Building Floor plans

 

In addition to city and country maps, we make use of a number of house plans.  Always useful when planning a break in or displaying who is where during an attack on your dramatic character’s location. These links will give you a range of buildings which you could include in your campaign: There are many available from a quick search on-line, however, most of them are ground floor only. The ones below have all or at least most floors included in the plans.
