We claim salvage rights! The laws of space may not be as clear-cut and draconian as, say, maritime law, but there are a few constants. Among them, the right to lay claim to abandoned or destroyed vessels and structures floating out in the black when nobody else has clear jurisdiction. That last part, of course, allows for a bit of wiggle room for savvy crews of enterprising scavengers. Fully animated (spinning!) and available in three additional variants, with a more destroyed ship, cargo spilling out of the wreck's hold, and hard, gold-pressed currency floating out for the taking, this map will have your players forgetting how the man took their love, took their land, took them where they cannot stand!

My maps are hooked up to work with Foundry VTT and Fantasy Grounds.

Hello everyone!

Back at it with another map, this one from yesterdays session in my soon-to-be-completed Scifi campaign.

An orphanage in the slums, but perhaps it also works as an inn or slum-hotel? Use it as you see fit!

I've been experimenting making space map backgrounds and planets. This map was made with Dungeondraft and features a handcrafted nebula texture and planets. The space station, space ship, asteroids, and wormhole are by Feed the Multiverse.

4K version is available to my supporters.

MAP FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY

Enjoy!

This is the AI Ship Brain for a massive ship that my friend is writing an adventure for. This is what I have to start with: the brain in the middle, cooling tanks in the back, batteries in the upper right, the server room on the left, and the monitoring room at the bottom. I am stuck on how to flesh it out more. Any suggestions are very welcome.

Technological ruins? On your unexplored planet? It's more likely than you think! Space archaeology plays an important role in discovering the rise and fall of long-dead civilizations, though this massive technological ruin is a far cry from the pottery shards and ancient statuettes one might usually find! Overgrown and dormant, there's of course no way that this mysterious machine could be a threat to anyone anymore. Right? Available in two additional variants, one featuring the machine in its original environment, and another after its abandonment but before nature took over, this map and its variants are a perfect way for your party to worry not about where they are, but rather when they are!

That's no moon! There's only really two ways any large galactic civilization can go: an optimistic band of peaceful post-scarcity space explorers, or an evil, tyrannical empire. You probably have some idea of which one this map fits best, but it is your world after all! With a wide viewscreen from which to gaze out upon the destruction wrought by one's fleet, a crew pit so that none of the peons get any ideas above their station, and plenty of room for climactic showdowns against would-be do-gooders, this fully animated map is fully operational, and available in two additional versions, one with more stations on the bridge, and the other in blue and grey shades. You may fire when ready.

An ordinary city wharf along the waterfront.  A good spot for runners to boost a fast boat for their next gig.  Or move some illicit cargo onshore.  “Borrow” a maintenance sub to recover a lost drop.  Stop the crime boss from escaping out to sea.

I love the sound of the engine core in the morning! Whether it's a low thrum, or more of a deep throb, every engineer worth their salt is going to have their favourite, even as they work around the clock to make sure the ejectors remain online, install the self-sealing stem bolts, and swap out those ever-fickle isolinear chips. Fully animated and available in two additional variants, with a containment breach in one and a full failure in the other (red alert!), this map will have your players wishing they'd reversed the polarity!

The Pitch: 
Full transparency right out of the airlock: I am an indie writer operating on a very tight budget, so this is strictly an unpaid/hobby request. 

I am writing a hard sci-fi space opera (in the vein of "The Expanse" or "Mass Effect") and I'm looking for a fellow sci-fi architecture nerd to help me draft the official blueprints for my protagonist's ship: The Tempest. 

I am not asking you to design it from scratch! I have already done all the heavy lifting. I have a complete, mathematically sound master blueprint detailing the ship's 3 decks, the exact room placements and dimensions (from the bridge down to the dual-railguns and the Precursor core), and the unique "Wishbone" corridor geometry of the lower decks. 

I am looking for someone to tackle the architectural challenge and bring the floorplans to life. You can choose your preferred angle: 

• The Deck Plans: A top-down architectural layout of the 3 internal decks. 
• The Cross-Section: A classic side-view cutaway showing the verticality of the sloped "Central Spine Corridor" and the unpressurized railgun void in the ceiling. 

If you are a mapmaker, a TTRPG Game Master, or a 3D modeler who wants a rock-solid, logically sound spaceship layout to practice drafting on without having to invent the lore yourself, I would love to hand you my lore-bible and let you bring this beast to life. 

Let me know if you're interested in a fun, zero-pressure collaboration, and I'll send over the detailed specs! 

The Fine Print (Usage & Credit): 

Please sign your work! I have zero intention of making a single credit off your art. My goal is simply to build an internal visual "lore bible" to keep my writing consistent. If I ever share your piece in a forum or hand it to another artist as a reference (e.g., "Make the hull look exactly like this!"), I want to make sure your signature is right there on the canvas so you get 100% of the credit. 
If you’re comfortable, please drop your portfolio link or contact info right under your signature. If this space opera ever gets officially published down the line and I have a real budget, I want a way to find you and hire you properly. Plus, it gives anyone else who sees and loves your design a direct way to commission you! 

 
A Note on Mutual Respect (The IP Pact):  

I am trusting you with the classified lore, character dossiers, and blueprints of my original universe, The Tempest Protocol. I only ask that you respect my IP the same way I respect your art. You are absolutely encouraged to post the artwork you create anywhere on your socials or in your portfolio! All I ask is that you please do not copy, distribute, or claim the written lore and character backgrounds as your own original IP. You own the brushstrokes, I own the blueprints. Deal?
