Drink Till You See Stars...

Slip into a private booth and let the story begin. Whether your illegal negotiations with a freighter captain break out in a sword fight or your celebratory night in an opulent space resort's lounge turns into an action-packed shootout, star-faring adventures tend to begin or end in the bar! Starfinder Flip-Mat: Cantina presents both low-life and high-class options for urban intrigue, from a scum-riddled backwater dive appropriate for any colony planet or drifter asteroid, to a high-society dance club befitting the richest space stations and star-yachts. Either way, the drinks flow and lasers fly, as both include their own back rooms for private shows and dirty deals. Immerse your players in the secret plots and exhilarating gunfights found in space nightlife! With Starfinder Flip-Mat: Cantina, you might find your next adventure just a drink away!

Nice and full of flavour map

5/5

Don't understand why some people just complain for the smallest of things, this is an awesome map, with great art, and just perfect for the many scenes that a cantina in space could create. All in all, an excellent map.

A map I find useful and works well for me...


Great Detail and Sound Aesthetic

5/5

I've always found it interesting that, thanks to the famous scene in A New Hope, one doesn't go to a "bar" in many space-fantasy settings: instead, one goes to a "cantina" (which is just the Spanish word for the same thing!). Anyway, the Starfinder Cantina flip-mat is a really nice double-sided depiction of two very-different versions of the space-cantina concept. I've used it now in a couple of different scenarios.

One side is like what you would find in Mos Eisley: a dirty, dimly-lit decrepit hive of scum and villainy. It has private booths for whispered conversations (where someone could shoot first!), a curved bar where someone's arm could get chopped off, a stage for some (ahem!) j+*z-wailing, and then some other sensible features like a private back room for high-stakes gambling, a dingy kitchen, toilets, etc. It's a very good-looking mat with tons of little details for an evocative scene.

The other side is a well-lit, glitzy nightclub of the type you'd find on a fancy cruise liner or in an expensive section of someplace like Absalom Station. Multiple bars, a large dance floor, back offices, and more make it useful for a wide variety of encounters. I really like how you can see exactly where the queue would line up so the bouncers can judge whether people make the grade and are allowed in. As we discovered the other night, the place would be a death-trap if there were a fire, but money can buy off safety inspectors!

In sum, both sides of this flip-mat are great, and I definitely envision using it for multiple SF games.


Such a joke

1/5

This is seriously such a joke. You've clearly displayed with the newly released Urban Sprawl pack that you can make perfect gridlines, but these are still completely awful, with some half-grids and thirds-of-grids jutting out of the sides, but whyyyy? Just have it jut out by an entire gridbox, that'll give the players some room to sneak around to boot. But no, let's mess it up.

Nice art, awful grid, fix it.


Good art but your grid lines are terrible

2/5

If you don't like drawing maps, you'll want to get this one. I do like the art on it and it definitely fits the Starfinder theme.

However, once again, the SF map team can't seem to get the gridlines lined up like the PF ones. From what I understand, these were in production before feedback from the Basic Terrain maps were read. Please get the next one right. If not, I'm done buying these products.

This gets 2 stars ONLY because of the art. Grid lines are atrocious.

Good, so it does not look like the wooden tavern pictured above? I am excited that we'll have a Cantina map!

Hmm

Description seems to say one side is more Sci-fi and the other is a gritty colony tavern. Both could work pretty well but I think they probably should make the Sci-fi side the one shown in the image. Perhaps that map isn't finished yet?

Does it have a little microchip that plays Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes' greatest hits when you open the map all the way up?

Because that would be way cool.

Way.

Cool.

I am curious to see how different this map is from the tavern maps available in the Pathfinder line. I may have all the maps I need by the time this comes out.

KHHHHAAAAANNNN!!!


was this just added yesterday? because now I know I have to get into this game, or at least use the maps to augment pathfinder.
Also, I would prefer not to get into the debate about who shot first, because depending on which cut of the trilogy you adhere to, the frames of footage have differing opinions, It is a deep and potentially reality-warping ambiguous hint at something far greater, and if we ever find out who really did shoot first, the earth would vanish in a puff of smoke like you would see shortly after a Vogon constructor fleet destroys a planet for an intergalactic hyperspace expressway.... wait, talking about star wars, getting into Hitchhiker's Guide. I should really watch myself, I may betray my secret nerdy wish to have players visit Mos Eisley and the Restaurant at the End of the Universe...

In your reality, is it spelled Berenstain or Berenstein?

This map is a great idea. I hope they update the description to show sample pics of both sides.


Very cool! I may have to pick this up! If the sci-fi side looks good I will definitely be grapping this one!

Oooh, hopefully it would be a nice place to spend Unification Day and not in any way start a bar brawl.

Nice!

The low-live version looks great & could also work for Pathfinder.
Bought.


I mean no disrespect but I'll be passing this up in wait for the dead Suns map pack, which will have an awesome cantina.

Silver Crusade

The grid lines on both sides don't seem to match up. Any reason why this is?

Has this map the same problems as the previous one?

Are the squares too big and/or cut off?
Or what do you mean?


On the hex map some of the hexes are not aligned perfectly with the rest of the grid.

There's a hex map for the cantina?

Do you know more than the rest of us? Paizo do not usually provide map packs of that kind for adventure paths.

I think it's easily possible to simply substitute this map for the Fusion Queen.

I took him to mean the adventure path Map Folio. Of course, they aren't usually released until the last issue of the adventure path is, so we aren't likely to see the AP map folio until May 2018.

Well, we don't even know yet if there'll be map folio for Starfinder adventure path, and if so, they most certainly will not have maps in miniature scale like a flip-mat.

Hey Zaister. You are more correct than you know. Currently we have NOT announced a Map Folio product to support the Starfinder APs. I can't say for sure that we will not make one but right now there isn't one on our working schedule for 2018.

And even if we did, we don't tend to order maps for our Adventures in high enough resolution to be suitable for miniatures combat so its likely that they wouldn't be included even if we made the product.

Well, THAT'S an interesting map. Might have to pick it up.

I'd forgotten about the map resolutions in the map folios. It's been a while since I picked one up.

Given the fact that map folios have been produced for every Pathfinder AP, it was a reasonable assumption that we'd see a Starfinder map folio. Also, the current product pages don't even show the expected release date for part 6 of Dead Suns. I figured if a map folio was going to be produced, it might just show up later.

I'm not particularly disappointed that there won't be a map folio, though. The Starfinder products are already pretty cool, and I'm sure there'll be something awesome to take its place.

You probably mean the squares, as there should be no hexes on this map. ;-)

Is this the case on the pdf or on the actual print product flip-mat?
And how many squares are we talking about?

Thank you all for the replies. :-)

It's a lot better than the Basic Terrain map (disaster) but if you have 2 of these maps (both sides showing) and align them short-end to short-end, they won't match. The quality control of these flipmats as compared to the normal Pathfinder ones are lackluster and I'm being nice about that.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I don't have a great ruler, but it seems to me that the squares on this map are close to an inch but slightly bigger than the equivalent squares on a Pathfinder flipmat.

I wonder if there's been some metric/imperial translation error in the Starfinder line?

It's certainly a usable map (and there aren't a lot of places on the border where you'd want to add another map anyhow - in the Pathfinder line, this could well have been one of those self-contained maps where they don't put a grid right to the border).

Nonetheless, going forward it would clearly be advantageous for the Pathfinder maps to line up smoothly with the Starfinder ones. I also personally find the darker grid markings to detract more than they add. That's obviously going to be an aesthetic/usability issue that's going to vary pretty substantially between users.


Any clue when the print version of this map will be available again?


I like this map
Every adventure I run has a cantina in it now!!

Its funny sir, how we always wind up in an alliance friendly bar come "U" day lookin for a quiet drink.


I just want to know are there any plans in the future to fix the grid-lines on these maps? They look cool,but are they going to work on roll20 and the like?
