Re: Floorplans

A way around the copyright stuff is to take the money you will use to
purchase the book and put it toward the purchase of a house plan/design
software package.  These range in price from US$30 to US$100.  Most have
example plans, which you could use to get started on your own.  Also, with a
little work these programs could be used for the layout of just about
anything, you can also put furniture and other items in the layout.  Most
offer some type of 3D rendering, this way you can show your players what a
room looks like from the door, window, skylight, trapdoor, etc.
    This process takes a little more work on your part, but once you get the
hang of using the software, it's quite easy.

put an end to some of the smuggeling of arms to the rebels. A important
asset in this arms smuggeling is a ship called "African Queen". Nobody knows
 who acctualy owns this ship, or even what ship it is. This is the ship
the(government official from Sierra Lione?)would like to stop from
"continued service". The only problem, exept that nobody knows where the
ship is locates, is that the operatives have to find a named person who
might have some important information regarding the ship.
