Floorplans/maps for mini games. originally for the old prepainted Star Wars game but good for any science fiction game. Bit pricey at $45 for 10 printed maps, but probably comparable to getting them printed yourself.






I am a map maker, gamer, and Star Wars fan. I am NOT a graphic designer. I am CERTAINLY not a writer. I will be brief.

These maps started out as a hobby, a way for me to beef up my environments for Star Wars Miniatures. I began to share them online and they caught on with people.

Somebody suggested I get everyone to pitch in and print op some of them for my online friends. I did that in 2008. I thought it was a lark. It blew up into an actual job. It moved beyond just Star Wars, and our maps have become a staple for sci fi miniature and RPG gamers around the world. I found a business partner, a real life graphic designer, and we made beautiful maps together. We had websites, exclusive contracts with retailers, and my mom said she was proud of me. It’s hard to believe people from around the world a pushing their little space men around on our maps!!! How crazy is that??

10 years and 50 maps later, we are extremely honored to celebrate 10 years of the Adventurers Atlas.

To celebrate, we have created 4 new maps, paired them with 4 of our favorite maps from back in the day, and added 2 never-before released maps that are sure to please. We are also going to open up our entire catalog for digital download.

Take a look at what pledge options we have. Let me know if you have a special pledge request, and I will DO MY BEST to work with you!

Pictured below are some of the maps to be released. New Maps Not yet pictured: Knight’s Outpost, Lunar Module Alpha, Beached Starship, and Swamp Outpost.

Thank you to EVERYONE for helping me keep the lights on in my apartment.

Could'a sworn these were Christopher West designs.

That's kinda what I though, too. I have some of his.

No, Matt Francella was (I think) 'jedicartographer'... He was producing these around about the same time as Christopher West was making his.

Fairly sure I have a bunch of these, although I lost track towards the end of SWM's run, because there were just so many 3rd party maps floating around by then.

I bought a bunch of the 'Cartographer's Guild' compilations at a Miniature Market sale years ago. I know I have that Mustafar map there, and probably a few of the others.
