Facing The Facts

Hi everyone,I want to share an important update and let you in on some realizations I’ve had recently.As you might have read from my previous updates, my family recently went through a challenging time while my daughter was hospitalized. Thanks to modern medicine, she’s feeling better now, but this was a wake-up call for me. I took a close look at my well-being and the pace I’d been keeping ...

Genesis Lab (22x16)

Hi everyone, This is a laboratory map for simple fight scenes or extraction missions. The map features a biohazard laboratory or a section of one, with equipment for cloning or creating gene-spliced organisms. Perhaps even for studying extra-terrestrial organisms. For more action or horror-oriented games, I included a version with a broken tank and some blood stains around the lab. Have fun! :DTha...

Junker Bunker (44x32)

Hi everyone,This was supposed to be a small abandoned bunker, but as I was rifling through the references, I got more inspired by the idea that there could be a group of nomads or some sort of badland raiders squatting in this abandoned bunker. This facility houses around 17 persons and has a water purification plant, an air filtering system, and a small reactor core for maximum self-sustainabilit...

Destroyer Command Bridge (24x33)

Hi everyone, What could be a more identifiable feature of a huge starship than the sunken computer pits next to the huge windows with the blackness of space or a fierce orbital battle surrounding the ship? This battlemap takes inspiration from the Imperial Star Destroyers in Star Wars, but I decided to add some crew stations on the platform next to the window. I also made a few different versions ...

Rocky Wasteland Backgrounds (44x32)

Hi everyone,A while ago someone mentioned that the Abandoned Outpostdid not have a variant with just the background. So, I decided to make a quick rocky wasteland background based on that.I hope you find this useful, and thank you for your support!Thanks!// MiskaVariants: This map has X variants with gridded and gridless versions.MoonDesertMarsResolution: 140 pixels per square (140 dpi)Grid dimens...

Mining Colony Spaceport [32x44]

Hi everyone,Recently, I went to see the new Alien movie, Alien: Romulus, at the movie theater. The movie had some scenes taking place in a Weyland-Yutani colony, and I thought that was a very atmospheric location. So, I wanted to make a map of a small settlement based on that colony.This map features a small settlement built around a mining operation and a series of quarries. The large building at...

Temple of Ascension [24x33]

Hi everyone,This map features a sacrificial temple inspired by movies Prometheusand Alien vs. Predator. When making this map I was thinking of underground ruins with maze-like tunnels and half-collapsed chambers that lead to this large hall with giant stone heads and walls covered in strange murals.When the PCs enter to this room to explore it they might trigger a mechanism that raises half a doze...

Captain's Log: Quick SitRep

Hi everyone, Just a quick update on the situation behind the scenes. My daughter has been in the intensive care unit at the hospital since last Saturday. I've had to take an unplanned leave from work because of this. This will inevitably affect this month's plans, but at the moment I'm unsure how. The situation is currently stable, but the doctor advised us parents not to make any plan...

Map Type Poll

Hi everyone,I'm interested in knowing what sort of maps you prefer to use in your games. Do you use mainly smaller battle maps or deckplans, or do you use larger adventure maps, for example? I have listed some of the most common map types below with short explanations. Vote for the map types you would find useful. I'll check the results at the end of the month and next month's maps wil...

Eclipse Phase Collaboration - Mind the WMD [Resleeved]

Hi everyone,Earlier this week, I released three maps, and I mentioned in their description that they were published in collaboration with Posthuman Studios.Eclipse Phaseis a hard science-fiction & space horror TTRPG set in our star system (mostly) after the destruction of Earth. What is left of humanity is scattered around the solar system, and most humans have their consciousness uploaded into a ...

Assault Shuttle [22x32]

Hi everyone, This assault shuttle deckplan (or boarding shuttle?) is inspired by the boarding torpedoes and assault boats of the Warhammer 40K universe. I started by drawing the outer hull and then designed the interior to fit that. Finally, to show the vessel in action, I added the partial ship with its outer hull punctured by the assault shuttle's boarding lasers. I know this boarding scenar...

Quick Update and Streaming Platform Poll

Hello crew,I wanted to drop a quick update and ask for your preferences for TTRPG streams & videos.Quick UpdateAugust has been a bit of a hassle, as I've had some doctor's appointments—just some long overdue blood work and tweaks on ADHD medication, so, nothing to be worried about :) Also, kids started school after the summer vacation, so there's been more family-related meta-work th...

Zone Excavation [44x33]

Hi everyone,Occasionally, bases and settlements have to be abandoned for various reasons. Sometimes, the departure has been so urgent that valuable supplies, technology or raw materials may have been left behind. Often these sites have been quickly looted by scavengers, but if you know where to look, there may still be treasures hidden in them. Or below them. This map shows a deserted base in the ...

"Annora Arabella" - Atlas-Class Freighter [80x60]

Hi everyone,Occasionally, someone wishes for maps of spacecraft where gravity is achieved by acceleration instead of some kind of artificial gravity. A few of these vertical deckplans are already in the archive, but I admit there could be more. Here is a deckplan of Annora Arabella, a medium transport vessel with a cargo hold that has a cargo system that automatically stores and sorts cargo using ...

Abandoned Outpost [44x32]

Hi everyone,This map features an abandoned and ruined dome colony on Mars or a similar desolate rust-colored planet. The dome that once protected the colony is now in shambles, its walls lying in broken piles of concrete and rubble.This map was created in collaboration with Posthuman Studiosas part of the updated Mind the WMD Eclipse Phasescenario.Thank you for your support, and let me know if you...

Captain's Starlog 2024.08.02 - News & Updates

Hi everyone,It's been a while since my last Captain's Starlog and I know this is a pretty long post, but this post includes some very important changes to how this Patreon will continue to operate.It's been a bit slow lately with the new releases and I apologize for this. Let's address this first and go to other news and updates after this.Drifting in Fog [THE STORY]In March, I mad...

Resleeving Lab [24x33]

Hi everyone,In some sci-fi settings, transferring your personality into a new body is possible. This can be a cloned body or a synthetic chassis. Universally, they are usually called "sleeves". This map could be a laboratory for growing new cloned bodies or other bio-sleeves. The personality backup can be uploaded into one of the bodies in the pods. Of course, this map could be something ...

[Cyberpunk Maps] Corpo Park (44x32)

Whether you're out for a walk in the fresh air or negotiating a sensitive gig with a company suit, this map can come in handy.There are two versions of the map: one with a fountain and the other with an elegant, and presumably ridiculously expensive, sculpture.I hope the map will come in handy!Thank you for your support!- MiskaA fountain or sculpture in the middle of a beautiful and idyllic pa...

[Cyberpunk Maps] Harbor Warehouse (33x24)

Hi everyone,Here's a small warehouse map. This is supposed to be a harbor warehouse, but we decided to crop the exterior to something more generic so this can be used in any scenario where a small warehouse is needed.Have fun with this :)- MiskaPS. This map is exceptionally available also for Forgemaster tier patrons as a sample of Cyberpunk Maps content.Small warehouse with loading bridge, st...

River Wreckage (33x24)

Hi everyone,More shipwrecks! This ship has no interior space, but we made a battlemap out of it, which can serve as a sort of stream or swamp crossing. Of course, nothing is that simple and obviously there's some sort of slimy tentacle creature lurking in the water.Let me know in the comments if you'd be interested in seeing more simple encounter maps like this in the future.I hope this ma...

Jungle Planet Wreck (33x24)

Hi everyone,The jungles of alien planets and moons are certainly full of all kinds of spaceship wrecks, and here is one of them. The layout of this ship is modeled after the ship found in the first part of Starfinder's Against the Aeon Throne AP, but I think it would fit in almost any space opera game.Have fun playing around with this wreck!And thanks for your support!A decades-old spaceship w...

Heron-Class Stealth Cruiser [30x50]

Hi everyone,For a while now, I've been thinking about making a deckplan for some kind of stealth ship, but for one reason or another, this has always wanted to drag on. Well, now it's finally here :)One source of inspiration for this one was the Anubis-class stealth ships of The Expanse, and another was my friend's actual play series set in the Mass Effect universe (unfortunately only ...

Arboreal Outpost K-99 [44x32]

Hi everyone,Here's a map that is basically a remastered version of one of my very first maps (map #23 to be precise).Someone requested a map of an outpost or habitat built on the branches of a giant tree - like the ones on Kashyyyk in Star Wars. That reminded me of the old map and we decided to make a new version of it.In general, I've been thinking if we should do more "remastered&#34...

Space Mine Refinery [44x32]

Hi everyone,The space mining theme continues with one more map! At least. And do let me know in the comments if you want to see more of these or explore what creepiness lurks deep in the tunnels.Before moving on to the alien-infested parts of the mine, we decided to add this little refinery or processing unit to the series.Thanks for your support and following!- MiskaBefore the minerals and ores a...

Space Mine Mothernode (44x32)

Hi everyone,Finally, we have reached the source of the infestation. There is an artificial round chamber deep underground. It must be intentional, but what is its purpose? Is it made to preserve or imprison something? Either way, whatever it is, it is hungry, intelligent, and lethal. And it is evolving. Fast.I have a feeling that this is not the end of this. We might have to delve deeper into the ...

Space Mine Tunnels (44x32)

Hi everyone,Here's another space mine map. This one can be used as a transitional map and maybe offer some leads of what to expect.Enjoy!- MiskaThe mining tunnels are a maze of paths cut into the crust of the asteroid, moon, or planetoid. They lead into the darkness, with strong artificial lights shining from time to time. The walls are rough and broken from digging, and you can feel the rumbl...
