It's great to have these as a supplement to my physical copies, especially under the current circumstances.

The item that's a favourite of mine and the playgroups I've run through Ptolus is the Rosegate House. In particular, we like a certain feature of the layout. I'll leave it to those who read this review and get this product to figure out what it is.

Free. Hard to argue with that price tag, even if you don't play the game in question. Free is what led me to pick this up with the thought that maybe I would get some measure of use commensurate to the cost out of these maps. I was right, and then some.

The Ptolus Bonus Map Pack is basically a reprint of maps from other sources as stated on the product's cover page. The book contains two versions of each, one with areas labeled and some degree of notation, and a second with nearly all that removed. In some instances taking "Dining Room" off the map isn't going to matter when the map is clearly a home and that room is clearly meant for dining in, but the majority of notations are numerical call outs referencing some features list that was part of the original product the map came from. In either case these maps a beautiful, full color affairs with a clearly marked scale and compass. The "blank" versions could be of immediate use to any GM in need of a quick layout for anything from a home, to a city, to a series of sunken caverns. The prelabeled versions might be useful for a GM looking to detail the location on his own for a more pre-meditated use.

Rating: 100% - Regardless of you needs this is an outstanding "buy" for GMs. You can't beat the price of Free, but I have certainly seen lower quality or less useful items at the same price point and higher. If you need some cheap maps for a fantasy game this would be a good pick up.

These are nice maps. Computer generated maps with simple black walls with textured floors and color objects. Includes untagged maps for printout or good for klooge, maptool or battle grounds, however, they include the secret doors, which is a major design flaw. Secret doors should be skipped on an untagged map. The giant S kind of might be a clue to the players.

The whole Ptolus setting is a remarkable achievement and is priced appropriately as a PDF. If you are looking for an interesting setting to play in, this one is a good one. If you are looking for something easily adapted to your own world, this probably is not. This setting is unique and proprietary enough that any conversion is difficult.

I don't use the City, but these are very high quality maps, and free! If you use MapTool or similar software, don't pass these by-really good material.
