GM's Maps #24: Castle 2: Large Keep

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Map making can be time-consuming and sometimes frustrating for GMs, especially GMs with limited time to begin with. In our new 'GM's Maps' range, we will be providing a range of pre-made maps for you to use in your games.

Castles have fascinated people for over a thousand years and have been a staple of Fantasy RPGs since the beginning.

Emerging in Europe and the Middle East around the 9th and 10th centuries they were a natural extension of other forms of fortified building that is also the residence of a noble of some kind. 

This map presents a large keep, the primary building in a castle. The full castle is likely to include a large wall enclosing an area large enough to house other, smaller buildings such as stables, granaries and so on. The inspiration for this particular castle has been drawn from several castles across the northern English county of Northumberland and is not a faithful representation of anyone castle. I have taken significant artistic licence since each castle was built from a unique design rather than a standard blueprint. However, I drew most heavily on the 12th century Warkworth castle, which lies near the town of the same name. Warkworth particularly influenced the design of the ground or entrance floor of this castle although in fact in the real castle the kitchen and buttery lie on the level above the main entrance which is reached by external stairs.

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
