I tried searching for the post that contained this same map before colorizing, but I can't find it.
I'm noticing that the picture is blurry. Sorry.
And I'm thinking this one won't have its own post:
It's that time again, where I take a bunch of the previously drawn maps and glue them into a magnetic sheet.
Some of these might end up being helpful during a game, some of them will be colored by my nieces, but most of them will decorate my fridge regardless. :)
Colorized version of Many-lakes [overland]:
I think my sister in law colorized this one while playing with my niece.
Original version was posted here: https://ttrpg.network/post/23251189
Actual plaster. Diluted.
I don't know if there are many types, but it's the one used to fill-in small details or to cover holes left by nails.
Kudos for mentioning Everyone is John.
And since I’m already typing a reply, I might as well link to another obscure RPG (that I haven’t played):

Out of the loop here. What are the recent scandals with Discord?
This is probably not what you’re looking for, but it reminded me of the fan-made Polybius scenario for Kult.
But even if its not what you need, it might be useful as inspiration:
Oh, and if you’re not familiar with the urban legend, give it a search on YouTube.
I'm seeing a lot of broken image fallback icons; mostly for community icons and banners, as well as thumbnails for images posted before the migration. Am I the only one experiencing this?
Campaign Cartographer 3+ is indeed only available for Windows. Though I must say that I have it working under WINE just fine. YMMV, ofc.
Glad I could help.
One more thing: The official forum is a place full of very nice and helpful people.
I do use it myself for SciFi (mostly for Traveller) and I like it. Of course, the number of available styles is not as overwhelming as the ones available for fantasy, but there are some good options.
One thing worth noting: for Sci-Fi you definitely want the highest tier, which includes Cosmographer and all the annuals.
The page for Cosmographer shows a few styles: https://www.profantasy.com/products/cos3_examples.asp
And here's a few deckplan exampless on a classic Traveller style: https://www.profantasy.com/products/cos3_deckplans.asp
As for the annuals, there's this post on the forum with a small screenshot/thumbnail for each issue in most annuals: https://forum.profantasy.com/discussion/10366/cartographers-annual-all-the-issues-linked-in-one-place
Finally, there's this Youtube Playlist with a few of the mapping sessions that focused on Sci-Fi styles: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrFvDl9qgYgsCVt58a41H3rcDjsAc4P4h
maps
That’s the main way it’s used, but there’s no limitation to use it in another way.
There are some styles suited for modern day maps. Or historical maps, such as the April issue of this annual:
https://www.profantasy.com/annual/2022/2022-cartographers-annual.asp
And with Cosmographer and a few annual issues included, there’s plenty of SciFi styles to choose.
They have a YouTube channel where they stream a mapmaking session, you get to see quite a few styles:
This is an almost-everything bundle. For those unaware, every month they release a style, tool or guide and the 12 months make up each Annual Volume.
This page showcases everything in the latest of the included annuals:

Feel free to ask if you want the opinion of a happy customer.
I assume board games are not an option? I’ve played Salem with probably 10 players and it’s quite fun. It will take much less than 6 hours though.
But I don’t want to leave just challenging the question without suggestions, so I’ll ramble on…
I’m thinking very quick character creation (if anything because I have players who are unable to take less than an hour doing so), perhaps something like Mothership or pretty much any PbtA. Or pregens.
Spotlight time will be an issue, so a something with very fast combat mechanics should be very important.
I’m pondering if it’s worth a shot trying something like Dread, but I’m not sure if 6 hours is too long for a game like Dread.
I’m curious: do the 12 of you (+GM) usually play all at the same time?
