0one's Blueprints: The Great City—Castle Ward PDF

The Castle Ward main building is, indeed, the Castle. This blueprint product details only the Castle, since as it is a huge building with more than 130 rooms, it could be considered a ward itself. Each map is a double-sheet map. The castle overlooks the entire Great City from the top of a green hill. Two gates on opposite sides give access to this mighty military structure. In times of needs, the castle can become a self-sufficient stronghold able to endure months of siege.

Levels include:
• Ground Floor: Part of the ground floor is public space. The magistrate's offices are found here, just next to the gateway. Beyond these public offices lie the castle's army detachment, the castle garrison, with barracks, refectories, storage rooms and all that's necessary to house a small part of the city army.
• 1st Floor: The first floor is split into two distinct parts. Just above the public offices stand the great audience hall where the city lord attends his duties to the citizens, and a private area of parlors where the most delicate affairs are run. On the opposite side lie the barracks of the lord's elite guards, just above the garrison's quarters.
• 2nd Floor: The second floor is split in half, though the halves are connected by large terraces. On the lord's apartments side, you can find the lord's bedroom, the office, the dining room and the guestroom. On the other side are the officers' quarters: these house utterly loyal soldiers that assist the lord in times of need.
• 3rd Floor: This floor is a large terrace. In times of war, huge catapults are built on this rooftop, from which it is possible to have a 360-degree view of the Great City and its environments.
• Dungeon: The underground level is by far the most important of the castle, since it houses the food warehouses, the cisterns which provide water to the entire castle through two wells, the armories, housing catapults and warfare tools, and the storage room. On this level you can find two jails, complete with torture chambers, and two well-hidden secret passages leading to the city below.

The Great City is a series of seven linked products that explore a whole fantasy city. The first PDF provides a map of the entire city; the other six products each detail one city district with the floorplans of its major buildings. Each of the products can easily be used as standalone product.

The Blueprints product line offers you old-fashioned blueprint-style maps for your adventures and campaigns. Each map includes 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 a degree of customization by taking full advantage of pdf technology. A small control bar (which will not be printed) on each map allows you to turn the grid on and off, eliminate the room numbers, fill the walls, or hide doors and furniture.

Each 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.
