The Library! GMs map #41 out now!

I'm lagging behind a little as far as keeping the Blog updated goes, sorry about that folks, I'll try to do better.

Anyway, the most recent addition to our GM's maps range is one for the investigative horror or mystery fans - GM's Map #41, The Library!

A 4-storey Library suitable for a range of historical periods from the Renaissance to the near future via the Victorian period or the 1920s

Libraries are a staple for investigative and investigative horror games. Your PCs may spend hours upon hours studying dusty tomes or old newspaper articles, pouring over every word to find those vital clues that might lead them to uncover the truth. However, they don't need to be some vaguely defined notion against which the PCs make a succession of research skill rolls, bring your libraries to life with this, the 41^st offering in our GM's maps range.

Libraries can themselves be the locale for some mystery, murder, robbery or haunting, or perhaps the PCs unleash some monstrous horror from beyond with their incautious studies. In a post-apocalyptic world, the last remaining libraries are a treasure trove of lost knowledge that might be worth fighting and even dying over.

Make your library an integral part of your adventures and you can develop some memorable scenes that players will remember for years to come.

GM's Map Halloween Special Launched

Map making can be time-consuming and sometimes frustrating for GMs, especially GMs with limited time to begin with. In our new 'GM's Maps' range, we will be providing a range of pre-made maps for you to use in your games.

Mist swirls about the skeletal trees as the two figures creep towards the darkened house on midnight lane. The cold seeps into their bones as each one goads the other on,
“You scared bro?”
“Me? N... no, it's just a house. They are only stories, what's to be afraid of?”

“Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Just stories,”
From the attic window, a pale face watched the two students approach. Long dead eyes glared at the two young men.
“Oh yes!” it hissed, “Just stories. The truth is much worse!”

Our Halloween special is an American Colonial style house ripe for the haunting by whatever ghosts, ghouls or ghastly creatures you care to summon up.

re sinister experiments away from prying eyes?

Workhouses were a fact of life in several countries during the 18th and 19th centuries the poor, the sick and the orphaned would often find themselves in the loveless, cold embrace of such an institution. Miserable places in which paupers and orphans would be put to work in exchange for basic accommodation and food.

Even in these lowly conditions, the inmates could not escape the rigid class structures so common in Victorian Britain and they would be divided into first and second class paupers, those deemed of 'Good character' and those deemed of bad.

With histories such as these, workhouses would make ideal places for hauntings in horror RPGs. However, imaginative GMs may come up with all sorts of ways to use such buildings. Perhaps the PCs are condemned to live in such an establishment, or perhaps they are investigating some crime committed there. Gangs of criminals may even be hiding out in such a building or, in more recent times perhaps the building is no longer the workhouse it once was but has been converted to another use?

Historically old workhouse buildings have been converted to hospitals, schools, museums, residential apartments, shop units and even civic buildings. Some were even converted into hotels.

Converted Workhouses were remodelled to various degrees to suit their new purposes.
