First I have to say, I like this map. It's another great work of D20 Cartographer with a stunning readme (the cover ist great again), ready to print PDFs for A4 and US Letter, unsliced fullcolor and greyscale images of the full maps and all you need for VTT/Maptool. The Watchtower is a huge map of a multi-level castle with battlement and tower. There is a wide range of situations you can use this map for - the base of the big evil, the last defense or just the home castle of the heroes.

The base map is an eye-candy and I'd like to see my gamers to explore this place on our next adventure.

But I have some issues with this map. First it was really difficult to me to understand the multi-level layout and how to play it. The base is not just the base, it's the castle as a top view. If you go inside the castle you have to use the 1st floor but if you go the tower upstairs you have to look at the base map again because it is the top view. Maybe the handling would be easier if the maps would be one per level and you can place one upon the other. The interior is nice looking again, but I miss some highlights. Beside the base map it looks a little bit dreary. I also miss some rooms I'd like to see on a map like this. If this is the warlords watchtower, where is the warlords room? I like to have fullcolor unsliced images with grid for the maps and it's a great offer, D20 Cartographer is shipping this with all products. But the Watchtower has only one image for all levels. So I had to cut it by myself.

Again, I like this map. It's an interesting location with a wide range of possible variations for your adventures. The Warlord's Watchtower is a good map pack for only 1 Dollar, but with some little changes it could be an outstandig map pack.
