Derelict spaceship map generator
Something went wrong on this ship, and your players are about to find out what. Roll a dead hull with rust through its decks, scrap in its corridors and red emergency lights flickering over all of it, then reveal it room by room at the table.

What it makes
A ship that has died
The same hull layout as a working starship, gone dead: patches of rusted plate, scrap strewn about, and dim red light that flickers.
Something to run from
Encounters are placed as tokens, in rooms and away from the way in, so the map is ready to play. Turn them off for an empty ship.
Fog for the table
Reveal it a room at a time from your own view while players watch theirs. They never receive what's still hidden, secret doors included.
Lights that matter
Walls and doors cast real shadows from each light. Export with them, or run it here and let the lights flicker.
What you can set
- Size
- 32 × 24 up to 96 × 72 squares, or a custom size
- Decks
- One to three generated; add more by hand
- Encounters
- Tokens placed in rooms, or none
- Style
- Brushwork, Gunmetal, 8-bit and more
- Exports
- PNG, and Universal VTT with walls, doors and lights
Questions
Is it free?
Yes, while we're in early access. You can make, edit and export maps with no account. Sign in when you want to keep them and link them together.
Which games does it work with?
It isn't tied to any rules. Game maps are 5 feet to a square, so they suit any tabletop RPG played on squares. There's no hex grid on game maps yet.
Can players see the map as I reveal it?
Yes. Add the map to a campaign and share a link. Players follow what you show them and see fog lift live, with no account needed. There's also a window for a second screen at the table.
Can I make a working ship instead?
Yes. The Starship setting is the same hull in working order, and you can change a map's setting after it's made, keeping the layout.
How are the maps made?
By rules, not by drawing a picture: the generator lays out the map from a seed, so the same seed gives the same map. Some of the art it draws with is made with image models.
