Frozen Moments [scenario] (ttrpg.network)

Salutations, Kultists! It’s that time of year once again — the machinery of the Illusion turns through another cycle, and with it, we’re pleased to offer you a new tribute.

Download this and the previous KULTmas scenarios here: bit.ly/kultmas

https://bit.ly/kultmas

This year, we invite you to help Robert Bullis evade the relentless forces of a powerful lictor of Geburah. Frozen Moments, the classic introductory scenario for the second and third editions of KULT, has now been updated for Divinity Lost by its original author, Jason Fryer.

Designed as a one-shot for Sleeper characters who become Aware by the end, the scenario also leaves plenty of space for a full campaign to grow if you wish to continue the story after its conclusion.

We hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and we’d love to hear how your Frozen Moments game turns out. Be sure to come back and share your experiences with us on the usual social channels. We’re everywhere at this point!

See you in the next cycle!

Free Traveller-Paranoia crossover adventure (www.mongoosepublishing.com)

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

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:

Ridge [overland] (trying individual trees) in c/micro_maps@ttrpg.network
[–] roflo1@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 weeks ago

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.

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.

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

That’s the main way it’s used, but there’s no limitation to use it in another way.

There are some styles suited for modern day maps. Or historical maps, such as the April issue of this annual:

https://www.profantasy.com/annual/2022/2022-cartographers-annual.asp

And with Cosmographer and a few annual issues included, there’s plenty of SciFi styles to choose.

They have a YouTube channel where they stream a mapmaking session, you get to see quite a few styles:
