Strange New Worlds – Planetary Maps – BX17

Have your players gone off course? Do you need some inspiration to kickstart their next mission? Then here’s a ready-made planet to drop in their way, which is intended for use with any Sci-Fi/Star Wars/Star Trek type roleplaying game.

This product is a map of a planet, that could be a point of interest in a solar system, a mystery to be solved, or a setting for an ongoing plot.

BX17 is a small planetoid, formed of black basaltic rock. There is significant volcanicity within the brittle crust, and this produced a large number of active lava fields across the surface. The lava itself is strangely coloured, radioactive, and it pools in the remains of exploded volcanoes and the craters left by the occasional meteorite strike. Where and when will the next supervolcano erupt?

This product includes 30” by 15” maps of the planet, including the following variants (as full colour JPG files):

No Grid
Hex Grid
Square Grid (30 x 15)
Hex Grid (green lines)
Square Grid (green lines)

All maps supplied at VTT resolution (140dpi), 4,200 by 2,100 pixels.

Also included – animated images of the planet (as a spinning globe) to drop onto your VTT star maps. These are GIF files with a transparent background and a pixel count of 512 by 512. Two GIFs are supplied, with different spin speeds (to add some variety to your VTT solar systems).

There is also a non-Roll20 version of this product on DrivethruRPG, which contains both 140dpi and 300dpi versions of all maps (the latter being more suitable for printing), along with PDF data sheets and plot hooks that will assist a GM in making memorable encounters. You can find that product here:
DrivethruRPG Link: Strange New Worlds – BX17 (includes datasheets & plot hooks)

And:
There is also a battlemap available in the same style as these world maps. This is suitable for a small encounter or area of interest on BX17, or indeed anywhere you might need some ‘strange lava’ or chaos corruption. Please check it out here:

Note that the grids are intentionally faint, so they are not very obvious on the main product preview images above - I have added closeups for both Hex and Square so you can see the grid more easily.
