Thieves Guild Hideout [28x34]
Hey everyone. Here's the Thieves Guild Hideout that you voted for!
We decided to continue the city style we started with on the City Market Place and the City Rooftop Chase that way you can add this into any of the same campaigns you're running.
Cze was reading The City in Mind recently and came across this passage:
"Neither sunlight nor fresh air could penetrate the miserable dwellings. [...] The interior courtyards of the old hotels increasingly filled up with artisans' workshops, shops and shanties."
And that became the genesis for this map. We decided the thieves would be hiding in plain sight, having surreptiously converted the inner courtyard of these shops into a secret hideaway. We've created secret tunnels and entrances in each shop that you can use to access the guild.
You can play it either as if the shopkeepers are in the guild as fronts or if they're just unsuspecting citizens.
Below is a little mock up for you showing some of the secret passageways. ;)

We made a TON of variations for this one. 22 altogether! Including a Christmas special.

amazing stuff omg your works are the household standard of battlemaps
Would be awesome to have a better graphic to know how to place the secret doors! Unfortunately the one included above is so small that I cannot read it at all, being visually-impaired.
This is easily my most used map from you dudes. My groups have been in those jail cells (four/five times) and have yet to find the exit. A good number of those shop accesses have been missed by my tables. AFATK, the only entrance is through the Butcher and one player figured out the Herbalist without telling the others. Great map. Other maps that vary on this theme are totally appreciated.
Please, please, please can you make the surrounding street map for this? I love this map, it leads to such great role-play. I have used it 3 times in campaigns I have run. I just wish it was part of a wider map set.
We designed the tile colours and the awnings to match those in City Marketplace and City Rooftop Chase, hopefully those give your players somewhere to go to next!
Hello! I love this map - is there a higher res version of the secret door mock-up image? I'd love to be able to read the little details.
Sorry, that's the only version of that image available. It was only meant to be a silly addition to the post, i don't think the details would offer you much.
Hello, I'm still having trouble opening part 1 for the $5 rewards.
same
Yeah the part one download for the $5 rewards seems to be broken
Hi Justin, I've fixed the link now.
Hey friends, the link to Part 1 of the $5 rewards appears to be broken. At least for me, it says the attachment was not found.
Hey Billy, the link is fixed now. Please try it again.
y'all killing it
Cheers Reely!
Wow! That mock up of all the businesses helps tell of the scope and all the detail in this map! I’m saving it and putting it with the folder of maps for reference! Maybe include it in the map zip files (I didn’t see it in the $5 tier maps)?
I didn't think it would be used widely enough to actually include in the zip but maybe i was wrong!
Damn guys. I complained why this won the vote, but now that I see it... WOW! I'm going to use this like crazy!
Glad we managed to exceed your expectations Chris! Hopefully we can make suggestion fun and novel.
It's huge!!!! Wow!!!
We've been getting carried away with big maps recently...
wow, this is incredible! the hideout itself is a fantastic concept, but it also includes multiple shop maps?! i am really excited to use this one, i know my players will love it!
Thanks Kate! There's a version without the guild at all in case you just want the shops! :)
If anyone has questions about this map specifically, me and Peku will be on the Discord for the next half hour answering any questions.
