Mongoose has a free christmas gift:

Orbital Reds is a free Traveller... Paranoia.... Travenoia mission, including everything you need to explore the utopia of Alpha Complex... using the Traveller rules set!

https://www.mongoosepublishing.com/products/orbital-reds

Orbital Reds is an adventure for Traveller set in the funniest dystopia around, Alpha Complex from the game Paranoia. It uses the same rules from the Traveller Core Rulebook but players take roles as Paranoia’s Troubleshooters trying to protect their utopia from an old weapons platform in orbit. It would be best if the team knew what space and orbit mean, but ignorance is not just bliss here. It is a survival trait.

I’m still unsatisfied with the “mass of trees”. Seems like individual trees is the way to go. At least for my own drawing skills.

For those curious about what I was actually trying to accomplish, at the beginning of this video Nate shows a few styles:

If you pause at 2:32… I wanted mostly #2, but mixed with #5

It’s short, but it’s a start:

Speaking of old media… I was hesitant to recommend Carmilla, since I wasn’t sure you’d be looking for books (the most remarkable merit being that it was written before Dracula and even the invention of cinema), but TIL there is indeed a movie:

Oh. I hadn’t noticed!! 😅

Yeah, me too. ;) I think there's at least something worth learning.

I'll usually avoid creating a new post with very basic tests such as this one... forest types

... so for my latest tests, I still try to finish something.

[–] roflo1@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Thanks!

Turns out I started these forest tests because I was trying this type of mountain ridge style and I'm trying to find a tree style that goes along nicely.

Campaign Cartographer 3+ is indeed only available for Windows. Though I must say that I have it working under WINE just fine. YMMV, ofc.

[–] roflo1@ttrpg.network 1 points 4 weeks ago

Glad I could help.

One more thing: The official forum is a place full of very nice and helpful people.

I do use it myself for SciFi (mostly for Traveller) and I like it. Of course, the number of available styles is not as overwhelming as the ones available for fantasy, but there are some good options.

One thing worth noting: for Sci-Fi you definitely want the highest tier, which includes Cosmographer and all the annuals.

The page for Cosmographer shows a few styles: https://www.profantasy.com/products/cos3_examples.asp

And here's a few deckplan exampless on a classic Traveller style: https://www.profantasy.com/products/cos3_deckplans.asp

As for the annuals, there's this post on the forum with a small screenshot/thumbnail for each issue in most annuals: https://forum.profantasy.com/discussion/10366/cartographers-annual-all-the-issues-linked-in-one-place

Finally, there's this Youtube Playlist with a few of the mapping sessions that focused on Sci-Fi styles: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrFvDl9qgYgsCVt58a41H3rcDjsAc4P4h
