To add on, at my work we started getting yubikeys for the people who didnt want Microsoft's authenticator on their phone and found they still need to download the mfa to set up the yubikey in the first place. So its not a perfect solution if you dont want the authenticator to touch your phone at all.

I can also confirm that the help desk members who are not enlightened about Microsoft will ridicule you for not wanting the MFA even if its reasonable to not want Microsoft on your phone. As much as we think all techs are Linux nerds, I have the opposite at my work. Some of the higher up techs are constantly trying to get people to switch to windows 11...

Am I crazy or does that screenshot have Japan in it? Why would a Japanese company ban a game about Japan in Japan?

I'm proud to be wrong. The beef dudes or the imperfect dwarf are my favorite

I think America is really good at getting attention so everything good and bad is magnified by how much exposure it gets. So our dumbasses are some of the loudest and best at being noticed for their dumbassery in the whole world.

This is so cool!

NGL I didn't read the title at first and thought these were all jack o lanterns

All of these maps were made with Stars without Number revised edition, or dark heresy first edition in mind. They aren't super intentionally designed to cater to either of those systems though.

I can certainly try. If I still have the dungeon draft files still I can load the original projects and make both clean and hex versions without much issue

Its not surprising. I used to work at one of these places and they would laugh at any viable alternative acting like it would never have a chance. They also were well aware of the fact that some of their distributors illegally kill the returned horshoe crabs and turn them into fertilizer. So any claims that they're not hurting the horshoe crabs are bullshit. They've just offloaded the hurt to contractors who are 50/50 on actually trying to protect the crabs and just using them as bait. Even if they didn't do that, I've always been suspect that the crabs do great in the wild after losing 60% of their blood.

Just saw this in person for the first time the other day. Its amazing and much larger than I thought. Its very striking.

Yeah exactly! I especially find this true for sci-fi. There are some great battlemaps for sci-fi out there, but they tend to depict very similar places in similar settings, as another commenter mentioned, or just be a recreation of something from star wars for the umpteenth time. There's a place for maps of wildly different locales in sci-fi games. Alien planets have backwater towns too! Not every map needs to be a space station, a hangar, or a cyberpunk city.

Hopefully I've helped make a teeny tiny dent in the sci fi map variety issue.

Hey thanks!

This Dropbox account was solely made for this purpose so I can probably fix that. I'm not very online so I'm not too worried anyways, but I apprediate your concern and help!

 

I don’t see many Sci-Fi battlemaps being posted so I thought I would help out a little bit. I have been running 2 sci-fi rpgs concurrently for 3 years and have amassed quite a few decent maps that I have made in DungeonDraft. They are nothing special, but considering how rare sci-fi maps can be, I hope someone finds them helpful. These were all made for 40k or SWN but feel free to use them wherever. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ewe4a3qi083phftrz4f0r/h?rlkey=76c1aogifucbbds47u8fms7eh&dl=0
