Starships Geomorph book now available

[Beerfume]

Woo hoo! I've finally completed the Starships Geomorph book. It's available as a free PDF from my blog here: Starship Geomorphs PDF

I hope some of you find this useful. As always, comments and constructive criticism are always welcome.

Hey - I still play with Lego!

Fantastic resource - I'll spend more time looking it over, but as you point out, the uses go far beyond just creating a starship.

Many thanks!

Yea, this is pretty extraordinary.

The plans themselves are fantastic, but I really like the interstitial artwork you have.

Holy cow, such an amazing piece of work. Thank you so much for sharing!

I have to endorse this one. Even if you never layout a deckplan with the geomorphs there's bucket loads of inspirational stuff in this book.

Incredible.


And as you note in the book, eminently suitable to use for orbitals and small ground facilities.

Wow, stupendous resource: thanks so much!

Robert, this is great work, and obviously a labor of love.

Okay if I post about this on Reddit?

Great work, far exceeds some of the professional work being done. You should get a license and make some beer money. Can’t wait for a volume 2

That would be fine. Thanks!

Ha ha... yeah, let me get right to work on that!

 

[JimMarn]

Excellent ! Thanks for all the hard work.

Anyone have recommendations for simple software tools to cut and paste these into our creations? Would just need a way to manipulate images around the page. My graphics skills aint what they were 20 years ago.

You could probably go a long way just viewing the pages and doing screen grabs.

Not as nice as the originals, perhaps, but certainly suitable for home adventure works.

It's terrific.

It really depends on the tools at hand. Assuming you are using a PC, you can use the Windows snipping tool to clip out the geomorphs you want. Try to clip them right down the middle of the wall for cleaner connections when assembling. In most word processing documents you can add images, rotate, and scale them. In Microsoft Word you need to go Insert > Picture for each image. Then right click on each image and set Wrap Text to something like Through, Behind Text, or In Front of Text so they can be moved freely.

As Whartung said, it won't be as clean as the originals, but it might get you started and it's quicker than learning Photoshop. Good luck!

Wow, that's fantastic! So much better than T4's Naval Architect's book (which is the closest thing I own). Thanks so much for sharing your hard work!

Astounding, beautiful work! o:
Thank you for all the intensive labour that undoubtedly went into this.
The utility of this pdf is virtually limitless, and a worthy addition to anyone's Traveller (or other spacey RPG) collection.
Thumbs way up.
