looking for "cantina royale", "grand hotel", or "auction house" map

By EliasWindrider, in Game Masters

Hi all,

I'm looking for a map to use for my next session... I'd like something "rizty" with something like a grand ball room. It's going to be the site of an auction attended by the criminal elite.

Can any of you point me at something like that?

Google some hotel floor plans:

Shangri La Sydney

Sofitel Sydney

Menzies hotel Sydney

The added benefit is you can find a place that is local (any bets for where I hail from?) and it should have photographs.

I didn't see any floor plans on those websites only photos. Could you post links to the floor plans. I need something that I can print and put minis on (I can scale it if I need to). They don't have to be professional quality miniatures battle map; given that they need to steal something back blue prints wouldn't be terrible for this, might even add some cool narrative flavor. I ought to start an obsidian portal for this campaign, I think 5th at would let me post the maps I'm using for this campaign (I downloaded a whole lot of good ones that used to be on a WotC star wars minis related site called the holocron). I've cut up large maps into pieces that I could print on either 11 by 17 sheets (for printing at office max) or 8.5 by 11 sheets (home printer). I figured that the cut up maps could be very useful to the community

Have you considered Chris West's "Nightlife Tiles" set?

Thanks Phil, I had forgotten that existed. I just ordered 2 sets of it (I expected that I needed 2 set to make a ritzy map large enough), one set of the sci-fi cargo (tiles), and one set of distant outpost tiles.

I guess I'll use this as my back up if my tiles don't come tomorrow (maps of mastery said delivery in 3 to 5 business days, I ordered it Friday October 31. And my game is Saturday... I was hoping they'd get here today so that I could do a bit of prep tonight (thursday)

maps of mastery tiles will get here either tomorrow or monday so I printed this

armored-spaceport-dl.jpgas my backup. technically it's a commercial spaceport but it could pass as a ritzy hotel

That is pretty. Where'd you find it?

Oh and I've got something to say, Chris West (maps of mastery) is awesome, because the delivery delay was due to an error on his part he provided my with pdfs of the tiles last night so I could make the map I wanted for today's session. I won't be posting the map because it would violate the conditions that gave me the digital copies of the tiles under but I couldn't be happier for doing business with him. The map I made last night takes 20 tiles and is 16 inches by 50 inches, and I'm printing it today on in five 17 by 11 strips, and it will cost me $6.25 to print aft office max (that is cheaper than the cost of ink for my my printer to make it on 8.5 by 11 sheets [i have a all in one printer that can print photos so the ink is killer expensive].). So yeah do business with Chris West.

My tiles from Chris west came 5 minutes before I was going to office max to print the map. I recommend that anyone who is planning to by 1 set of the "nightlife" tiles actually get 2 sets. With all but 4 of the tiles in 2 sets (24 tiles) I was able to make an awesome auction house (grand ballroom for the auction)/casino 2 rooms, plus a second story staff only room above the second casino room, and the staff only area is where the macguffin was kept

How did the session go?

And here is the photo of the map I made from two sets of the "nightlife" tiles. Seriously if any of your are thinking about buying one set of the nightlife tiles, I strongly recommend getting two sets. I used all but 4 of the cards total from two sets of the tiles for that map

The proficiency die is where the macguffin was being kept prior to the auction and the pcs had to swap a dummy chip for the (copy of the) real data chip that was being auctioned.

Oh and while it happened largely off camera, prince xizor won the auction. That happened in the grand ball room on the left side of the map. The large empty of tables/chairs área is where Gorga Desilijic Aarrpo and his entourage were for the auction.
