Star Wars Galaxy Map (7025x4967 resolution)

    After some time, a constant search and a bit of GIMP, I was finally able to put my fan hands on a good map of the Star Wars Galaxy. It seems to be one of the more accurate you can stumble upon. It have a very good resolution of 7025x4967, so it's quite suitable to be printed as a nice poster.

    Personally I'm going to make it into a big panel, which will be positioned between a cool Yoda poster and a complete and beautiful Middle Earth map.

    I really hope Disney will build an "official" Star Wars map, in the future, and that it will be sold as the ones of many other fiction settings are. For now, I'll just stick on this hand made one.

    As usual, may the Force bi with you.

    P.S.: Just click on the above thumbnail to reach the full-sized map, stored on GDrive. You'll be able to download the over 9mb JPG file from there.

Free Destiny Beta Keys for PS4

    So, I have a couple of free Beta Codes for the    (Europea code I think, not sure if they're valid worldwide).

    By the way, I'm shocked about how fast the game downloaded and installed on my system: 14GB in about half an hour. PS4 really knows it's job. Meh, if only the internet can always be fast like that...


    Anyway, here we go with the codes:

    1) 3EAA - 6NND - LJQ7

    2) J65Q - NJNA - 3AQA

    First to read, first to play ;) . Have fun and just add me to PSN if you like: LoneTear77 .

My first HangOut RPG experience!


    So yesterday evening I played an RPG for the first time using Hangout as a videochat. The game of choice has been PSI*RUN, a very interesting game which employ few strong mechanics and put more emphasis on the narrative aspect.

    The experience has been quite interesting and satisfying, even if I expected a better quality of the videochat service (I employ a powerful internet connection). Still, this tool seems a very strong choice for playing RPGs when you're unable to gather around a table with other guys.

    The game itself met my tastes very quickly, as it is very narrative and with a very low mathematic aspect: after years spent on the nastily numerical systems like d20 System or GURPS (even if I still consider GURPS a great game engine), I ended up liking narrative systems like FATE or The One Ring much, much more. The other players has been a very good company, too.

    I hope to be able to use this tool very soon to play some Star Wars- themed RPG. Pity my english is not that great, or I could play with foreign people without problems!

By the way, you can buy the italian version of the PSI*RUN game at this link: http://www.narrattiva.it/psirun
