As the title says, I'm finally applying the 'print & paste' method to the sci-fi genre...
...and, as I say in the video, this is just the beginning (or at least I hope it is ).
Anyway, hope you like 'em

Back in the early 1980's, I played Traveller. Loved the game, but it was uber-challenging in scope. As GM, I had to prepare not one planet, but dozens! Anyway, these make me long for playing Traveller again... Cheers!

I've only ever played Traveller a couple of times - but I enjoyed it. Also, speaking of Traveller - have you seen THIS (not my work, but it's super cool).

That hurts, kris ! Ouch! I've seen deck plans before, and they made me drool, and yearn for my trusty laser pistol. I played some Traveller, in the later 80's, as a Player, not a GM. Had some great adventures, very exciting, very fun, and at times, downright scary! I really want to play Traveller again... We ran one adventure where we picked up some hi-tech space suits. We jumped to a low-tech world, where we sold them off for 1 Million+ Credits! We purchased a shuttle which could just reach orbit, which allowed us to keep our Scout ship in orbit, when we needed to go to the surface of a world. That was the first time, ever, I enjoyed gaming economics! The Shuttle even had one hard-point, where we could mount a weapon, after we made another economic splash, earning another million Credits... If only we would have had floor plans for the Shuttle, and the Scout. [ Sigh!...] Not enough time to get players together to play D&D, let alone Traveller. I know if I ran a Traveller game, it would be a blast: with 39 years of DM'ing experience, I know I could run a fun game, with the "out of the box" thinking, players I have now. I need more lifetime's to play everything I want to play! GRRRrrr!... Cheers -- I think!

I used to design star ships for Traveller and map the deck plans on grid paper back when I played. I managed to use my High School Algebra because of it!
Course most of our games were of the Monty Hall variety! Our GM really liked us playing extremely high powered campaigns!

I was fascinated with the ability in Traveller to turn a whole starship into a 26-digit alphanumeric code sequence. Probably contributed to my becoming a programmer.

drl2 , I had totally forgotten about that aspect of starships, within Traveller... Fascinating tidbit. Traveller truly was ahead of its time. I still long to play it again, but I have such a hard time getting my players together for my D&D game, I can't muddy the water with another RPG game (it would be the same players...). Cheers!

Anyway, here's the latest video (adding a bit of scatter terrain to the tiles)...

Hope you like it!
