Map Making – March 16, 2023 at 06:10PM

Sharing a cool approach for creating maps of stations, colonies, and ships.
It was taking me too long to make the detailed, Free League style maps so now I’m making them based on the procedure from Hostile Solo RPG, which uses connected nodes and paths (a point crawl) plus several d6 tables for adding location details.

Here’s a work-in-progress map, made with Canva and based on one of my kitbashed models. I’m going to try this method with a colony map next. (sidenote: my Alien campaign includes a ton of homebrew content, including ship naming conventions)
