    Late Victorian/Pulp/Urban Fantasy Base Setting: Bolskine Manor

    working on some ideas for a Dark Champions/Urban Fantasy campaign, and I came up with what I think is the perfect place to use as a base.

    Bolskine Manor.
    http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Part...69/bole-1.html

    owned at one time by Alistair Crowley and later Jimmy Paige of Led Zeppelin
    it sits on the shores of Loch Ness, and has been rumored to be haunted.

    graveyard... check
    sits on the shores of Loch Ness
    supposed site of various occult activities for a couple of hundred years before
    Crowley moved in.
    also owned by a rock and roll legend at one time.

    48 acres of grounds is big enough to house all kinds of entertaining things, theres a boat house, stables, an orchard, an area used for rituals, at least one tunnel running to the graveyard from the house.

    anyone up for helping me flesh this out in Hero terms.

    that page gives room dimensions but no floor plan, should be easy to adapt based on a couple of aerial photos that show the whole house itself.

    First off, geocities is going down soon, so we need to make a backup of this entire site since it doesn't seem to be mirrored anywhere.

    House
    DRAWING ROOM (W). 26' 5" x 18' 2" (4 Hexes x 3 Hexes)
    PLAYROOM/FAMILY ROOM (N). 21' 3" x 18' 1". (3.5 Hexes x 3 Hexes)
    KITCHEN (W). 29' 7" (max) x 18' 1". (4.5 Hexes x 3 Hexes)
    DINING ROOM (W). 26' 6" x 18' 1". (4 Hexes x 3 Hexes)
    BEDROOM 1 (W). 18' 1" x 11' 6" (3 Hexes x 2.5 Hexes)
    BATHROOM 1 (W).
    BEDROOM 2 (W). 18' 1" x 11' 1". (3 Hexes x 2.5 Hexes)
    BEDROOM 2 (S&W). 19' 11" x 17' 11". (3.5 Hexes x 3 Hexes)
    EN SUITE BATHROOM 2.
    BEDROOM 4 (S). 21' 2" x 12' 9". (3.5 Hexes x 2 Hexes)
    BEDROOM 5 (N&E). 18' 1" x 16'. (3 Hexes x 2.5 Hexes)
    EN SUITE BATHROOM 3 (S).

    Lodge
    KITCHEN, LIVING ROOM (W). 14' 6" x 10'. (2.5 Hexes x 1.5 Hexes)
    BATHROOM (E).
    BEDROOM (S&W). 14' 6" x 10'. (2.5 Hexes x 1.5 Hexes)

    I'd draw these rooms on graph paper and then puzzle them out roughly to get the shape of the drawings.

    Here's a backup of the files on the house, just in case.
