GM's Map #72: Embassy
The grand building stands in a prominent place in the city. From within its walls, the Ambassador and his diplomatic staff oversee the mission of their government in this foreign land.
The embassy is a hotbed of intrigue and political wrangling where diplomatic decisions that could change the world for good or ill are made. Rumour has it that intelligence officers work out of the Embassy, and of course, it is one of the first places that citizens of the Embassies government turn when they are in trouble abroad.
This map pack includes both blueprint style and full-colour maps as well as a PDF containing a key, information about the work of diplomatic missions and 11 scenario ideas. Sample Adventure Ideas:
7/. We're Not Who We Are Your party have taken up their dream postings - embassy staff in an exotic location, minimum work, lots of partying. But strange things are happening. People are disappearing, or turning up - different. Everyone's smiles are too wide and too glib. The local police seem efficient but can't seem to comprehend the issues you take to them. Is there a cult? Are they cursed? Are they going mad? (M R McGowan)
10/. Well That's Torn It The PCs are long-serving embassy staff. Hard working, honest, patriotic, ideological pure... probably spies. The cypher room have some really bad news though – their government has just collapsed! Now the PCs and a number of NPCs are stuck abroad in an embassy for a country that is falling apart, sliding into civil war, and they aren't quite sure who's side they are supposed to be on. Meanwhile, the host country would really like to know what is going on and just who now runs the Embassies sending country. (Malcolm Heath ad B F Irving)
