Hey everyone! It has long long been requested that we start making sci-fi maps.

And well... that time is NOW!

This week we're launching Hyperdrive Fleet! Our new czepeku sci-fi maps project!

If you’re interested already you can sign up to be a patron here.

!! EDIT:

So our 40% off tier sold out in about 6 hours and we weren't really expecting that! Since then we've had a lot of messages and requests asking if we can make extra slots. 

So we've gone ahead and done just that! 

We love the idea that so many loyal long time czepeku patrons want to support our new project. So instead we've opened up the 30% and 40% off promo tiers until the end of the month with no limit on the amount of people who can join.

You can click here to join Hyperdrive Fleet and get up to 40% off for life!

Thank you everyone for your support!

We’ll be focusing on vehicles. After all, the coolest stuff in sci-fi is the vehicles. Sleek star racers, fierce imperial battlecruisers, chunky transport mechs, automated research drones, and more!

Hyperdrive Fleet exists to design the perfect ship for your party. Whether that’s a deep space explorer to see what’s out there on the edge of the universe or a dogfighter that you can pilot into the trenches of a giant alien warship.

So whether you’re travelling on world or off world we’re going to have the vessel in our fleet to get you there!

To make it super convenient for you all, we’ve set up this new Patreon to be a mirror of Czepeku Maps. The files will be packaged the same, using the same grid sizes and resolutions, the tiers are the same prices, the commercial licence is the same, we’ve made master posts in the same way and soon we’ll have a website and a new map ledger so that everything is as easy to find as it is here. And most importantly the same level of quality (and tons of variations) you’ve all come to expect from us!

We’ve heard over and over again that we've changed the course of your campaigns. So often you wanted to take your party one direction only for us to release a new map and suddenly you want to build a whole new arc around that instead. Our goal for Hyperdrive Fleet is to do the same again but for science-fiction.

Along with the usual variations we make we’ll also be releasing extras that can be used as handouts, such as schematics and monitor logs, so that way when you’re at the stardust garage you can offer your players a real selection of ship blueprints. Or show them what’s bleeping on the radar when the warning klaxons are blaring and lasers are flying by your windows.

Sci-fi is a hugely popular genre in books, films and tv but hasn’t yet reached the same level of popularity in RPGs. Especially when it comes to maps, it's never gotten the love it deserves. With Hyperdrive Fleet we hope that we can help you start a new sci-fi campaign and bridge that gap, whether that’s using Fifth Edition (like Dark Matter) or one of the many other sci-fi RPG systems out there. And we’ve done our 'research'.

Just like here at Czepeku Maps, Hyperdrive Fleet will be making VTT modules for Foundry and EncounterPlus. Ryan is in charge of our VTT content on both projects, so they’ll be the same great quality of the ones we provide here. We’ll also be using Moulinette to make importing them to Foundry even easier.

And every ship is going to be animated by Remi who is the genius behind all the beautifully animated maps we’ve got here at Czepeku. Expect burning thrusters, flashing warning lights, flickering consoles, glowing engines, parallaxing stars, spinning space debris, dangerous asteroid fields and more!

So without going on and on, please visit Hyperdrive Fleet! And of course let us know in the comments if you have any specific requests for the types of ships you’d like us to make!

<3 - Cze and Peku


P.S. Czepeku maps will be the same as ever. Hopefully you all love the fantasy maps we’re creating and we have no intentions of stopping!

Honestly kind of a bummer that it's a whole other patreon. I would like to get some of these maps for my friend to use for his campaign, but I can't afford to subscribe to both right now.

czepeku

I understand that, we just didn't want to annoy all the folks that come here specifically for fantasy maps by adding sci-fi into the mix after 3 years. Seemed like the clearer way to do things.

When will the content be available to look at? I got in the Space Cowboy deal but I don't have access to any maps (provided they are posted).

I understand, that's how I feel when you guys do the Eberron stuff, so it makes sense. Total waste of my time since I don't have any campaigns with lightning rails etc. I imagine others would be irritated at getting a few packs of scifi stuff they can't use.

I've never subbed to a Patreon faster, I actually do a lot of /creative thinking/ to incorporate your fantasy maps into my mech games, not anymore ♥

Alfredo Gallardo

Absolutely epic! So looking forward to the new content, becoming a patron asap

Sven Uckermann

Hope you will also do some "sailships in space" aka spelljammer ships ^^ but unfortunatly all the spots were taken up .. welp ^^

Unwated Arcana

Woke up. Saw this. Subbed.

czepeku

First posts are coming this week (maybe even today if we can) and then will be weekly from now on.

czepeku

Glad to hear it! What mech games do you play? Lancer? We're always on the look out for more RPGs to get references from.

czepeku

We've done some sailships here on czepeku. We'll do the more fantastical airships here like usual and put more hard sci-fi ships (like Star Wars, Firefly, that sort of thing) on Hyperdrive Fleet.

Real good news for me! I have a ton of sci-fi rpg and I’m glad you launch that new pattern! I love your work, I discover your maps through let’s role and I’m hurry to see your talent in sci-fi maps!

CrashGem

You and your collaborators have created content that absolutely defines this generation of tabletop RPGs. I could not do the work I do without your amazing maps, and now, the addition of Borough Bound just adds even more to the map toolbox. This is the next natural step, with more and more sci-fantasy, and official Spelljammer on the way. Impressive... Most impressive.

Tronikart

Yes! Lancer, not sure how I missed the Lancer book on that pic, I also GM Mothership from time to time and have been looking into Death in Space, so I've been needing some cool sci-fi maps for a while.

Do you think some of this will work with the new SpellJammer stuff coming out? I love sci-fi! :)

Kyle A. Berg

Awesome selection of TTRPG's. There are a few in there I'll have to look up. However, I noticed you don't have Deadlands: Lost Colony. I hope you have some space western variations in there, though.

czepeku

Thank you CrashGem, this is a very lovely message to read. Defining a generation of TTRPGs sounds like a lofty goal indeed!

czepeku

We're always on the lookout for more RPGs! We've got a few space westerns like Orbital Blues and we're big fans of Firefly. So definitely there'll be vibes like that. :)

czepeku

We're making a list of relevant RPGs here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ytfqwrzm1b6ZyM8D1yf8TTIpdtswh5NEUZGlpOiFSUI/edit#gid=0 If you want to include the Deadlands info that'd be great. :)
