Lil' Tweaker Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 So I’d like to run a scenario in the burned out and abandoned parts of Detroit. The idea is a feral hunter/serial killer that’s been taking out bums, teenagers and now cops within a specific area of abandoned warehouses. Now the hero’s have to go in and put a stop to this thing on its own turf. I’d like to set up a Gotham type feel with the heroes scouring the seedy underside of the city. Here’s the problem… I’m from Denver, CO. Butterflies and pretty mountains. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a suitable map to represent this rundown, beat up nightmare piece of the city? Anyone have something like this? Or even a map of the wastes of Detroit. I’d prefer digital format that I can get my hands on pretty quickly. If anyone can help me I’ll be your friend for a WHOLE DAY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuestionMan Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Re: City Maps: the Dark Side of the City Try photo's, images, & CNN type footage of the Former Republic of Yugoslavia during the 1990's, New York 9/11, Deconstruction Projects in the city. Shadowrun had a Denver Boxset and Chicago was destroyed by bugs. Susano's website "Surbrook's Stuff" has some great cityscape shots. Try the Matrix (Movie) for the ruins effect. Classics like Blade Runner (Movie) and Terminator 1 & 2 Flashes of the Future/or Past. The after effects of natural disasters like earth quakes and tsunamis at night. Anime/Manga has plenty of Post Apocolypse "Apple Seed", "Silent Mobius", and "Battle Angel Alita". And of coarse "AKIRAAA!!!" Twighlight 2000 (aka BloodBath 2000) had plenty of City Maps of destroyed Eastern European Cities. Cheers QM P.S.: Do you want links?

keithcurtis Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Re: City Maps: the Dark Side of the City I think he's looking for maps. I'm not sure how you would indicate wastes or seedy undersides on a map. Could you be a bit more specific on what you need, Tweaker?

Lil' Tweaker Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Re: City Maps: the Dark Side of the City indeed. I could just go grab a city map of Denver, but I’d like to get my hands on maps of rundown industrial areas. I have no idea how they are actually laid out as opposed to downtown Denver. I can do all the seedy descriptors myself, but the building layout is something foreign for this mountain boy. Links would definitely be appreciated. -J Wow, I remember Keith “something funny” Curtis from way back when I first hit the boards and could barely even count to D6. Nice to see some of the good ol’ boys are still here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithcurtis Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Re: City Maps: the Dark Side of the City Again, these aren't maps, but some of the buildings are very detailed: http://www.modern-ruins.com/ Also, Champions Battlegrounds has a good run-down warehouse, and a building site that could easily be considered "abandoned".
