Battlemap - Etelka's Tower (Patreon)

Over the festive break, I spent a fair bit of time trawling through old hard drives, looking for missing files when I transferred from my old work PC to my new one.

And I found some. In fact, I found a lot!

Amongst the swathes of old files were a bunch of ancient WFRP2 maps that I thought were gone forever, including maps for books like Lure of the Liche Lord, The Thousand Thrones, and the Tome of Salvation.

More importantly, I found the map for 'Etelka's Tower', the one we used all the way back in Episode 11: The Fallen Hold. I promised I'd post this one an age ago, but I couldn't as it had gone missing.

For reasons not even the most obscure gods could pin down, the file had been saved into one of my external backup drives but not on any internal hard drives. So, when I looked for it in my old PC, it simply wasn't there.

I'm still bemused by this. But for those of you who remember the Episode 11 era, you'll recall I was very ill at the time. So, let's blame that. It's as good an excuse as any.

More importantly, I can now post the maps here! So, let's do that.

I'm posting two copies of the map. Both show our version of the map found in Death on the Reik 4E, page 48. Both are also attached to this post as jpegs if you want to download a high-resolution version.

They are presented exactly as we used them, so look identical to the one presented during the show.

Ie, like this:

The first file is the player map of Etelka's Tower without details, which I used to show the PCs the plans provided to them by the dwarfs and to act as the blank map ready for them to explore.

It looks like this:

The second file is the GM version with all the lived-in details, which I gradually unveiled to the PCs as they explored the location.

It looks like this:

During the show, the second map was added as cut-out sections on top of the first map, which looked like this when it was fully explored:

Finally, as a wee bonus, for those who wish to print exactly what I printed for the show, here are the A0 versions of the map file that I took to the copy shop (again, both are attached to this post as downloadable files if you're looking to have the high-res version).

Player:

GM:

I am so happy to finally have a copy of that for you all!

Beyond the above, I'll also post some All-Access variants of these maps. If you have any requests for what you'd like them to include, tell me before I post the All-Access extras later and I'll see what I can do.

Until then!
