I started a huge map a couple of years ago. Long story short: my cousin needed a map and I wanted a project to teach myself how to use Campaign Cartographer 3+.

The project is huge, and I totally underestimated the scope. But then my cousin's players wandered away from the city of Greengulf, so the pressure is no longer there.

This area of the city was one of the first images I shared with my cousin. I'm freeing up some space on my email account, but I thought I'd share this here instead of just deleting those old emails (don't panic, I do have a way to generate this image again in the future... or any part of the city if needed).

In the post where we're listing all the Sci-Fi games we could come up with, there's a distinct lack of PBTA games. And I get it... there's probably too many to list.

But even if I have my Sci-Fi needs fulfilled (perhaps for the moment, and for the most part) there are a few games that I'd still like to play some day. This is one of them.

Why? Because it's straight and to the point. I tell myself that one of these days, when I think of a plot for a Star ~~Wars~~ Worlds one-shot adventure, I can grab this and get rolling in 5 minutes.

A lot of people dislike PBTA, but I actually find it valuable. I think PBTA is particularly good at short adventures and one-shots. For longer campaigns? Not so sure. One of my favourite (non-scifi) games, Kult (!kult@ttrpg.network), uses PBTA in its newest version. They did try to think ahead to advancement for longer campaigns, but would it be enough for a regular multi-year group? I don't know.

Just from this small post, there's so much I'd like to ask anyone reading: Do you have a PBTA game you love and/or play? Have you tried this one? Do you know another overlooked Star Wars game (such as Never Tell Me the Odds)? Do you love/hate PBTA? Have you used PBTA for long campaigns?

This is the completion of what I had in mind for the "tactical map". I must say, I didn't come up with the concept, nor the color palette. I got that from an image I downloaded from somewhere... But I don't remember where. Maybe the Traveller Discord?

Anyway, the main image is very much tied to the M2E version of Traveller, but back when I made this image I hadn't fully commited to one ruleset (I'm both a heavy houseruler and heavy improviser).

So here's one for Cepheus Engine:

And here's one for Cepheus Deluxe:

The Range tracker doesn't make sense for CD rules, but it looks cool and I didn't know what else to put there. :)

The sun sinks below the horizon. Crooked shadows cast by the buildings fall on the streets like a funeral shroud, and reality melts where it is too dark for us to notice the silhouettes of creatures and other worlds.

Kultists, get ready to roam the streets of Metropolis and marvel at the terrors lurking the areas of our world where the veil is thin.‎ We aim to launch the Kickstarter campaign for the new sourcebooks and scenario collections on February 3rd.

While learning Traveller I came across this video where he explains how to use a ruler to keep track of distances relative to other ships.

I liked the idea, but found a 20-inch ruler, just up to long range, a bit impractical. So I created this tracker.

I used black background and neon colors because I thought I would be playing with a VTT, but in the end I've only played in person. So I also have this PDF, in Ledger/Tabloid (11" x 17"). I don't think you'll find a printer that's able to print up to the very edge, so I'll let you decide if you'd rather scale it below 1" per square or just accept cropped stuff on the edges.

This was just a test I made while trying to get the hang of the Cosmorgapher3 addon for CC3+.

Basically I just took Seth Skorokowsky's map (linked in the comments of his Flatlined review) and tried to retrace it.
