Sci-fi

Maps for the frontier.

Dying colonies and dusty mining worlds, salvage yards and starship decks. Chart a star system, drop to a planet, land at a colony and end up in the corridor your players are standing in, each map made from the one above it.

Procedural, from the seed up

Real worlds, built by rules

Planets get their craters, colonies their fences and ships their decks from rules you can reroll. Every bulkhead, door and light is real data you can move, not pixels in a picture.

Roll for it

A deck plan, right here, right now

A proper hull with an engine block astern, the bridge in the bow and compartments off a spine corridor, or a hive, a mine or a lab gone quiet. Bulkheads, sliding doors and cold light come as standard. So does the wear.

Worlds to stand on

What's outside the airlock?

Every colony stands on a planet of its own: its ground and sky, its water or none, what grows there and what can kill you. Pick one. These globes are the real generated worlds, turning.

Dune world. Sand to the horizon, rock outcrops, dust storms; no water.

Written, not just drawn

Every compartment logged

Bridge, engineering, cryo bay, brig: each one gets its purpose, its fittings and a line about what's wrong with it, written from what's really on the map, with the crew and whatever got aboard already placed.

Places to land

Sites with something wrong at them

A colony under siege or in quarantine, a refinery, a labour camp, a hive where the colony used to be. Built as a mile or two of ground, ready to zoom into.

Every readout on the bridge

One colony, every instrument

See it as an orbital photo, a survey scan, a tactical display or a thermal image. Print it as a blueprint, or as the brochure the company handed out. The map underneath never moves. Drag the handle.

Run it from here, or send it where you play

Share a link and your players are in, with no sign-up for them. You paint back the fog, show them the map and hand them their tokens. They only ever get what you've revealed: never the notes, never the secret doors.

Fog you paint by hand, or a room at a time
Live tokens players can move for themselves
Torchlight, time of day and weather
Bring your maps into Foundry, Owlbear Rodeo or Roll20
Export a picture, or Universal VTT with walls, doors and lights

Crew manifest

Marines, androids and things from the vents

Type a roster and get it back as tokens: crew in worn gear, troopers, synthetics and our own aliens, all made for this genre and all in several looks.
