Title: Floorplan Layouts
Post by: Talgrath on <02-21-16/1735:19>
I'm just starting to GM a Shadowrun trial campaign of sorts, and for one of the first runs I want the players to have the option to do a bit of prep work including hacking or smooth talking to get a floorplan for their target.  My players tend to be fairly visually oriented coming from board game/video game backgrounds, long descriptions usually result in a lot of questions so I typically try to use visual aids.  I was wondering if someone knew of some good tools to make a fairly quick and dirty "floorplan" resembling something similar to this: (http://www.tpstry.com/images/exceptional-commercial-floor-plans-10-commercial-office-building-floor-plans-1056-x-798.jpg)

That way I can move a token around representing the party's location as if it's on their AR feeds (I use a hex/grid map for the fights if/when things get violent).

It's not a tool, but you can find some basic maps fairly cheap here:

Can't see the pictures, but that tool might be something like what I'm looking for, I'll take a look, thank you.

Do these do anything for you? Mostly corridors and outdoor space, but they make sense for certain types of buildings (or anything from 4th Edition's Emergence).
