(If you have read my review of Mansions and Manors, this might sound familiar.)
This is a great product for any GM who is pressed for time. (Aren't we all?) The maps are clear,
creative, and easily convertible to uses beyond those implied by the title. Unlike Mansions and
Manors, there were no color maps, but the shear size of most of the black-and-white maps makes
it obvious that color would have tremendously increased the file size (and therefore price). This is
definitely worth your money if you need generic floorplans. Of the four Darkfuries map collections,
this one (IMHO) is the third best, but the spread of the field is very narrow - they are all good. The
inclusion of the Maelstrom pantheon was interesting, though it isn't d20 (no domains were included,
not that they would be hard to figure out), but the deity SYMBOLS were great art that could serve a number of purposes.
On a side note, the customer support is good, also. I had a minor problem with my system that
Brian Moseley was able to help me resolve in less than fifteen minutes, first e-mail to last.
