Very cool content. Thanks for sharing and recommending.
Awkward Turtle is cranking out some interesting product. Part of its greatness is in its simplicity.
I agree! I have one more of their products to feature, but that will come later... need to keep to the plan/schedule!! 😁
Another fantastic video! Thanks so much for highlighting my weird little generators!
You are most welcome!! 😁
@@IthaquasBane I love getting to see something created using my generators get realized in a rendered map or physical tiles. Super fun.
@@dontpanic3688 I think I have one more of your products to cover. I have something planned for it, but a lot of prep work still to finish off first 😉
Haha, nice pad from Esslingen ;-)
😉
A couple of things I would modify: 1) There's no command/control area, like a bridge or data access center or the like. I would add that. 2) This also applies to Wallet Dungeons. Fives could be stairs or an elevator shaft or other access to another level of the structure.
Well spotted!! For a space located location I would add or maybe include when I have duplicates.
I had a go at working out the additional features to this ice facility.
If I worked this out correctly then all the equipment is brand new, top of range and in pristine conditions, however the place picked for this facility was not thought out or just a tad bit rushed in construction as there is crumbling powdered snow piles in some rooms, some dampness due to melting ice, and one flooded room. Some nice passive environmental obstacles to overcome. 😊👍
And I rolled up the 2 extra for your Auto Factory so its Boon, Nothing, and Obstacle. 😊
Lovely job! Sounds like a wonderful place to work hahaha 😂
A space station or -ship could have an area where the atmosphere is low or non-existent. Any base can also have an area where the air is toxic, especially places like hydrophonics or the bioprocessing area (euphemism for waste control, ie the sewer system).
To be honest those are great tools behind their (obvious) simplicity. Either to do a quick and dirty place out of the box (in my time numerous players asked me to improvise a story and gosh this tool would be ultrawelcome, my mind is entering sparkling mode only by seeing the dice making a shape), or simply to layout a good base and rework. It gives that little dice flavour and you can expand it. Mean the format is telling. Wallet. you don't expect it to be your Space Hulk box.
That little placeholder you did... Absolutely grandiose, if I may say (it shows partially my second point : expand on what the simplicity gave us).
Very interesting!
That can work fine in combination with my own Solo Space RPG that I am making for the last two months. (Hopefully I will finish it soon).
I bet you would make the rooms and encounters/obstacles a lot more easily if you had a theme for your game session in mind, before you start making the station/dungeon.
Overall very useful tool.
This is definitely a tool to use with a plan in mind or when the players spring their typical "not following the plan" behaviour!
Good tools if you lack the creativity or time to make a building, though it WILL lack that flare you get when building your own, and can have weird results, like not having the neccessities covered such as living quarters, food distribution, waste processing or medical facilities.
Also nothing about defences.
Don't think all that will fit on a business card!! If living quarters and defenses are needed, you could always replace something less critical that comes up. I also believe that it is not something for careful planning and designing for your campaign. More for a tool when you need something quickly generated when your players decide to do their usual unscripted and unprepared for travels!! 🤣 Many thanks for watching
@@IthaquasBane It would fit on a business card since it already does, what I'm saying is that your rolls may not contain them, and tbh if you need to spend time to replace stuff on your quickly generated space dungeon because it's not making sense then it failed it's purpose.
But I do understand these are supposed to be an in-a-pinch tools for emergency encounter creation, in case of not being able to improv.
@@kovi567 Precisely. The goal of these little cards is either a super fast, on the spot location to fill a gap. Or to be used as a spark to help you get started on developing a more fleshed out, detailed location.
People have sent me some very very cool dungeons they've created by using what Wallet Dungeons generates as a base, then tweaking, expanding, and fleshing out into a full location.
I will take some of the blame for Wallet Stations needing more tweaking out of the box, but it was something I struggled with a bit while writing. Fundamentally Space Stations have significantly more assumed internal logic than something like an ancient dungeon, so it's harder to get a fully randomized process to make something that feels coherent.
Check out Gozr full of different tables, a great osr inspired by rock music, I'm pretty sure you could use this with that game
Thanks for the recommendation, will check it out!!
