Heckus Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 It's probably been asked a dozen times but, is there a good source for common maps to use for champions? I'm always needing odd maps for everyday places (diners, banks, gas stations, whatever) and usually have to draw them out on my hex map or print a blank sheet and draw it in marker but that takes time away from the action. It'd be nice if there was an online source from which to grab the easy stuff. Half the time the fight goes places i didn't intend, so i have to wing it (most recently my players lured the villains to a nearby park that I had forgotten about on the city map to avoid civilian casualties; I didn't ever map the park so they fought in an open field with a few scattered trees). Does anyone have a source? I need a simple Bank map. (I posted this under hero system discussion initially but thought it fit better here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alibear Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Re: I need a simple Bank map Bank maps? You explain that away when you're raided by the Police, Mister! I could send you Architect's Drawings of where I work but they take a very dim view of that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aylwin13 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Re: I need a simple Bank map I think I have one, but it's on my laptop at home. It'll be a few hours, but I'll check when I get home from work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heckus Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Re: I need a simple Bank map hehe, thanks. They don't have to be super detailed, just roughly to the champion's scale. i can add a hex grid if it doesn't have one. Does anyone know of any companies that still make generic maps that work well? I have a 3-story mall map w/ 1" hex grid that came with some zombie game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a source? I need a simple Bank map. (I posted this under hero system discussion initially but thought it fit better here) I found out a long time ago to grab maps of places when I saw them. Apartment complexes have floorplans of the various units AND a community layout too. Malls usually have maps, just ask the information desk (if the maps are not out in the open). Large parks, zoos, and amusement parks (ie Six Flags, Disney, etc). As soon as you start keeping your eyes open for maps free ones pop up all over. The real trick for saving time as a GM is planning on the front end. Get some posterboard and cut out common items to scale (cars, fire hydrants, manhole covers, etc). Then you just drop them down in the map. Also, trying making some common buildings. You players may groan "they are robbing the First National Bank again) at least you have more time to game.

aylwin13 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Re: I need a simple Bank map Heckus, I'm sorry. I totally forgot about this. I hope it's not too late. I found the map I was thinking of. It's a bank and a bar sharing a block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
