Actual plaster. Diluted.

I don’t know if there are many types, but it’s the one used to fill-in small details or to cover holes left by nails.

Kudos for mentioning Everyone is John.

And since I’m already typing a reply, I might as well link to another obscure RPG (that I haven’t played):

Out of the loop here. What are the recent scandals with Discord?

This is probably not what you’re looking for, but it reminded me of the fan-made Polybius scenario for Kult.

But even if its not what you need, it might be useful as inspiration:

Oh, and if you’re not familiar with the urban legend, give it a search on YouTube.

I’m seeing a lot of broken image fallback icons; mostly for community icons and banners, as well as thumbnails for images posted before the migration. Am I the only one experiencing this?

It’s short, but it’s a start:

Campaign Cartographer 3+ is indeed only available for Windows. Though I must say that I have it working under WINE just fine. YMMV, ofc.

Glad I could help.

One more thing: The official forum is a place full of very nice and helpful people.

I do use it myself for SciFi (mostly for Traveller) and I like it. Of course, the number of available styles is not as overwhelming as the ones available for fantasy, but there are some good options.

One thing worth noting: for Sci-Fi you definitely want the highest tier, which includes Cosmographer and all the annuals.

The page for Cosmographer shows a few styles: https://www.profantasy.com/products/cos3_examples.asp

And here’s a few deckplan exampless on a classic Traveller style: https://www.profantasy.com/products/cos3_deckplans.asp

As for the annuals, there’s this post on the forum with a small screenshot/thumbnail for each issue in most annuals: https://forum.profantasy.com/discussion/10366/cartographers-annual-all-the-issues-linked-in-one-place

Finally, there’s this Youtube Playlist with a few of the mapping sessions that focused on Sci-Fi styles: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrFvDl9qgYgsCVt58a41H3rcDjsAc4P4h

maps

That’s the main way it’s used, but there’s no limitation to use it in another way.

There are some styles suited for modern day maps. Or historical maps, such as the April issue of this annual:

https://www.profantasy.com/annual/2022/2022-cartographers-annual.asp

And with Cosmographer and a few annual issues included, there’s plenty of SciFi styles to choose.

They have a YouTube channel where they stream a mapmaking session, you get to see quite a few styles:

This is an almost-everything bundle. For those unaware, every month they release a style, tool or guide and the 12 months make up each Annual Volume.

This page showcases everything in the latest of the included annuals:

Feel free to ask if you want the opinion of a happy customer.

Thanks for the heads up. Do holler if you need help somehow.

Haven’t tried it myself, but Wylock did a video on the mechanics of his own Neon Skies:

Yeah. Very well summarized.

Perhaps I’d also add that the advancement is earned with blood and sweat. 😅

I suppose YMMV, but to me it’s central. You see, the Hunter becomes a hunter because she heard a higher calling, and believing in it is what keeps it going.

You can rename Conviction to Faith, and it probably shows what I’m hinting at. That faith can get you out of trouble (supernaturally so) but it’s also precious. You’re still human, flimsy and prone to errors, susceptible to doubt.

And you’re way out of your league. All the time.

In oWoD’s Hunter: The Reckoning, you can’t advance your Edges (supernatural abilities) with XP.

To do so, you have to gamble Conviction during the session, while using said Edges (those Conviction points gambled add dice to your pool, ideally improving your odds).

If you succeed at the task, you gain Virtues (with which you can later buy points in Edges).

if you fail the task, you lose Conviction points. If you run out of Conviction, you lose your ability to use Edges at all until you rest/meditate/recover for a full week.

Not sure if it qualifies as “conceptual” or non-mechanical to you. But I love it.

Perhaps not with those exact names, but there’s a fix:

I settled on Campaign Cartographer 3+.

It has a steep learning curve, but seems to be the most powerful tool by far.
