Maps of Mastery: Heavy Courier Ship & Offworld Shipping Center
Maps of Mastery
This high-quality, double-sided poster map features a complete starship on one side and a spaceport facility on the other! Designed by veteran cartographer Christopher West for use in any science fiction RPG or miniatures game, this folded poster is the premiere offering in his Maps of Mastery line.
The map measures 22 by 34 inches when unfolded, and features a 1-inch grid for play with most miniatures game systems. Various objects and structural elements printed in the maps feature fine colored lines to mark the boundaries of different kinds of terrain, like walls and obstacles; these are easily ignored if your game of choice doesn't need specific designations for terrain types, but useful if it does.
The front of the poster is designated the "Exodus-Class Heavy Courier," and was designed with RPG use in mind. Many different kinds of sci-fi adventures take place aboard starships or even involve the player characters as owners of their own transport—this ship fills both niches very well. It's a large freighter or transport ship outfitted with secret cargo holds for restricted goods and enough bunks and escape pods to support a good-sized number of passengers. The ship was built to ferry important cargo or VIPs across territorial boundaries and past enemy blockades.
The Offworld Shipping Center, on the back, includes a another complete (but smaller) courier ship in the upper-right-hand corner, parked in the docking bay of a spaceport-type location that includes a refueling station, big cargo bays, a command center with holographic display, and a workshop for the sci-fi train that uses this port as a loading facility. Multiple bridges and conveniently-positioned cargo cranes provide crossing-points for the recessed train channel.

I purchased this product shortly after GenCon this past year (09), and they are awesome. They are balanced enough for skirmish games, and have enough utility for a good RPG. They look professionnally done, none of this homemade looking stuff. One half matchs up to one of the Star Wars Minatures (WOTC) maps as well.
This is a great buy for a mini's player or a RPGer looking for some nice locations.

wow Chris,
This looks gorgeous. Is Maps of Mastery a product line you're going to work on exclusively?

Thanks guys!
Maps of Mastery is my own company/brand for independent map projects that I wish to sell directly to players. This poster is my first offering in this new enterprise; since I've done most of the official cartography for the Star Wars miniatures games, and players of that game are craving new skirmish maps, it seemed logical for my first double-sided poster to have a sci-fi nature. The next one will be useful to the triumvirate of fantasy, sci-fi, and modern RPG players!
You can learn more about these maps and upcoming products at my website: mapsofmastery.com. I've got a little feedback forum set up there, as well as a gallery of some past work.
I am still doing contracted work for other publishers as well, but I had a lot of free time earlier this year to prepare some new content of my own. This is the result. :)
