GM's Maps #47: Ski Lodge

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Map making can be time-consuming and sometimes frustrating for GMs, especially GMs with limited time to begin with. In our new 'GM's Maps' range, we will be providing a range of pre-made maps for you to use in your games.

Ski lodges are a type of hotel or large chalet used by parties of skiers as a base of operations – a place to eat, sleep and rest between hurtling down a snow-covered mountain with two planks strapped to their feet. In more recent years, of course, skiing resorts and lodges have also seen a rise in snowboarders and people practising other, related, snow sports.

Using A Ski Lodge in Your Scenarios and Campaigns

As with most of our GM's maps range, the ski lodge is ideal for horror or mystery scenarios. Not only could I be haunted or the scene of a murder, theft or other mystery but the location and nature of a ski lodge means it can be easily isolated. A sense of isolation can lend tension to a scenario, especially useful in horror games or murder mysteries where the killer may strike again.

As mentioned in the previous section, ski lodges in the US tend to standalone while those in Europe tend to located in small towns or ski resorts. Even in the latter case, it is not difficult to isolate the town. A snowstorm can cut the town off from outside help.

In a post-apocalyptic setting, the isolation may actually be quite desirable. What better place to hide out from raiders or zombie hordes than a resort in the middle of nowhere?

Perhaps the party are trying to get to someone in the ski lodge, a guest who they are trying to kidnap, assassinate or rob or perhaps they are there to stop just such a thing from happening.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
