Welcome to 0one's Blueprints!

The Blueprints product line offers you old-fashioned blue-printed maps for use 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 pdf technology at its best. A small control bar (which will not be printed) on each map allows you to turn the grid on and off, eliminate room numbers, fill the walls, or not 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 maps as reference to build your own adventures, or simply keep 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 Haunted Manor

Rising near the dangerous cliffs of Darkwood, the haunted manor is an old building made of dark rock and crimson rooftops. It is whispered that a long-dead noble family who has a strong relationship with obscure deities of the past inhabited the manor. People of the nearby town say the noble family unearthed something from the ancient circle of monoliths, something that changed their life. No one dares to approach the manor even if a bold woodcutter named Isaac does live near the manor. Isaac is a strange man, though. Some people say that smugglers made their hideout beneath the manor, in the underground dock; this rumor would be confirmed by the strange dancing lights one can see during the night around and in the manor. The manor is said to be haunted because it lies empty. But, oddly, all its contents are perfectly preserved. A thick layer of dust covers everything, but no part of the building shows signs of damage. All who have tried to claim the manor didn't pass the first night inside the dark walls, fleeing on the following morning having the devil on his backs.

Darkwood Cliffs

An area map depicting the manor, the Darkwood cliffs, the circle of monoliths, and the woodcutter's cottage.

Haunted Manor - Ground Floor

The ground floor belongs to servants' apartments, guard barracks, kitchen, and warehouses. A small courtyard featuring a well and a portico is located in the middle of the building. From the courtyard you can access to a small chapel and to the dining room, as well as to the stables. Four spiral staircases lead up to the first floor and down to the dungeon. A couple of marble-finished large staircases lead to the first floor from the foyer.

Haunted Manor - First Floor

The first floor was the "noble" floor since it features nobles' apartments featuring rich, marble-covered bathrooms and lush furnishings. A wide hallway, flanked by grim-looking stone statues of strange men lead to nobles' wing as well as to library and dinner wing. The library remains absolutely untouched, with even some open books on the tables.

Haunted Manor - Dungeon

Part of the dungeon is now a warehouse and a dock serving daring smugglers, who didn't believe the rumors floating around the manor. Still they didn't dare to venture far into the dungeon or in the manor, using a small part of the dungeon as dock and storage. The rest of the dungeon features three crypts and some secret rooms where are hidden secrets too horrible to be revealed.

Woodcutter's Cottage and Circle of Monoliths

The woodcutter's cottage is a large wooden building consisting of one large room and a wood storage. In the large room, featuring a fireplace, a working bench, tables and beds, dwells Isaac the woodcutter. The circle of monolith is an ancient monument of unknown origins, it features a large area encircled by ancient standing stones and a blood-spattered altar. The blood on the altar doesn't seem too old . . .

Grid Style: This map product features both a square grid and a hex grid.
