In my previous map "The Construction Site", the mysterious pyramid structure that was uncovered hinted to something lurking beneath the dig site. This month, I present to you yet another theme continuation with "The Secret Facility".

The pyramid structure is the entrance to The Secret Facility, a sci-fi/cyberpunk battle map depicting an Area-51 style secret facility where dangerous scientific experiments take place deep underground. The Matrix and the Akira anime inspired my design choices featured in this map, especially the pipe/tube structures seen in the background.

Some of my patrons suggested a map variant with a Stargate style wormhole device. I thought it would be awesome to have the Secret Facility function as a wormhole tech development complex. I obliged and named the variant "Stein's Gate" - and yes, I borrowed the name from the famous anime series. It was quite fitting since Einstein and Rosen both theorized that space-time bridges could exist based on the theory of relativity.

This RPG battle map has many, many possibilities in terms of narratives and encounter scenarios. I made sure to keep the design style general enough to allow for GM improvisation with this regard.

Adventure Music Collaboration

"JD" from Adventure Music was the first RPG creator-community friend I made when I first started Frag Maps, 11 months back. He provided me with plenty of guidance pertaining to Patreon and also introduced me to the RPG map/asset creators guild. We both decided it was high-time we did a collaboration together.

Adventure Music wrote and recorded the track "Something Below" especially for The Secret Facility. I love the track as it really sets the perfect mood for this map. I'm sure you'll agree once you've heard it. All of you will receive a version of the .mp3. More details below.

Check out Adventure Music's Patreon for more RPG music. They offer a ton of free content as well.
