Publisher: Gethsemane GamesMap making can be time-consuming and sometimes frustrating for GMs, especially GMs with limited time to begin with. In our new ‘GM’s Maps’ range, we will be providing a range of pre-made maps for you to use in your games.
Since the first humans learned to communicate we have traded, exchanging goods from one place to another, from where they are plentiful to where they are not. From the early caravans to the trading vessels of the tall ships period, to the huge container ships of the 20th and 21st century and onwards. When humanity hurls itself into space and begins to colonise other worlds, trading vessels will be needed that can cover the immense distances.
Of course, wherever there have been traders, there have been those that would prey upon them. Thieves, bandits and pirates are as much a part of humanity’s story as traders and explorers.
Depicted here is an example of a spacefaring trade ship, armed to repel the inevitable space pirates and to defend its cargo from those that would steal it.
Included you will find a 14 page PDF with the maps, key and some other information as well as a dozen adventure hooks/ideas for you to use with the armed freighter. You will also find 7 tiles for use in a Virtual Tabletop and instructions for getting the best resolution form them in the most popular VTT.
Some Sample Adventure Hooks form this Product;-
Evacuation Stress by Ben Blincoe
A distress signal from another ship, needing passengers evacuated.
The Other ship’s captain says they have a few people that need to escape, but when you dock you find 2 or 3 X the number your ship can take safely.
They are flooding on board…
Not as it Seems by Alexzander Christion
The ship has a gas leak and is causing hallucinations. Group-think and panic are inventing problems that don’t exist, leading the crew to sabotage the ship while the ship deploys its defences against the crew who think they are the good guys.
Alternatively, the PCs are part of another ship’s crew responding to the distress beacon, when they arrive the people they have come to save think they are being boarded by pirates and spiral even further into madness.
