Here is the first (and probably most generic) of my environments. It’s a real disreputable nest of criminality!
Gang Hideout
Every gang needs a headquarters, and this is certainly one of them. It is filled to the brim with unscrupulous criminals, along with their ill-gotten goods and surpluses of weaponry.
Beyond that, though, this environment can be used to represent the HQ of many different kinds of gangs — it could be a dilapidated hideout in the seedy part of town, a secluded safe-house in the woods outside town, a dockside base disguised as a warehouse, or the high-tech compound of a corrupt celebrity.
