had a small cemetary GP map as well but I was'nt impressed with it as it stands. I may change to a memorial park at a later date. Concerning the Office map in that issue, which was a good one in my opinion, I added a couple more floors to it as well as a underground garage for a hostage crisis adventure in the near future

Actually, I'd rather he do a PDF 'book' of maps, so I can print them out instead of trying to photocopy everything.

 

[Psychotic Dreamer]

Gotta agree with Kesh on this one. A PDF book of good quality maps would be grerat.

Global Positioning Maps

Hi, all!

I'm thrilled to hear that you guys are enjoying the Global Positioning series. I love to learn what people are doing with the maps, and it's very rewarding to see new plot hooks that involve them!

Regarding the book idea: this is something we've discussed, and the demand certainly seems to exist...I've seen lots of requests for such a product. There's no official news yet, but I can tell you it's something I personally would love to see happen.

The tricky part is: Paizo keeps me so busy (bless their souls!) that I have little spare time to devote to an outside project like that. I'm not ruling out the possibility of a PDF collection of new maps somewhere down the road, but I think a printed collection of existing Global Positioning maps (perhaps accompanied by new adventure ideas and related d20 tidbits) has more probability in the short term. Keep your fingers crossed.

For those keeping track, here's a list of GPS maps published to date:

Municipal Police Station
Large Metropolitan Bank
Downtown Night Club
Fast Food Restaurant
Large Family Residence
Sleazy Urban Bar + Pawn Shop
Corporate Office Building
Modern Cemetery
Bowling Alley

I'm not sure if the next map in the series has been seen yet (it should go to subscribers pretty soon, I think...) so I won't spoil the surprise just yet.

And now I have to run...gotta put the finishing touches on another map.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

You're doing a great job MapMaker keep it up, arwhat progrom e the maps made on if any BTW ?

I used the Sleazy Urban Bar + Pawn Shopmap in my last game BTW, with a secret tunnel connecting them. Do you take request for upcomeing issues ?

Thanks, Doc! I build them in Adobe Photoshop, for the most part.

Cool idea with the tunnel! And yep, I'm always open to suggestions. I keep a list of cool map ideas for future reference, and mark them off one at a time as I work through them. The list actually grows faster than I can finish maps, but that's a good thing... ;-)

Well if you asking for suggestions MM Here's a couple....

A multi-use Sports complex, We used the floor plans for Alltell arena in Little Rock in the last game, but it didn't have the detail.

A Retail Store like Wal-mart, Target etc.

A Mortuary

I did notice a car that looked like the General Lee from Dukes of Hazard in one of the maps, did you put it there on poupose as a joke or it just happened ? If the formal any other little "Easter eggs we should look for ?
