Argana’s Flat

Cross section view of a top floor flat

I’ve always loved floorplans. It’s an affection that started when I was a kid, running table RPGs for my friends and family. Having a dungeon map behind my GM’s screen, forcing the players to painstakingly replicate it in their own notes. All that squared paper. All those conveniently right-angular tombs. It wasn’t so much that Osthack the Destroyer wanted to rule the world, as they just really wanted to own all the setsquares.

And of course there’s castles, because every time you visit one, there’s a poster somewhere with a reconstructed floorplan on it, the hypothetical sections rendered in dashed lines. You can gaze out into the air above the ruins, and imagine the towers that once, er, towered there.

Anyways, I’ve spent years now writing about Argana’s flat, on the top floor of a Victorian end-terrace. The more I re-read the older stories, the more I wanted to see it laid out. So, here you go, that’s what I sketched up!
