[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5860504, member: 463"] One big advantage of fantasy RPGs is the positive externality effect of it being the biggest genre. One of these effects is tons of great miniatures and scaled battlemats that can be used across games. I can use my wonderful Pathfinder flipmats for Dungeons & Dragons, my D&D minis for Pathfinder, and both for any other similar-genre fantasy RPG. To a lesser extent, many of the fantasy flipmats are useable for games set in the 19th century and earlier, eg Western games. When it comes to sf/modern/post-apoc, not so great. I have some minis, but not the terrain to put them on. Sometimes the natural terrain flipmats may be useable, but I don't have a collection of 'built terrain' battlemaps I can use. Is anyone aware of a good source of science fiction/future and modern/near-future/post-apocalypse battlemaps scaled to 25mm-30mm scale? Starports, lounges, offices, subway stations, starship deck plans, that sort of thing? I can use the blank Paizo flipmats ok, but they don't have the inspirational effect a fully detailed 1" starship deck plan would have. [/QUOTE]
