Free Map Friday - Sci-Fi Deck Plans No. 02

With Sci-fi month coming to an end, we send it on its way to orbit the sun once again and anxiously await its return next year. To celebrate its commencement I give you Sci-Fi Deck Plans No. 02!

I couldn't decide what view or version was best, so instead of 1 map I give you 6. Let me know what you think and which one is your favorite.

You can get them at here at my Patreon page.



Patrons will also be getting an exclusive sci-fi map this month, thanks to the inspiration of +David Scott. Every month Patrons pledging $2.50 or more have the opportunity to work with me on a personalized map project.











And for non-patrons here's some modular tiles for when your party needs to explore the interior of that forbidden planet or doomsday asteroid hurtling toward earth:

Free Map Friday: Space Madness!



I'm playing with some new ideas for the 2.5D Print & Paste Tiles that I gleaned from Wyloch's Crafting Vids and thought I'd try them out in virtual space first. I really like +Wyloch's Crafting Vids
approach to the 1.25 in grid and higher thinner walls. I think it makes for a cleaner presentation and can't wait to try it with 2.5D Print & Paste tiles.

You can grab this week's maps over here at my Patreon site.


And remember, "That's the history eraser button; DON'T TOUCH IT!"

Free Map Fri... er, Tuesday?

In celebration of Science-Fiction Month, this month's terrain/maps comes by way of request from Patron +David Scott; thanks David for the great inspiration!  First, a Cryo-pod Bay perfect for any Sci-Fi adventure, after all what fun is traveling through space if you can't do it as a popsicle? 

You can get it here.

Let me know how you use your Cry-Pod, post a pic and tag me in it!

Sci-fi month continues with no end in sight!

Work in Progress: Boarding craft for May Patreon
After a long weekend of many surprises, during which nothing went as planned, Monday is here and that means back to work. With so many exciting sci-fi projects in the works for this month from lending some photoshop help and giving away a hand bound REUP Rulebook to the Star Wars D6 community, to my Patreon patron requests for  +David Scott's Savage Worlds game and the layout for +Mark Hunt's White Star version of Drongo, I am inspired to complete Part 1 of my own pulp sci-fi series, Weird World Adventures.
Drongo: Planet in Peril for White Star
While I didn't have access to my laptop this weekend I did manage to do some work on the cover art. Weird World Adventures will be published as both Savage Worlds and White Star compatible versions and perhaps a DCC version as well. For those of you who have not met Dr. Mutans, here's another introduction and notes on the Axis beast-men known as the Glaber.

Dr. Mutans:
Dr. Mutans prepares his next patient.
Conducting bizarre experiments on on his "patients" Dr. Mutans searches for the answer to the riddle of creation itself. If he can learn how vampire bugs infect people and transform them into insects, then he believes he can control it and create a new race of super soldiers for his queen. He is determined that the answer to this mystery and more is hidden in the secrets of the Nightmare Mists of the Beyond and the lost civilizations of the Skrá Y'ar.

Glaber:
Glaber are large hairless burrowing creatures. Glaber are highly intelligent with a social structure that is similar to that found in ants, termites, and some bees and wasps. Only one female (the queen) reproduces, while the rest of the members of the colony function as workers. Although Glaber have eyes, they don't use them to see. Instead, they use heightened senses and a sort of RADAR to sense their surroundings allowing them see in complete darkness, even magical darkness, which also allows them to see invisible objects and creatures. Contrary to their size, Glaber have the uncanny ability to move in complete silence, surprising even alert creatures (50% of the time in lighted situations and 90% of the time in complete darkness.) Glaber have the ability to speak telepathically and chooses to do so exclusively. They can use this telepathic ability to "shout" into an opponent's mind causing psychic damage.

Free Map Friday - Duplex House, First Floor



Its been a couple of weeks since I was able to get a map out on Friday, but the wait is over.


Recently I've been inspired by +Joshua De Santo at Genius Loci games and his Swords & Wizardry Modern Supplement, Eldritch Shadows, and in the hopes of getting a modern horror, supernatural, supers game going at home with the family I've been working on some more modern styled maps and tile sets. A small duplex house certainly doesn't leave much open space for combat, but it certainly can lead to some interesting tactics.

What might be lurking in the basement or upper levels of this house? Stay tuned to find out. I'll be updating this set throughout the month and as usual Patreon patrons always get the hi-res files and PDFs first.
