World Without Updates

pilots_rev

Hey, WWS fans. I’m still alive. My game is still on hold. I think of this blog all the time, and the things I’d love to do with it. But I just haven’t had the time lately. I’d love to say that WWS will be back in full swing soon, but the truth is, I [...]

Zone Board for Starblazer Adventures

SbA Game Board

Inspired by this post on the Cubicle 7 forums, I whipped up some zone “boards” for Starblazer Adventures, for use in space combat / encounter scenarios. The idea is to cut them out, put them on foamcore or cardstock, and (re)arrange them on the tabletop as needed. You could then put some paper miniatures directly [...]

[Space Station] Welcome to Vacuum Hell

vacuum_title

Another quick-and-dirty Inkscape project. I’m pretty sure I stole the name Vacuum Hell from an old Shatterzone supplement. I don’t remember what the original station was like, but I love the name, so I’m nicking it! Vacuum Hell is an independently-owned space station near the edge of civilized space. Only Nova Station is more remote. [...]

First Full Map of the WWS Universe

WWS Full-Size Starmap

Hello again. Hope everyone had a great holiday. I had a few free hours this weekend and decided it was time to integrate my various star maps into one single map. Not an easy task, but a whole lot of fun. So here’s the entirely-too-large starmap of the WWS universe as currently conceived: I have [...]

Inkscape Tutorial #1: Basic Starmap

The painted harlot of starmaps.

Here it is, by popular demand (and by popular I mean Dr. Rotwang kept asking): an Inkscape tutorial! Today we’re going to start with some basics and make a simple-yet-awesome starmap in Inkscape, eventually working out way up to the more complicated stuff in later tutorials. By the time we’re through, I guarantee you’ll be [...]

Zone Map: Starport Shuttle Pad

Making big old zone maps for my games and then not using them is a habit I should probably try to change. But I’m passing the savings along to you! This was cut out and printed into 2×2 8.5×11 sheets. Where exactly the borders begin and end is a little fuzzy, but I was in [...]

[Weapons] Energy Pike

Energy Pike

After last week’s game, I decided that Starblazer Adventures needed some new melee weapons, so I threw some together. Enjoy.

Welcome to LUXORDOME!

Welcome to Luxordome!

I had to wait to unveil my latest Inkscape atrocity until my players went through the scenario, but now its glory can at last be revealed. This is a “zone map” for the Pleasure Domes of Lady Luxor Bright, where my play group spent their last session. Sadly, it was all business. I drew inspiration [...]

[Space Station] Welcome to Spire Prodigus

It’s been a while since I’ve done a really big cross-cut like Shanga Station, so I thought I’d do something a little ambitious. This is Spire Prodigus, the largest space station in the Bright Dominion and the Rimward Sector. I briefly considered trying to pack even more information onto one page, but I figured, why [...]

Zone Map: Small Medical Facility

So here’s a map I planned to use last game for a short heist scenario, but it went unused. Maybe someone out there can get some utility out of it.
