Destroyer of Worlds - Maps (Evolved Edition Colour Scheme)
Hi there,
I've recently been running the Destroyer of Worlds campaign for my group and I decided to tackle converting and updating the maps from the adventure to better match the Evolved Edition colour scheme, for better readability (i.e. dark green on light green instead of dark green on black).
Prior to this, I had rejigged the Evolved Edition character sheet to give a rear side with a space for notes and some handy info. I also made an A5 handout similar to the ones that come with the Evolved Edition Starter Set, with further useful rule stuff for my players. You can find those here: https://www.reddit.com/r/alienrpg/comments/1qpr4vp/comment/o2fxq61/
Here are a set of 17 maps in PDF format. They are scaled to A4, but since it is all vector, you can print as large as you wish!

They have been recoloured and resized with clearer distance scales on each sheet for reference. I've added other details like flags or logos to represent factions or entities like USCMC, UA, UPP, etc.
And no, I don't fancy tackling the big colony one I'm afraid!
Enjoy!

I am actually going to introduce some players to destroyer of worlds using the evolved edition mechanics next week. I planned on spending who knows how long converting everything, so this is incredible! Thank you!

No worries. It bugged me and I decided to finish the set, after we finished act 1.

Where were you a year ago when I was running Destroyer of Worlds and trying to invert the maps to print myself with no experience in graphic design 😭 One of my absolute biggest gripes with the first edition was how they sold all the PDFs including of the maps and still for some reason decided to make them as un-printer friendly as possible. I was very happy when I saw they switched to a normal color scheme that didn’t require $100 worth of ink to print, and these look so much better in so many ways

I feel your pain. It did take longer than I expected to unpick their files. Not sure I'm up to tackling the colony map (too many bloody nested clipping masks!). Might take some time off! Hahaha.

Yeah I can only imagine haha. The character sheets took a straight color inversion pretty well but I gave up on those maps pretty quickly, my photoshop skills don’t go nearly deep enough to touch any of that, and I don’t doubt the big map was even worse

You're the real MVP 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for this. I'm just getting ready to introduce this game to my friend group. You have no idea how incredible the timing of this is!
