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 [...]

Top Six Starships of Ki-Ryn Studios

With the recent release of the Midnight Rose starship deck plans from Ki-Ryn Studios, I wanted to take a minute to give some love to Ki-Ryn’s products. If the following sounds like a giant plugola, it pretty much is, but it comes from a place of genuine enthusiasm: I adore Ryan Wolfe’s work. When I [...]

And the Sky Full of Stars: Ship Counters

Say there, paper miniature enthusiast. Have you ever thought to yourself, “gee, I wish I could get an embarrassing number of 2D ship counters on the cheap”? Well, your time is now. I picked up the Sky Full of Stars Counter Sheets (for Mongoose’s Babylon 5: Call to Arms game) last year during Paizo’s Black [...]

[Paper Miniatures] To Boldly Fold…

If you’re a sucker for paper minis (and if my visitor stats are any indication, you probably are), check out these amazing Star Trek paper miniatures, via A Billion Monkeys, via Stargazer’s World. I love the bold simplicity of these designs. If I had the slightest motivation to run a Star Trek game, I’d be [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
