GM's Map #70: Apartment Building 2

Everyone needs somewhere to live and in the crowded metropolises that have sprung up across the world, apartment buildings – small living units piled one atop the other, climbing several stories above street level, are home to many city inhabitants. At first glance, they are nothing more than that, homes for the many residences of hundreds of towns and cities around the world but step within their doors and the tales they can tell, tales of love and loss, crime and mystery... even the supernatural... are almost endless.

GM's Map #70 depicts a moderate apartment building, suitable for low to middle-income tenants depending on how well appointed and maintained they are. In addition to the maps themselves which are presented as JPEG and PNG options both with and without a square grid the product also includes a PDF with information about apartment buildings, a key to the map and 9 adventure hooks or ideas that you can develop into fully fledged adventures (or of course, write your own).

The apartments depicted are all single floor one or two bedroom apartments. The building also has a garbage chute, refuse room, a small commercial unit on the ground floor and laundry room in the basement along with other tenant services.

Sample Adventure Hooks in this product:-

8/. Hidden Treasure

They say little Jimmy Two Shots was involved in that bank job a few months ago and that he hid some money in his building. No one is sure how much or where he hid it but since he got hit by that bus last week he isn't going to be needing it anymore that's for sure. The PCs are involved in trying to find where Jimmy hid the money, but they aren't the only ones. Some of Jimmy's fellow bank robbers are looking for the money too and they ain't in a sharing mood. Then there is the drug dealer on the 3rd floor who has his own ideas about what should happen to the money and the loan shark that Jimmy still owed.

7/. The Prophet

The people of the apartment building a strange lot, and they have been growing stranger. Locals from other buildings find hem creepy and won't have anything to do with them, rumour has it that they are all members of some strange cult and that the man in apartment 303 stiles himself as some kind of prophet. Certainly, he seems to have strange powers over the minds of the other tenants – and no one has seen Mr Green from apartment 201 for weeks. Animals won't go near the building anymore, even birds seem to avoid it – all except the murder of crows that seem to circle the building constantly. Can the PCs get to the bottom of what is going on?
