These ones particularly made me rethink my no-scifi rule.Quote:

But scifi is too alien for my medieval ages brain lol.
When i try to imagine what those machines could do, i cant think of anything.
But It is amazing to see people run entire scifi campaigns and create these futuristic gadgets.
Alien-ish for sci-fi is perfect :)
I tried to make these feel alien, and I also wanted to give them a sense that these are almost quick setup structures that can be adapted for various use. So I did two variations, though they have the same outer foot print and mechanicals, they are built out differently on the inside.
I used a glass table symbol as a type of liquid cocoon-bed. And a i don't know what for the shower/toilet.
Oh, I love to blow up those cocoons in video games :D But sound fx, vfx cant replace real imagination.Quote:

But for starters, they inspired me to place a dilemma: targets are cocoons but blowing them up means life forms inside will go out unharmed because the inner shell protects them. Not blowing them up means they'll go out stronger.
lol, yea, dilemmas are good :)
I tried to make sure these maps were not stand-alone or single use. For instance, the Titan Forge maps, I used for multiple visits by the party to the facility. Once as potential partners/clients where the visited the south building. Another where the raided the north building for specific info. And then they realized later they had to go to the data archives to destroy backup copies of the data they had stolen. Oculus base they have only visited one of the northern domes, but they are probably going to have to go back to destroy the main emitter array and the particle accelerators. Similar with the Void Enclave map. First time they visited they were delivering supplies to a shady organization, next time they were infiltrating and blowing it up!
So I was going through replacing the missing links/images and then realized that I had already re-posted the missing images later on. So here's one I did on request. Don't know if the module ever got released, but this is an alien "Hunting Preserve" So the wall is to keep things in, and not out. Though maybe their is a cave complex in the SE that has tunnels that lead out. Or the wall in the north with the lake and river running through it has a way to get through... I wouldn't know...
