Hi I'm looking to find some near Earth space maps of Star systems, Planets or even colonies to use with a "5 parsecs" RPG campaign. Does anyone have any suggestions? |

The SPI Starforce map is a good start. I think in Traveller 2300 there is a good near space map as well. I think you can still find the CHView program that let you fill in Jump routes and more members.nova.org/~sol/chview |

The Traveller 2300 is the best one I've ever seen. When the game was first released I built a 3D version with cardboard and string |

I remember there was an SPI hex map of stars within 20 ly. It proved useful for a space campaign. |

Would be nice to have a new one, including the planets discovered around the various stars. |

Thanks for the help. I had that 2300AD map back in the day and remember being awe inspired. Will go chase it down. |

2300AD had the most accurate star map at the time but the data is outdated now updated data
and implications for the game
can be found here:
link I found the 'subway' maps to be very helpful |

Scroll mid-way down for the interstellar maps…
link Or just straight to this 15ly map…

beat me to it..
Yep AR is the place.. If you haven't done so.. consider supporting Winch's work via patreon for the price of a cup of coffee a month.. One of the best bang for your buck feel goods you can get He really has been a laudable contributor to the hobby from when he was a teenager doing illos for Steve Jackson for Warp War and Ogre |

Atomic Rockets is at least as bad a rabbit hole as TVTropes! If your brain works in hard-scifi settings, anyway. |

Magnificent. I hope you have it above the fire place or similar display. |
