Yeah, this is pretty good. A time saver.

I already use Campaign Cosmographer with the plugins, and some other planet fractal generators to do planets similar to this, but this is nice in that I can rig up planet, moon, display etc, pretty quick. The planets here are pretty cool for space opera flavor. Traveller gearheads will balk at some of the more garish colors of worlds like Greenhouse mostly green or variations of pink and purple. But overall, a solid product, the glowing reviews here for it are true. It's pretty cool, and gives tyou a nice planetary layout view from space template, much as the old Star wars d6 planetary guide did.

It's not a 20 sided die map of the surface, rather you get the look of a planet and some moons in a graphic display, from a database. Great for an overview to give the feeling of the Library data entry in some explorer's database. Definitely worth a look or buying.

I bought this for two reasons:

I am running a High Space campaign I am running an Edge of the Empire campaign

I wanted something to make good quality "reports" on planets they discover or go to. This does that very well.

Love it! Super great addition to my Sci Fi game! Its very easy to use to customize different systems and it isn't system specific. The only question I'd had was how to save a copy of the first one I'd completed- you just use the print to .pdf function and you're done. They even mention that in the video.

Absolutely fantastic product. It's gorgeous, easy to use and gives you a book-quality planetary map with data for any campaign. This product works with any sci-fi RPG, really, so I recommend it to everyone.

I love the idea of this, and it seems like a great execution EXCEPT I happen to run Linux and I have not been able to find a single tool pdf tool that will let me use this product as described. So far, I've tried a dozen, with results ranging from showing every single layer, to showing just the first layer, to not showing any layers at all.

From what I can tell, if you live in the Microsoft world, this would be a great little item. I live in hope that Linux will catch up soon.

This product is incredible! I run a space game and I always looking for resources. I have see a few good products from this company so I watch for them, and this is a great one. it has a beautifully illustrated page with a earthlike planet on a blue nebula background, plus a blank data-file area to track important info about the planet for the campaign. Simple enough.... EXCEPT you can change every aspect of the planet, there are dozen different planets, plus moons, about ten different nebula backgrounds, computer overlay images like beacons and scanner designs. enough to make every world in your game look different enough that your players will have instant visual identification and recollection when you pull out that sheet. The only downside that I see is it may be a little ink heavy on the printer, but for quality handouts like this, it's worth it. Technolich Approved! www.technolich.com

This is really rather fun to play with: and worth considering whatever star-faring SF game you play.

What you get is a VERY customisable 'log sheet' for the planets you create and visit in your game. It is mostly eye-candy, but the sort of eye-candy that helps your game come to life, helps the shared belief in your alternate reality that you seek to create around your game table.

By cunning use of the 'layers' options within PDF technology, you get to customise the display of a main world and up to five moons. You can also tweak the background. Then there is space to type in planetary details, or you can print out the sheet and write on it instead.

It comes with a fairly straightforward instruction sheet. The one thing they've omitted is to remind you to save each planet you create as a separate PDF (just use 'save as' and give the file a new name) or you will end up overwriting one design with another! They also make casual mention of saving a PDF without the extra layers, to make one that opens quicker (especially on mobile devices) but don't say how you do that.

It's really fun and I must close my copy now or no more reviews will get written today!
