I really want to love this. It should be perfect for my needs, as a lot of other maps from this company should be, but the buttons that lets me turn features on and of (grid, legend, furniture, etc) work only partially if at all. This is using multiple applications on a few different computers including the latest pdf reader from Abobe. This unfortunately means I need to keep looking for other map options and I'm unlikely to invest in more of these.

These issues aside, it would be a great value for those able to make use of the map!

The PDF should work. So be sure to enable javascript in Acrobat Reader. (preferences > Javascript > Enable Acrobat JavaScript Also, you may have to add a trusted location for your blueprints file to make it work properly. To add trusted location go to Adobe Acrobat Preferences > Security (Enhanced) > In Privileged locations click "add file" and pick your Blueprint. Hope this helps

I am normally a huge fan of 0one products, but I was very disappointed in this one, which appears to have been done quickly and without a lot of thought. The plans lack a number of things one would expect to see in a house of that area, including (arguably) a bathroom, privies and most especially quarters for the servants! There are also some anomalies in the house, including an extra room on both the first and second floor, each of which have a door and a window but no furnishings and no apparent function. On a production level the Legend pages for those floors, which might have explained the purpose of those rooms, are not included in the product.

Altogether, this is NOT Oone's best piece of work by a long shot.

Here is a magnificent Victorian-style house, standing in its own grounds, and presented in exquisite detail. It's up to you whether it is as creepy as the Addams Family home or warm and welcoming...

In this product, 0one Games have taken their customary mastery of PDF technology and used it to present a mapset that is easy to customise to your needs. Working at individual page level or via the 'Rule the Dungeon' feature to customise the entire mapset at one go, there are a lot of things that you can change. There is a choice of hex grid, square grid, metric grid or none at all. You can decide which way is North, and whether or not you want it to be shown. You can have furnished or bare rooms... and of course you can decide whether you want 'blueprints' (white lines on a blue background like a classic technical drawing) or black lines on white.

The house itself is three stories high, and has a driveway leading up to it as well as a quite extensive garden. As well as a view of each level, including extensive cellars and the rooftop, there is a plan view that shows the house in its grounds including an outbuilding (probably, in the terminology of the day, a 'motor-house') and a 'front view' (or 'elevation' in architect's parlance). There are also several pages you can use to make notes about the various locations within the house and grounds. US players will note the European nomenclature: we have a ground floor, first floor and second floor. It's not difficult to see what is what, though.

Overall, it's a delightful house and I'd be happy to live there... until, that is, you populate it with ghosts and other unspeakable things appropriate to a horror game!
