Cold City Map Work

Because I like giving my players some decent props, I've drawn up a few maps for our Cold City campaign in progress.

There will only be one more week of this mini campaign, but that doesn't mean we can't have nice things.

 A warehouse raided in episode 1.
The Nazi bunker that has been requisitioned as an underground base of operations by the heroes (with convenient entrances via the subway and sewer system of course).
The Cathedral overtaken by cultists in episode 2.

Apologies for the completely off-topic comment, but I can't seem to find an email address for you. I'm helping to enter RPG information into the database at RPGGeek.com, and right now I'm working on the Game Chef 2011 entries. Your entry (The Great Bard) is no longer available at the given link (http://www.vulpinoid.com/the_great_bard.pdf). Is there an alternate download location? Another option, if you're willing to provide the PDF, is uploading it to RPGGeek when we have it's entry completed. Thanks for your time!

And the maps in your post here are absolutely fantastic!

I really need to fix that website. I'll try to get the 2011 game chef entry back up somewhere...I'll let you know once it's done.

Brilliant work! I especially like the bunker. Was it inspired by Lex Luthor's hideout in the 70's Superman movie?

I'm not entirely sure where the bunker ideas came from. I just saw the maps of the Berlin subway, and I remember that there were a whole complex of bunkers under Sydney (connected to St James Station if I remember correctly). Between that and the subway fight in the movie "Hellboy", it seemed a fun place to set up some potential coflct scenes. (Especially since Cold City has a "Hellboy"" vibe to it)

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
