Future Armada: Talon
by Jason M. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 12/21/2010 13:51:55

I keep purchasing the Future Armada Starship designs because they are so well done. I have all of them and they keep getting better and better. I can't wait for the next Future Armada design. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

0 hr: Demon Delve Cavern

These map packs by Ki-Ryn are terrific. I am blown away by the detail and value, and by the obvious thought that went into them. I have purchased several already and I am looking forward to seeing what ese they come up with.

Future Armada: Talon
by Nick M. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 11/19/2010 05:17:11

Future Armada just keeps getting better and better. The deck plans are fantastic and very atmospheric and the write up is inspiring. While I don't use either the D20 system or the exact background present in my campaign neither intrude too much.

For a very reasonable price you get 2 ship - one large and one small. The larger ship 'Talon' has a couple of possible configuration lending itself to being a simple smallish cargo vessel (suitable for something like the typical traveller tramp trader) or a warship configuration making it suitable for a more agressive party or enemy vessel.

The smaller ship 'Wyvern' is definitely meant as a hostile. While its less flexible for a campaign its essentially a bonus piece. The Wyvern feels like a taster for further future armada releases (I hope so)

My ownly complaint - theres too long between Ki Ryn releases, I'm already anticipating the next one!

All told the best deckplans on the market.

0 hr: Sailing Ships
by James L. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/02/2010 23:41:12

If you just need some plain old ships to go on your battle map., this is perfect. Art is good, nicely shaded, etc, very realistic looking for a flat battle map.

A "top deck only" of the large ship would have been nice, but easily managed w/ a pair of scissors.

Future Armada: MisFortune
by Frank B. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 06/06/2010 08:53:17

This is a great ship... with its huge capacity of customizable containers it makes this ship great for so many purposes. I bought it as a colony ship for a traveller game. A surprise to me was how much I enjoyed the art supplied with the product. The pictures really do bring it to life. Almost everything has been thought of in the interior deck layout, and just looking at the plans gives scenario ideas. My only small disappointment is that I would have liked to have seen some cargo container configurations; an example of a passenger can, a vehicle container, maybe a specialised room or so, for say a hospital ship, or a laboratory. Still, it's great work, and I'm very satisfied. :-)

Future Armada: Argos III
by Tim B. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 05/24/2010 05:41:36

Whilst this has been built for a specific background, I bought it hoping I could use it for my Hyperlite campaigns, needing deckplans for deep-space stations or orbital corporate headquarters. It was a shot in the dark, a hope, but one informed by a like of other ki-ryn products.

And it is a shot that has been, in the well-worn cliche, richly rewarded.

The PDF has what it says on the tin - b&w and colour versions, separate files for the graphics (really useful as player handouts - a nice touch), sector info (which I haven't bothered to look at, tbh, and probably won't; use), space port fighter stats and plan, and standard shuttle stats and plan. All of this is accompanied by a lengthy written overview and key.

Firstly, it's BIG. Though I'm generally a bit wary about reusable sections, those in this product have sufficient - excellent - variety, yet a sensible "manufactured" standardisation such that this isn't a problem. There is a whole range of different sections - quarters, power plants, open spaces, shops, prison cells, docking bays, security/guard rooms... it just goes on. Whilst sections seem quite cramped, the corridors narrow and the layout squeezed in, I really like the feel: perfect for a cost-constrained civilisation trying to cram everything it needs into an affordable construct.

A lot of though has been put into what's needed on such a station and on making it easy to use. The end-to-end, circular layouts (there are three) split up into sections with a useful key showing just where each bit is located.

Downside: d20 OGL only and own universe only - perhaps a little bit too much influenced by the cyberpunk/organised crime milieu for a more generic product. A pity this hasn't got Traveller OGL stats, but this is definitely NOT enough of a gripe to reduce it from "Good" to anything lower.

Overall: If you need a deep space station, don't worry but just get this and use it as a template. Excellent.

0 hr: Lilly's Tavern
by Joe K. [Featured Reviewer] Date Added: 05/22/2010 20:23:00

Lilly's Tavern is composed of several different files. The bulk of the material is the 21 page PDF that details the inhabitants and the location itself. The current owner, Lilly, has a cozy relationship with a local gang of thugs and in itself, provides several encounter seeds in a few words. After all, it is hinted that Lilly's husband may have meet an untimely death at the hands of those thugs who now make themselves comfortable here and that Lilly was more than friendly with the leader. I can easily see that as a campaign seed where the players were friends of Enzo but never had any proof until recently.

The majority of the PDF though, is the various maps that make up not only the Tavern, but a curio shop next to it that has it's owner and purpose included. A good place for players to dump off their unwanted goods as well as pick up the odd piece here and there.

the additional files include a poster sized map of the tavern and another poster sized map that's text free.

I would have preferred to see more art and more details given to some more patrons and inhabitants of the bar, but for the price, the full color maps alone make it worth using. After all, with WoTC coming out with their own variant through a partner, it's been noted that it's highway robbery because you're not going to be in the same bar all the time. That's right! Sometimes you'll be in Lilly's Tavern.

Future Armada: Argos III
by lior s. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 02/09/2010 05:22:38

I bought this product a few hours before a new Starblazer campaign kicked off. The characters were due to limp in (faulty FTL drive) into a spaceport, where all sorts of trouble would land upon them. A bit late I realized that I could use a detailed space port, and was happy to find the Argos III. The product contains a few pdf's. The first one details the station, its different sectors, and interesting locations within. I especially liked the Transportation tubes system, and already staged a battle within them. As the characters were aboard one transportation sphere, it was hacked and stranded powerless and without gravitation, in the tubes. A bunch of goons with guns and steel crowbars came to "their rescue". The other pdf's contain detailed maps (and tactical maps for minis) which are also very useful. Finally the product also comes with great CG renderings of the station in all its glory, some eye candy for my players.

To sum: great product, saved my day.

0 hr: Sailing Ships
by Christopher H. [Featured Reviewer] Date Added: 02/04/2010 19:18:17

As a DM running a campaign based on a sailing ship, I was very excited to receive a review copy of these printable miniatures-scale sailing ship maps. I already have a miniatures-scale map for the PCs' ship, and I use ship tiles from other manufacturers (SkeletonKey Games and Wizards of the Coast), but this product adds depth and variety to my collection of ship maps and gives me quite a few more options than I had before.

The artwork on these maps is quite attractive. To be sure, the various stock element objects get reused quite a bit, but it doesn't really hamper the battlemap if all the coiled ropes are just iterations of a single rope object. I appreciated the attention given to lighting on these maps; the gradual darkening as stairs descend, for example, is a very nice touch. The maps do, however, have a very noticeable case of "the jaggies," especially evident on long curving lines like the ships' outer hulls. Other DMs might consider that a relatively minor thing, but I found the "jaggies" quite noticeable. More importantly, I do wish that publishers of ship tiles, including but by no means limited to Ki Ryn, would stop illustrating small launches right on the main decks or even suspended beside the main decks of ships, and would instead draw that space empty and provide a small boat map elsewhere that could be cut out and used separately. (I further wish that Ki Ryn had spelled "dinghy" correctly in this product.) It gets a bit annoying during a game to have to remind players, "No, that dinghy isn't really there; you pitched it overboard in round 2 of the fighting." I'd much rather be able to remove a dedicated tile stacked on top of the main tiles. A little launch map separate from the main map would also be useful when PCs themselves use such a vessel.

One great strength of this product, and its advantage over similar offerings from other publishers (as far as I know), is its versatility. SkeletonKey Games's High Seas Dragon Ship and High Seas Warship look great on the gaming table, for example, but it's hard to "shrink" those ships without compromising the layout. With the Zero Hour Sailing Ships, you can choose between a 100-foot ship, a 50-foot ship, and a 30-foot sailboat, with varying numbers of decks. I personally won't use the cannon variants in this product (at least, not in my current D&D campaign), but GMs running games where such weapons are appropriate will appreciate having that option. This variety sets Sailing Ships apart from any other product that I know about at this time. I also benefited from the writeups about each ship layout as well as the side view diagrams.

Finally, I should add that in addition to being system-neutral (as most maps are), this particular set is largely genre-neutral as well. There's nothing in the maps that requires a fantasy setting.

Future Armada: Lakota
by Jenette D. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 02/02/2010 16:44:02

Yet another outstanding ship from Ki Ryn Studios. This time we have the Lakota, a nice fast light vessel with enough room for a fighter or two and and some nice alternate configurations. (complete with alternate deck plans for them as well.)

Like usual several npc's are provided with unique and interesting histories as well as details of the Storm Crow light fighter and NIAGARA 2 Escape Pod.

All in all an excellent buy especially for the $4.95 price tag.

Future Armada: Vanguard Station
by Christopher B. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 02/02/2010 11:36:13

I don't normally gush about pdf downloads, but wow. This is the first Future Armada product I have purchased, but it won't be my last. I am always looking for good maps to for my RPG and miniature scenarios. This is great for sci fi.

B&W and color maps. Crew and backstory if you need it. External rendered drawings for props.

I was looking for a small underground lab for a post apoclyptic setting. This will work with minimal changes (don't need the escape pods and substitue elevator for 0g shaft).

Very satisfied.

Nice and sharp maps. The price is great also :) The maps have borders and can fit to whatever size paper you are using. This also enables the assembly very easy. I higly suggest these.
