Whether the heroes are hunting down a body merchant guilty of selling corpses for necromantic reanimation or exploring the ruins of an alien civilization devastated by a natural disaster, no Game Master wants to spend time drawing every blasted wasteland and gutted building. Fortunately, with Paizo's latest Starfinder Flip-Mat, you don't have to! This line of gaming maps provides ready-to-use science-fantasy set pieces for the busy Game Master. This double-sided map features the inhospitable surface of a planet inhabited by the undead on one side and the shattered structures of a ruined city on the other. Don't waste time sketching when you could be playing. With Starfinder Flip-Mat: Dead World, you'll be ready the next time your players visit the planet of the dead!
A special coating on each Flip-Mat allows you to use wet erase, dry erase, AND permanent markers with ease! Removing permanent ink is easy—simply trace over any permanent mark with a dry erase marker, wait 10 seconds, then wipe off both marks with a dry cloth or paper towel.
24" × 30" mat

The Dead World flip-mat features the usual advantages of Paizo flip-mats: wet & dry erase, 1-inch squares, and a good size.
One side of the mat presents some city streets after some huge natural disaster or cataclysmic war. There's an impressive amount of nicely-detailed destruction--several collapsed buildings, crashed ground vehicles, and debris scattered everywhere. Interestingly, on a closer look, there are a couple of chambers actively being used as survival shelters (with lit campfires)--this might limit the use of this side a little depending on what the GM is trying to set up.
I've had a couple of opportunities to use the other side (in both a Starfinder Society scenario and as a dragon graveyard for a Pathfinder module) and I really like it. It's a blasted, obviously toxic landscape complete with giant skeletons, chasms, poisonous gas, chemical pools, and more. The description on the packaging labels this side "a planet inhabited by the undead", but apart from a few faintly visible skulls in the gas clouds, I don't necessarily see that element--but that's probably good, because it's more flexible without it.
Overall, I think this was a well-done mat, as lots of games could include a wasteland and a ruined city.
