GM's Map #12 Released. Mansion (Perfect for your Haunted House Scenarios)

Just $1, introductory offer

Mansions, grand houses of the rich and famous, often steeped in history and dating back several centuries.

The mansion presented here is a medium to large example of a type of mansion that would have been built from the early 18th century onwards in Britain, Europe or America.

4 levels in all, a basement, ground floor, first floor and attic levels all mapped out in JPEG, and BitMap as well in a PDF with notes form the author.  Just $1 as part of an introductory offer.
Scenario Ideas
Large houses such as this are a staple of Gothic horror, since they tend to have a long history they make ideal locals for ghost stories or other tales of Gothic horror.
Similarly mansions often feature in detective and mystery fiction. We are all probably familiar with the inspector sent to investigate a murder at a mansion house during a social gathering or country retreat.
Fans of hiest drama should have no problem finding a use for a mansion map in a daring robbery stile adventure. Perhaps the party seek to steal a valuable painting from the wall or the lady of the manors jewels.
In espionage games the manor house may be the home of some nefarious agency or foil to the PCs who they seek to confront or perhaps they are out to put his house under surveillance, wiring it with listening devices or hidden camera's.
The house could make an interesting base of operations for a group of survivors in a post apocalyptic world. Certainly a mansion house is not as secure as a castle but can post apocalyptic beggars be choosers?
Mystery and horror may be the commonly accepted order of the day for places such as this, but don't shy away from letting your imagination run riot and finding ways to use the mansion in any genre of play you wish.
