"This dimly-lit tavern known for its strong drinks, hot tunes, and occasional outbreaks of shocking violence. Most star pilots visiting Tatooine spend their downtime in the cantina, making it an ideal spot to hire a starship's crew." - Star Wars Databank

Welcome to the Mos Eisley Cantina! This is my interpretation of the famous location from Star Wars. This tavern features a large central bar surrounded by alcoves where patrons can gather and drink. It has a main entrance and an emergency entrance in the back.

Has anyone seen or played Voidrunner Codex? I didn't even see it when it launched, I just found it yesterday when I stumbled on the Alpha Star magazine crowdfunding.

Another SciFi (postapoc) delivery by 2mtt:

Our new map is a huge section of metro – tracks, platform, and shops – all destroyed by some apocalyptic collapse. Fellow fans of Fallout or Metro 2033, this is your dream map!

A partially-collapsed subway station now overgrown with post-apocalyptic plant life.

I received this in some newsletter, and I didn't know what it was. Took me a while. Need more coffee, I guess. Or maybe I was drifting without comms whenever the previous event happened, and I just couldn't know.

But apparently, Mothership Month has returned:

https://www.backerkit.com/c/collections/mothership-month-2025

Basically, it's a bunch of crowdfunding campaigns, all centered on Mothership. Some discounts apply to early backers.

And it seems like some rewards are unlocked depending on the number of campaigns that become funded.

For my Mongoose 2E campaign, I made my own custom GM screen, with only the stuff I found myself needing on a regular basis. It's 3 landscape pages, designed to be put in a customizable GM screen.

Hey there I did a similar event last year for delta green one-shots on the week leading up to Halloween and had a great time.

This year I would like to do some cassette futurism / sci-fi horror. Aliens, Dead Space, etc. are good cultural touchstones.

I use roll 20 as a virtual table top, and discord for voice. I have been running tabletop roleplaying games online for hexbear users for a couple years now with a lot of success.

I use the X-Card and Lines & Veils safety tools.

I will provide all needed information and materials to play the game. I like to have a group of 3-4 players. I'm looking to have a fifteen minute rules introduction, and then about a 3 hour play session with fifteen minutes of aftertalk.

Please DM me or comment if you are interested. I'm flexible on times but prefer to play CET evenings / EST afternoons.

I will repost this in October, Thank you for reading!!!

I guess this is great news if you use Roll20's VTT:

https://con.roll20.net/#hs_cos_wrapper_widget_1755613004582

The adventures are:

• Alien RPG: Chariot of the Gods
• Tales of the RED: Hope Reborn - The Angel's Share Addon

Oh, there's also a D&D Eberron module there.

Another Sci-Fi contribution at 2-minute-tabletop; this time a fanmade handout by "Toaster":

I think it's more suitable for use in a VTT than printed out, but hey... what do I know? I don't even have a working color printer. ;)

I reread Mothership’s Player Survival guide and it struck me as odd that it says that “in space you can last 15 seconds without oxygen before falling unconscious”.

And it seems very low. Maybe the key is that it’s only if you are in space? In the cold, vacuum space? Of course I couldn’t help myself and tried holding my breath for 30 seconds and it was very easy with an atmosphere. And I’m no astronaut, athlete, nor scuba diver.

I’m thinking about houseruling that if you’re able to at least take a ~~deep breath~~ few short breaths to oxygenate and then let go beforehand, you should add a number of seconds equal to your Body save. And any previous training would add an advantage.

Does that seem reasonable?

Today is the 20th anniversary of the launch of TravellerMap.

Since I'm lazy, go read the 10th anniversary post for some history.

Welcome to the Run Down Motel, a place that has seen better days. This motel is home to shady characters, long-forgotten secrets, and perhaps the occasional crime or two. Staying here for a night is cheap, but you might end up paying in other ways...

This map features two separate buildings- the motel itself and a smaller lobby. The motel features 7 economy-sized rooms and a much larger master suite. The lobby building includes the reception desk, a storage room, and an office.

This map pack includes Modern, Cyberpunk, and Abandoned variants.

Zozer Games' excellent survival horror sci-fi RPG is available on BoH. Everything you need to run and play and more for under $10 or a full set of books for a little over $20.

And I finally ventured to draw a ship.

Largest "Small Craft"

Currently working on designs for some larger "small craft". variant Shuttles, a Marine Dropship, and a larger Marine Assault Carrier. The dropship is 40 dton, and the shuttle variants are 100, 200, and 500 dtons, the assault carrier is probably 400 dtons. What is the range of small craft in your Traveller universe?
