A thousand stories play out in grand apartments and shabby tenements throughout the city. When adventurers drop in on a society family's dinner or rescue a captive tied up in an abandoned flat, the Game Master shouldn't have to draw every parlor and back stair. This Pathfinder Map Pack provides beautifully illustrated 5" × 8" map tiles that can be combined into a variety of apartments and businesses. Inside, you'll find 18 richly crafted map tiles, including:
Uptown Dining Room
Scholar's Library
Secret Safe House
Elegant Flat
Deserted Attic
Tiny Apartment
Game Masters shouldn't waste their time sketching maps whenever characters venture downtown. With Pathfinder Map Pack: Urban Sites, you'll always have dangers ready when your adventures seek out the secrets of the city!

This set has a few gems like the attic space. The scholar's library is unusual though. There are several rooms but they are not joined by doors. Each area has descending stairs. I guess you need to hit the basement and then come up in the next room. Even the mini tavern is a little strange with its configuration. There is a room with tables separating the tap room rather than having an open layout with a hearth.
They advertise a secret safe house but several tiles are so similar they may as well be the same and all of these could be the safehouse.
Overall, I'd say this set is worth it because you can throw down some fast locations in a moment's notice.
Oh- the open windows at the bakery with pies on the shelves is a nice touch.
I would have liked it if they had an alchemy shop, and a bank. Maybe something for the future?

Trying to think of some useful city spots we haven't seen yet...
* a bank
* a courtroom
* a small jail
* a fancy restaurant
* a cafe
* a small urban park
* a construction site
* a burned down building
* an urban stable and/or carriage house
* a laundry fountain
* small shrines
* a small brewery
* a blacksmith
* an office, either a single office or a small cluster of offices with a reception room (good for private investigators as well as small government offices)
* a portmaster's office or something related to shipping
* a crane
Maybe take advantage of the smaller-card format and do some two-story buildings, like a store with an upstairs, or I'd really love to see a two- to three-story townhouse. We have a lot of inns and a few small homes, but I don't think we have any examples of mid-level housing. Something with a nice walk-up first floor, maybe a walk-down apartment or cellar below, and a family sized upstairs. What would be really cool is to have one entry floor card, but several different upstairs - a normal one, one with a secret room, maybe even one with a murder scene. That way players would never know exactly what they were walking into. Great for investigations, or just PCs' city homes.
Urban park to go with Hell's Rebels 1st AP might be nice, maybe add a few more interesting things on said map to so one can use it for other locations as well?
Announced! Product image and description are not final and subject to change.
Interesting, so these are modular tiles you can use to create the map in different configurations? Sounds like the D&D 4th edition dungeon tiles I bought. Which have been rather handy as a GM even though I otherwise ignore 4th edition. Not all encounters that need a map in modules and scenarios have a map you can print out. And you don't always need a full dungeon map. So such an idea is awesome.
Will the printed version of this be available again?
If this were a flip-mat, it could be a candidate for a reprint in the Flip Mat Classics category -- but since they have discontinued the map packs, the answer is no.
