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

[shadowcat1313]

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/Parthenon/7069/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.

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.
