This is an excellent collection of modern maps. There are 29 different locations including an arctic research station, yacht, shopping mall, bank, and a fastfood restaurant. Each map is accompanied by adventure ideas, the occasional NPC, and Structural features. The great thing about this source book is that you can use it for any "modern" rpg. Whether it's G.U.R.P.S, Mutants and Masterminds, or D20.

When Polyhedron fused with Dungeon a while back there was a semi-regularlyfeature called Global Positioning that would feature some truly beautiful maps for your D20 Modern campaigns. Much of these maps have been reprinted in a single volume. Not having to carry a stack of Polyhedron issues for the maps alone is worth getting it. But there are some truly new maps in here adds to the value. Finally each map comes with some hooks and ideas on using it in a given campaign. If you run any sort of D20 Modern campaign you owe it to yourself to get this book.

I was pleased when this book arrived as it has vivid color and lots of maps. If you're a Game Master looking for modern or future maps this is perfect for you.

While the maps are all of modern day facilities, it's easily converted to a sci-fi or Apocalypse setting.

Each map contains numbers and a key for locations and are easily readable. They also contain ideas for possible storylines and information about the facility.

Some of the areas include bowling Alley, Arctic Station, Movie Theater, Bank and much more!

For the price Amazon is offering this, it's a must for any Game Master of D20 modern.
