Lovely gold-plated roofs accentuate a stone courtyard in the traditional style, a palace for the grandest of your Asia-inspired emperors — currently living or already dead!
Thoughts
- A fight might progress up the city streets, through the gate & into the courtyard, and into building gates on either side.
- You might only need the lower area, which resembles a city; or perhaps the courtyard, if you want to isolate a fight in a single area. The map can cleanly split in two if required.
Contents
- The Forbidden Palace: The classic palace, in golden roofing.
- Phantasmagoric Youkai Palace: A black-roofed palace lined with brilliant red maples & tinted with the subtle colors of autumn, for more explicitly Japanese settings.
- Canal Variants: A river flows through the palace walls, acting as a barrier to make the terrain more dangerous.
- Empty Canals: Variants of the canals with no water.
- Astral Ruins: A shattered Emperor’s palace adrift in deep space or the Astral Plane.
- Astral Portal: A fiery vortex portal in deep space!
- Day/Night/Rain Variants: Wherever applicable!
All maps are provided with & without square grids in WEBP format. (Please note that while WEBP is compatible with all major VTTs, it may not be previewable in old Windows 10 photo viewers.)
In addition, a Foundry module with a compendium of pre-built scenes for major variants is provided!
Furthermore, full-color PDF files in both single-page and divided poster formats are provided for printing!
- The divided poster PDFs are cut into US Letter-size pages; they have guidelines, sheet numbering, & a convenient sheet for sticking them together after you’ve printed them out, and have margins so that you don’t have to be pixel-perfect when cutting with your scissors.
- The single-sheet PDFs are suitable for making high-quality prints via print shops & on large-scale printers.
