Whilst I was doing my googling in another futile attempt to find the tunnel plans I came across some ancient plans for local churches. (Although to be fair my friends have helped out a lot and reached out and found me a source of the information I need. Which is fantastic.)
I thought these are pretty cool (see below). Then it struck me. An epiphany. A light bulb moment.
These plans would be a cool thing to keep copies of.
Why?
Well when at some point I may need to create a church for an encounter. I have an instant plan to use. Heck they don’t have to be used for that alone. They can be reskinned for other uses.
But it’s down to that saving on time and effort whilst preparing for a session.
They also act as a cool (well in my opinion) Easter egg for your campaign with your players.
I’m almost tempted to use a historical map of the town as a starting point for a town as well that the party will come across. Another cool Easter egg.
As you can see from the above it’s not hard to think of locations and buildings that are local to yourself to use as inspiration for your campaign. Maybe the players won’t pick up on the Easter egg at all. But for those that do, I think it’s a cool reward for them. That being in the know. Maybe even give them some sort of in game reward for noticing.
The above plan is for the main church in town St Peter’s Church. Which I’ve been to a handful of times for services over the years. But I’ve also been up the top of the bell tower when they opened it up to the public on a very rare occasion a few years back now. So I know that the plan doesn’t show a floor used by the bell ringers.
So I’m not sure if there is an accurate plan of the tower. But still it won’t take much to add that detail in.
