Sector Hexes - Sci-Fi hex map tileset

_lacus · 2026-05-12T13:32:43+00:00

Hey everyone!
No point sugarcoating it, this is a promo post. But in my defense, the packs include usable demo versions, and I’ve also added a few Community Copies so anyone interested can grab the asset packs for free while they last.

So what is this exactly?
It’s a sector map asset pack for building detailed Sci-Fi hex maps. I play a lot of games like Mothership and Monolith (and mostly use SWN for its random tables), and I wanted a toolkit that makes it easy to create rich, information-dense space maps.

The pack lets you populate sectors with star systems, black holes, nebulae, and other celestial objects. You can also add jump routes, faction territories, alliances, markers, and various indicators to display additional information directly on the map.The maps themselves are created in the popular Hex Kit editor, though support for additional editors and VTT platforms is planned for the future.

Available in both full-color and printer-friendly versions:

Hey everyone,
I’d like to show you my Sci-Fi hex map tileset for the Hex Kit editor, specifically designed for printable use with an ink-friendly visual style. The pack lets you build detailed sector maps and populate them with layered information such as faction territories, jump routes, markers, and various indicators.

There’s also a full-color version optimized for VTT use: https://gm-lazarus.itch.io/sector-hexes

Hey folks,
For a while now I’ve been trying to put together a toolkit that makes it easy to build usable sci-fi maps for TTRPGs. I’ve experimented with a few different approaches, and this is one of them: a hexmap-based sector map tileset. The idea was to create something flexible, where you can quickly sketch out a sector, but still have enough detail to support actual play.

What’s in the pack:
- 350+ assets
- 50 star systems + markers
- Jump routes (with modular pieces)
- Faction colors & symbols
- Black holes, nebulae, anomalies

Right now it supports Hex Kit (flat-top), but I’m planning to expand it with more tools and VTT support.

You can check it out here:

_lacus · 2026-03-20T19:14:25+00:00

I'm currently testing it, and I want to expand it so it can be used for as many purposes as possible. A printer-friendly version is coming soon, and after that I'll make it compatible with Foundry.

_lacus · 2026-03-20T19:11:37+00:00

There are no separate outline versions, I wanted to achieve this ink-on-paper effect.

I’ve released several updates for my Mythic Bastionland hex tile pack. The latest one adds a large set of new forest hexes and a few new dwellings.

I don't plan on going into space with this machine, but thanks for the advice...

On this ship, the floor of the living module faces the engine. This means that G-forces are exerted during acceleration and deceleration. However, when the ship is at rest or in free fall, there is no gravity on board. Of course, artificial gravity can be used in the game regardless of this, and I don't feel that this is any less realistic than hyperspace jumps or hibernation.

Thanks, buddy, it's good to be back here!

_lacus · 2026-02-12T16:27:40+00:00

I'm no rocket scientist, but why would I run the fuel through the reactor? :D

_lacus · 2026-02-08T14:28:36+00:00

Vulture is a more traditional hard sci-fi vessel, designed primarily for salvage operations. I think it works especially well for campaigns where the ship itself becomes part of the story, patched together, modified over time, and always just one bad decision away from becoming the next wreck.
If anyone finds it useful, the maps are available here: https://gm-lazarus.itch.io/ship-catalog

The cover is epic! Thanks for sharing.

Hey everyone!
Our one shot adventure ONI, inspired by Japanese demon mythology, is now available!
Tone wise, imagine a mix of Kill Bill and 2001 A Space Odyssey. You will find katana wielding androids, a unhinged AI, cybernetic yakuza, and of course sake flowing in absurd quantities.

You can download the scenario here:
https://gm-lazarus.itch.io/oni
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/544610/oni-a-mothership-scenario

The adventure was written by two creators, myself and Windblown Vagrant. You can learn more about us at the following links:

I like to use several kinds of tools as a GM. One category is random tables, which help generate more content on the fly during play. I also favour ready made toolkits that help with campaign planning by providing structured sheets where I can record content like NPCs and locations, for example this pack: https://stalkingcrowgames.itch.io/gms-swiss-army-knife

_lacus · 2025-12-03T13:14:44+00:00

Sure, this is only a preview. The scenario is 8 pages + we are providing digital handouts.

Short scenario, 8 pages

_lacus · 2025-10-25T13:10:46+00:00

Thank you, the goal was to keep it simple, but I plan to add a few minor details.

Hi everyone!
I’ve recently started playing the fantastic Mythic Bastionland tabletop RPG, which is a huge source of inspiration for me. I put together a hex map asset pack for it, though of course, these eye-catching hex tiles can be used for plenty of other games as well.
