ADD TO WISHLIST >

Welcome to Øone’s Blueprints!
The Blueprints product line offers you old-fashioned blue printed maps for using in your adventures and campaigns. For each map you get a blueprint version and a standard black and white version. The maps are all vector-based so you will get maximum print resolution. Despite their old fashioned appearance each map offers you a degree of customization by using the pdf technology at its best. A small control bar (which will not be printed) on each map allows you to turn on and off the grid, eliminate the room numbers, get the walls filled and don’t show doors and furniture.
Each product features a classic fantasy adventure location: a dungeon, a keep, a temple complex, a thieves’ guild and so on. You can use these map as reference to build your own adventures or simply take them at hand in case your players go in an unexpected direction during the campaign.
While offering you the best quality, these products are really cheap.

The Great City, Castle Ward

The Castle Ward main building is, indeed, the Castle. This blueprint product details the Castle only, because it could be considered a ward itself, being it a huge building with more than 130 rooms. Each map is a double-sheet map.
The castle overlooks the entire Great City from the top of a green hill. Two gates, on opposite sides, give access to this mighty military structure. In times of needs, the castle can become a self-sufficient stronghold able to endure months of siege.
The number of the building refers to the map available in the Great City blueprint. The description of the castle levels follows.

• Ground Floor: Part of the ground floor is a public domain space. The magistrates offices are found here, just next of the gateway. Beyond these public offices lie the castle’s army detachment, the castle garrison, with barracks, refectories, storage rooms and all the necessary to house a small part of the city army.

• 1st Floor: The first floor is split in two distinct parts. Just above the public offices stand the great audience hall, where the city lord attends his duties to the citizens and a private area of parlors where the most delicate affairs are run. On the opposite side lie the barracks of the lord’s elite guards, just above the garrison’s quarters.

• 2nd Floor: The second floor is dedicated to the lord’s apartments and comes split in half even if connected by large terraces. On the lord’s apartments side, you can find the lord’s bedroom, the office, the dining room and the guestroom. On the other side there are the officers quarters: these are utterly loyal soldiers that can assist the lord in times of needs.

• 3rd Floor: This floor is a large terrace. In times of war huge catapults are built on this rooftop, from which it is possible to have a 360-degree view of the Great City and its environments.

• Dungeon: The underground level is by far the most important of the castle, since it houses the food warehouses, the cisterns which provide water to the entire castle through two wells, the armories, housing catapults and warfare tools, and the storage room. On this level you can find even two jails, complete of torture chambers, and two well-hidden secret passages leading to the city below..

For my money, 0one's Blueprints are the best value to be had anywhere on the internet for gaming resources. The Castle Ward of the "Great City" package is no exception. It details a castle that is featured in the Great City, but can be plop [...]

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.
