In the breakwaters just beyond the jetty south of the Points (beacons), anchored against the drifting tide floats a hodgepodge structure of moored docks, shanty houseboats and derelict barges crudely lashed together with free-floating gangways and protected by large nets strung between buoys filled with seaweed and flotsam. The floating tenements are inhabited entirely by halfling fishermen from the southern coast that emigrated to Azindralea to fish the rich shoals dancing with scuttlebacks, silver hake, and herring. Locals call the settlement the Saltshacks. Its sea-weathered residents cling to their simple traditions, content to live isolated from large folk except in matters of conducting business.
This set of maps contains an Overview of the Saltshacks area plus details of four areas:
The Lair of the Drunken Halfling (tavern)
The Houseboat
The Fish-Processing Barge
The Mall

The Blueprints product line offers you old-fashioned blueprint-style maps for your adventures and campaigns. Each map comes in a blueprint version and a standard black-and-white version. The maps are all vector-based for maximum print resolution. Despite their old-fashioned appearance, each map offers some degree of customization, using PDF technology at its best. A button (which will not be printed) on each map allows you to turn the grid on and off, eliminate the room numbers, fill in walls, hide doors and furniture, and many other options, depending on the map. Each 0one's Blueprints product features a classic fantasy adventure location: a dungeon, a keep, a temple complex, a thieves' guild and so on. You can use these maps as reference to build your own adventures or simply have them at hand in case your players go in an unexpected direction during the campaign.
While offering you the best quality, these products are really inexpensive.

Docks and boats can provide for entertaining adventure - and if this appeals, here's a setting in which to indulge. The storyline suggests its inhabited by halflings but there isn't anything in the maps to force that if it does not suit your needs. The overview map is excellent, with a twisting maze of piers and jetties with several boats and sheds - you start imagining a chase or running battle before you even turn the page. Next comes the Lair of the Drunken Halfling, a tavern mounted on a floating pontoon, with rowboats moored around. There's also a typical houseboat, with two decks, a barge used for fish processing and finally 'The Mall' - a large vessel that's been dry-docked and converted into a general store.
The usual technical mastery of PDF technology is evident, but it's the sheer inventiveness and variety of the locations that makes this mapset a winner.
