From the archives: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Town

 I've found the lost WFRP town maps! Turns out I had uploaded them to Google Drive at some point, and deleted them from my hard drive. 

These were created during lockdown in 2020 for a Warhammer role-play campaign I played with my Warhammer mates - one of whom was only going to play RPGs if it was Warhammer related. They were designed to represent Empire towns (Middenheim, Krakenburg and Schmurtziggerheim if I recall correctly) but can be used for any RPG. There are a few empire-ish bits like German text and a giant Middenheim wolf-head crest, but those won't look out of place elsewhere.

This set consists of two sub-sets - one set is for outdoor stuff and uses large areas of cobblestone and paving stones to represent streets and pavements. These are modular and can be arranged to make up any shape of street. The other set contains the interiors of the buildings. These can be placed on top of the street and pavement modules to create the town. A few of the buildings are multi-piece.

Let's start with the blacksmith's forge. One whole corner of this building is open to the street, the top floor held up by stout pillars. I never did make top floors for these buildings.

Next up is this bookshop.  Looks like I forgot to do the crosshatching on the inside wall...

Here's the butcher's shop. Drawing all the details of the back room with the meat being carved was quite interesting.

This general store is the most 'WFRP' piece of the set I this post - what with he welcome mat being in German. Of course, if you ARE in Germany, this won't be a problem, but the massive spoilers contained in WFRP published modules if you CAN speak German will ruin the game. (I know people who studied German at school and therefore know what all the names in those old WFRP adventures mean - all of which contain either massive spoilers or helpful advice about not trusting that character!)

Here's the basic street module - a large area of cobblestones. Since I knew this would be run in Roll20, I didn't bother too much about indicating the squares.

To go with he cobbles is this large area of paving stones. This is used to make footpaths or town squares.

There are two curb stone modules used to indicate gutters along the side of the streets and connect the cobble streets to the paving stone foot paths.

To avoid monotony, I made two.

I also made two corner caps to take them round corners - I didn't think to make one which allows the gutters to meet at the opposite angle...

Well, that's all for this instalment - next time we'll be wrapping up our tour of the archive by sharing the rest of the town!
