I’ve been preparing to run a TTRPG called Death in Space for my friends, and I have poured dozens of hours into map making for one of the bigger locations of the setting. It’s called the Iron Ring, and it is a giant orbital structure built around a yellow moon called Inaro.
This screenshot of the map is approximately 150,000 square meters. I plan to have about 5 more locations this size.
Agreed. I’ve been obsessed with it. And I Made it extra challenging for myself by using a bigger screen, a whole whopping 9 inches. And then to add insult to injury I’m making removable batteries, a locking mechanism so it can be taken apart on the fly, a full mouse and keyboard, and a fan for airflow.
Eventually I might also add a GPS unit inside it too for the hell of it.
This is the exact thought I had as I saw this post.
I’m currently building one out of an ammo can with a raspberry pi and an ungodly amount of squeezing and CAD work.
Very much inspired by this guy’s buiild:

I’ve gotten so much farther in my projects by saying “screw it, I can come back to that later” than I have in the past.
I’m now at a point where I could probably release an alpha version of my game, which is very exciting.
