GM's Maps #43: Restaurant

ADD TO WISHLIST >

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.

The restaurant presented here is most suitable for either a family or a luxury restaurant some time between the 18th century and the modern day.

Restaurants in Your Games

There are a number of ways to use the restaurant map in your scenarios and campaigns:

Meeting Place

One obvious use for an establishment of this kind is as a meeting place, somewhere for the PCs to meet and talk to a useful NPC. The NPC maybe anyone that the PCs need to speak to. A witness, a suspect or even the main antagonist who may wish to meet his foes to get the measure of them, bribe them or intimidate them

Mysterious Goings On

The PCs may be investigating some mystery that leads them to the restaurant. Perhaps an outbreak of strange poisonings or murders have been traced back to the restaurant.

Of course the restaurant may be the sight of a murder or other crime that the party come to investigate.

Fight Scene

A restaurant can make a unique and fascinating location for a large and complex fight. With innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire and all those sharp implements lying about. Consider a pulp action style fight scene in which the battle rages through the entire building. Waiting staff might join the battle wielding trays or plates of food, chefs armed with cleavers or who try to drown enemy combatant in the soup. Those hot plates and cooker rings can make interesting hazards as the battle spreads and sooner or later someone is going to be hit with a chair or an incredibly expensive bottle of wine.

A fight in a restaurant can be a memorable scene that your players talk about for years to come and can be played either for laughs or as deadly serious.

Oh the Horror!

There are several horror scenarios that may use a restaurant, among them are the obvious possibility of the building being haunted. Another is related to what exactly is in that food? A outbreak of some strange disease such as Kuru in the city hints at cannibalism and the trail of clues eventually leads back to the restaurant.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
