If you are running a RPG on tabletop, this collection of maps is an invaluable resource. Often players will decide to do something critical in the most unlikely places, and the GM is caught trying to decide what cover a movie theater offers the heros when the villian starts spraying the lobby with lasers/gunfire/magic missiles. I highly reccomend this for both the tactically minded GM who needs a quick reference for combat situations and the theatrical GM who wants to set up a dramatic situation in a mundane location.

I was pleased when this book arrived as it has vivid colour and lots of maps. If you're a Game Master looking for modern or future maps this is perfect for you.
While the maps are all of modern day facilities, it's easily converted to a sci-fi or Apocalypse setting.
Each map contains numbers and a key for locations and are easily readable. They also contain ideas for possible storylines and information about the facility.
Some of the areas include bowling Alley, Arctic Station, Movie Theater, Bank and much more!
For the price Amazon is offering this, it's a must for any Game Master of D20 modern.

This book is exactly what it purports to be - a collection of generic locations that you can plug in to your campaign at the drop of a hat. In addition to the beautiful maps, there are descriptions (of course) as well as adventure ideas.
I would give this 4.5 stars if that was an option.
I deduct 1/2 star for:
It's a little pricey given it's only ~60 pages.
I would have rather seen a lab rather than the bowling alley.
The latter is only my preference. Other GMs may have been dreaming for years of having a shootout in a bowling alley. Then again, I'm probably in the majority.

This is an excellent collection of modern maps. There are 29 different locations including an arctic research station, yacht, shopping mall, bank, and a fastfood restaurant. Each map is accompanied by adventure ideas, the occasional NPC, and Structural features. The great thing about this source book is that you can use it for any "modern" rpg. Whether it's G.U.R.P.S, Mutants and Masterminds, or D20.
