I'd like to pick the brains of you fine folk.

I'm getting the gridded galaxy map printed on a vinal banner from Vistaprint. Just designing it atm, and as the banner is a rectangle and the map square, I'm left with a big chunk at 1 end to play with.

So I need suggestions of usefull stuff to put in there for use in game.

Obviously Destiny tracker is top of my list, what else would you all include? Have any if you designed similar game tracker sheets yourselves?

Legend for the Map? Are the Hyperlanes color coded and all that or is that info on the square portion already?

It's the massive gridded one linked in the topic about fuel cost mechanics.

Ok, after lots of messing around, decided on stuff from the gm screen, and an initiative tracker.

Here's a screengrab from the Vistaprint site. I'm just hoping all that text comes out legible and a decent size. Ordered a 52cm x 91cm indoor banner.

Will let you all know how it comes out.

Hard to tell without more detail, but it seems nice!

Let us know how it turns out

I took all the tables needed (That I think needed to be on the GMs screen) and scanned them into my 'puter. I was about half way through and thought 'Why don't I just 'Snipping Tool' them from the pdf 😄 .... and I probably forgot some that I JUST KNOW I'm going to NEEEEEED

EDIT: I also took the Galaxy Map that someone very kindly made on these forums and inverted the colours on MSPaint to save ink... still does the job perfectly even if it is a bit small on A4 - I'm in half a mind to reprint on A3

I took screen grabs from the pdf on my phone, then cropped them.

SUCCESS!.. Ish.

Overall it's come out really well.

The map looks great. Most of the text in the GM screen bits is a bit soft, could definitely be crisper. The 2 crit tables and the weapon qualities I made far too small, and are almost completely illegible.

Still, mainly wanted it for the map, and was just using up space with all the GM screen stuff, so I'm pretty chuffed to be honest.

And it cost less than 20 quid, including postage.

How did you extract the map from the webpage to show all the planet names?

Pretty sure there was an option to download it.

Thanks for the link. I did find an error on the map. Tython is missing and he has Empress Teta as two planets although it's easy to fix in the PDF

Good spot. Don't see my group ever getting that close to the core. Will blame their crappy nav charts if they ever do, lol.

My players just spent a bit of time on Tython so it was fresh in my mind when I was looking over the map
