RPG map showing the ground floor of a clock tower. Several governmental offices take up this space. An information desk greets you when you walk in, where attendants stand behind metal screens and direct you to the various stations. On both sides of the doors are long, curving counters filled with books and papers behind which are filing cabinets, cases, and shelves with papers and scrolls. Rows of chairs await impatient bodies to sit in them, and several desks opposite them. In the rear is another waiting area filled with chairs behind which is another counter and several shelves of resource materials. Are they magical ability testing offices? Local government permit stations? Offices for the payment of taxes? All of the above? A single desk near the back sits near a spiral staircase to the next level. A receptionist there might direct you to the upper offices, the library, or the roof. In the center of the room is the lowest section of the clock tower, where a massive pendulum swings behind glass. A single restroom in the far corner services the entire floor, which is probably poor planning on their part when crowds gather.

RPG map of a large library. One arrives her via a spiral staircase in the right rear corner of the building. The stairs continue up to the next level. A reception/checkout desk with stacks of books and a filled cart ready to return books to the shelves occupies this space, next to a small public restroom. The entirety of the open floor plan is filled with shelves and shelves of books, dotted with comfy chairs and couches, a row of private desks, and a round table for quiet discussion in one corner. A small desk in the front left corner sits near stairs that lead upward; the entrance to government offices (by appointment only) and it is walled off by a short wooden railing to maintain security. Huge, wrought iron windows allow natural light into the space. In the center, the bulk of the clock continues upward, and another view of the pendulum is visible.

RPG map of the third level of a clock tower. This level contains both private the public spaces. The front half is taken up by the spiral staircase, reception desk, magistrate's office, and several more opulent offices filled with desks, chairs, bookshelves, and office accoutrements. The rear half of this floor contains two large meeting rooms, one with matching double conference tables, and one with a single, long conference table. Both allow access to an open area with two large tables and a water station (possibly for snacks, possibly for conference paperwork and materials, or both), and a reception desk also occupies the space to help direct attendees. A restroom sits behind the spiral staircase, which continues upward to the next floor. The clock occupies the center of the space, although the view of the internal workings are not very interesting at this level, but are visible behind the reception desk before the mayor's office.

RPG map showing a clock tower surrounded by small offices, with a long, narrow public space on one side. The level is reached by two spiral staircases, one on the front left and one on the rear right. The front left allows access to the office space, which is dominated by a huge office with a violet rug, large desk, two comfy chairs, and several bookshelves and display cases. Eleven small offices take up the bulk of the space, with varied functions from accounting to potions testing. The open area on the right side has been turned into a children's play area, complete with a tent, rocking horse, dollhouses, gaming table, and several assorted toys. Two couches sit nearby for parents to wait upon. A single desk and bannister that runs the length of the room separates the play area from the offices, which sit behind closed doors. The spiral staircase and restroom occupy the right corner, along with another couch to wait upon. A second restroom in the left corner is for the office workers. The spiral stairs lead to the roof. In the center of the space is the clock tower, walled off from the public by an enclosed room, in which sits crates of tools and parts, along with a ladder for repair of the clock's mechanisms.

RPG map of a city keep showing the ground floor of the circular stone structure. A large double door accesses it and arrow slits are situated all around. Inside, one is met with racks of weapons for the city guard's use. An iron door leads to a large office with a desk and a couple of chests for storage, as well as a bookshelf for records. This is the local jailer's office and a second iron door leads to a single cells with three bare-bones beds and a bucket. The beds are mostly unmade, as if there isn't much use for the space in a peaceful town. In the center of the first room, stone steps rise around a circular platform, leading to the first floor. NOTE: This map is available for free download on Dungeon Alchemist's Steam Workshop.

RPG map showing the first floor of a stone keep. The stone steps from the ground floor lead to this welcoming space, where a golden brown sofa and chairs greet you. A tan circular rug and small table complete the space, and a gaming table with four chairs rests nearby. To the right is a sort of museum space showing a collection of arms; spears in a rack, longbows upon the wall, and display cases with a dagger, axe, and hand crossbow, all of which look more functional than decorative: perhaps a show of force rather than wealth? A small cabinet with bar supplies sits next to a taller cabinet with many drawers, most likely records of some sort based upon the writing supplies that decorate the top. Two plain chairs occupy a nearby space, next to a large desk and bookshelf. Despite the decorative plants flanking a large chest nearby, this is clearly a space for business over pleasure, although a cozy seating area with violet chairs that wait before the fireplace denote a place to rest and enjoy a beverage if business goes well. Two more tall bookshelves wait nearby, likely filled with historical texts and business-related works. Opaque windows are dotted throughout the room, letting in light to warm the space. Stone steps that match those descending rise to the next floor. NOTE: This map is available for free download on Dungeon Alchemist's Steam Workshop.

RPG map showing the second floor of a stone keep. Stone steps from below empty into a large, open room filled with the delicious scent of food preparation. Kitchen preparation tables, food storage crates and shelves fill most of this room and surround a large fireplace. An informal table and chairs is separated from the larger dining table by a decorative wooden screen, the only nod to a wall on this floor. Several plants soften the dining space and make it more welcoming, and a service table rests nearby with a tea service waiting to provide a warm beverage to those in need. Cabinets, barrels, and shelves holding cooking supplies, and a marble-topped table is stuffed with cookery books filled with tempting recipes. Stone steps in front of the fireplace continue to the upper floor. NOTE: This map is available for free download on Dungeon Alchemist's Steam Workshop.

RPG map showing the third and final floor of a stone keep. This floor contains the private living quarters of the keep's commanding officer. The stone steps rise to a large room nearly empty but for three bookshelves. A nearby fireplace provides warmth and a large square rug, chaise lounge, and chair (in vibrant blue) provides a place to rest and relax. Tucked into a triangular corner is a matching cosy chair and footrest, as well as another bookshelf and hanging lamp to provide light for reading: the perfect nook for a book lover. Near the stairs, a door opens into a huge bedchamber. A table and dummy allow the doffing and easy storage of a suit of armor, and a nearby mirror is helpful when it's time to put the armor back on. A large circular rug is topped with a huge half-canopied bed (also in blue) and the remainder of the space is filled with storage chests, closets, and another shelf for books. It's possible whomever resides here has too many clothes. A door from the bedroom leads to a large batch with a wooden tub, wood-clad toilet, vanity table, and several small tables that hold towels and washing supplies. A comfortable rug provides for dry feet and helps to prevent slipping. NOTE: This map is available for free download on Dungeon Alchemist's Steam Workshop.

RPG map of a kobold lair lurking beneath the city streets. A ladder drops down from the warehouse above into a storage room and from there into a maze of old crates to a broken wall that leads into a winding tunnel. Several rocky outcroppings can hide lurking denizens to confront strangers. A mushroom patch grows in one corner, lit by a patch of sunlight streaming through the broken planks above and also lighting an old stone staircase that leads to an abandoned cabin and emergency exit. The final cave holds a firepit and broken furnishings salvaged from the city above.

RPG map of city streets and several buildings, including a warehouse packed with old crates. A trapdoor in the far corner leads down to a basement and access to caves below. Near the warehouse is another empty warehouse, an old furnished cabin, and abandoned cabin with stairs leading down through the broken floor, and a smithy. Also nearby is a small park with grass and trees, a stable a brewery storage room, and a large room currently being used by a local artist to hammer out metal and woodworked items.

RPG map of the upper floor of a city map showing a large warehouse complete with many crates and shelved filled with goods (or perhaps empty and used as a front). Also shown is the upper floor of a nearby warehouse, empty but for a scattering of items left behind, plus the open upper floor of a smithy. The upper floor of the nearby stable hold hay and a trapdoor to toss down hay to the stable floor below.

RPG map of city buildings with roofs, plus a nearby park.

RPG map of a city market square with several vendor tents and awnings set up. One awning, in two shades of blue, has a display table filled with assorted mushrooms in many colors and sizes. Next to that is a purple awning that covers a meat vendor next to a dirt-filled animal pen for the freshest of meats available. Behind the pen is a gold awning that covers two mysterious crates and a small table. Large purple tentacles writhe upon the table. A green awning covers two large tables filled with the wares of the local blacksmith, including pots and pans, hammers, assorted weapons, and even a suit of armor. An anvil sits nearby, ready to repair items on the spot. Red awnings in the center of the square advertise the vegetable stand, which has many fruits and vegetables on display, including pumpkins, cauliflower, gourds, carrots, melons, potatoes, turnips, and leeks. Next to that sits a flower vendor beneath silvery grey awnings. Vibrant flowers in all colors spill from baskets. In the lower left corner sits a large stand with a blue awning that partially covers cold tables filled with fresh fish. Two large cauldrons hold live fish ready for the catching. Competing with the smell of fish is a large table filled with bread beneath an orange awning. In the upper left corner of the square is a red and white striped tent whose round table displays a huge quantity of potions in bottles of assorted shapes and sizes. All rest upon patterned cobblestone and torches dot the square to provide additional light.

RPG map showing a large multi-goods shop with three rooms and a garden. The walkway to the shop is lined with assorted large items: carts, a large pipe, a sled, a tent-covered sofa, planters, and benches. Inside the shop there is barely enough room to walk through display cases, desks, tables, crates, and shelves, each covered with random objects, including potions, wands, books, jars, vases, hats, flowers, tools, weapons, herbs, cloth, and more. There seems to be little organization and there are surprises around every turn, including a marble bathtub filled with barrels, a wooden display case with assorted lanterns, and even the single oar from a boat hanging from one wall. The garden contains a similar variety of objects, from a fully stocked tent and a black marble sphinx to a massive upright stone hand and a large wooden doghouse. A path leads from the shop interior through the garden to an outer gate in the stone fence. The shop sits on a red brick city street.

RPG city map of an ice shop, for all of your cooling needs. Frosty pillar lights beckon you inside the shop and once in, you see an icy blue marble floor with crates stacked on either side, filled with blocks of ice ready for purchase, and staying cool on mounds of snow. A snow goblin smiles at you from one corner while a tray of frosty fruit and ice cold wine are on display in the other corner. Crates of snow line one wall and an ice sculpture of a local goddess (or noble) stands atop a block of ice. The sales counter is also a natural block of ice and it holds a sales journal, a couple of icy lights, and a mound of snow chilling a couple of glasses of the local vintage. Also stacked on the counter are a few snowballs with which to pelt local children, who are free to retaliate with snowballs near the goblin. A large chest behind the counter holds the cash box and the shopkeeper's possessions. Double doors lead to a back room where two magical portals sit as gateways to a mountaintop (or icy realm) where the cold goods are harvested. Huge blocks of ice are stacked on one wall with smaller blocks waiting to be stacked on crates for delivery. A mass of snow lines the back wall and the floor is slick with ice. Compacted blocks of snow rest on the other wall, ready to be packaged and sent off to the next gala event and turned into ballroom snow flurries, syrup-laden treats, or simply to chill beverages.
