I'm using Safari as my browser but still don't see anything when I scroll all the way down.

There's nothing below this text:

Long awaited sets of counters for V&V - for Death Duel with the Destroyers and Island of Doctor Apocalypse, Illustrated by Pat Zircher - available NOW as
FREE PDF downloads.

Odd... I tried again and its coming up for me. Granted, its placed kinda funny so if you weren't actively looking for it you'd almost fail to see it. the text Diamante's should be right below the E-Z Cash Pawn Shop graphic. Right below that should be the graphic for Diamante's... its purple with a wine and cheese image on the front.

I'll check Firefox to see how its responding.

Also, it should be just above the text you mentioned.

Well I can say that my players will be seeing Diamante's make an appearance, or two. I think it would be the perfect setting for some of Empire City's organized crime figures to hang out in. Thanks for knocking out the hard part for me.  Wink

No kidding; I will most certainly be making this a regular part of our campaign.  I love it, and it reminds me a bit of Petrocelli's (IIRC the name from the Top Secret RPG's introductory adventure, Sprechenhaltestelle).  It too had an underground section where nefarious spies and other ne'er-do-wells could cavort and scheme.    Wink

I'm reading through it right now, and I just wanted to point out to Dave how cool the feature I just noticed was (and to tell the rest of you about it, if you haven't seen it yet).  Most maps force you to continually refer back (usually a number of pages)to the map proper.  But in the lower right corner of pages 7 and 8, Dave put in a smaller section of the map (with the letter descriptions from that page), which makes it much easier to reference.

Well done; a fantastic addition that will make it far easier for GMs to use!

Thanks for the compliments on this one! I was actually a little worried how it would turn out in the end because this was a first of a concept plus it was so diverse... its a restaurant, and a casino, and a secret hideout. It was kind of a make or break venture in a way... and I'm glad that it worked in the end. I've always felt that there was a worthy place for adventure locations and bonus thngs (in this one the trap rules) without the build up of an adventure because as a GM in the past I've had ideas for a plot, characters of my own, but hated having to detail the locations and so forth just to set the rest of the story in motion... hence my concept for building playsets.

Majestic- That was actually Scott's suggestion but I've done the same thing before when I made system generic fantasy villages in the past, so I knew exactly what he wanted when he suggested it. You're right, it does help (especially with something as large in size as the basement of Diamante's).

If you folks are interest I may start making more playsets down the road in addition to the normal common action locale choices.... there's still a need to cover a lot of typical places for "The City" (or Empire City, or whatever you call your city), but there's also the need for a drop in out of the ordinary area.
