- RR_Ref_combat: 2-page combat reference sheet
Assembly: Print the images and glue/tape them inside and outside a stiff folder to create a handy GM screen. The artwork goes toward the players and the charts toward the GM. You can hide props, notes, and die rolls behind it.
The Stars
Constellations: Use these charts to plan adventures around specific star systems.
Star Distances: Estimate travel time between systems. There are three ways to do it. The spreadsheets were made by an astrophysicist who was too humble to allow his name to be used here.
