A simple crossing rarely stays simple.

Hired as extra hands aboard a short-staffed merchant ship, the crew sets sail from the vibrant streets of Port Elis toward the ironbound docks of Port Riley. The pay is modest. The captain is capable. The sea, as always, has other plans.

Calder’s Crossing is a Crew Work adventure for Rum & Rogues, written for crews at Level 3 and designed to advance them to Level 4. It introduces ship-scale danger through situation rather than instruction—weather that demands action, silence at the horizon that raises questions, and an encounter that escalates because responsibility appears where no one assigned it.

This Crew Work:

• Teaches shipboard danger without requiring ship ownership

• Places full authority for naval engagement in the hands of the Quartermaster

• Allows escalation into boarding naturally, if the fiction supports it

• Concludes with consequence, reputation, and continuity instead of clean resolution

Arrival matters.
So does how you arrive.

Arrive intact. Be remembered for how you did it.

A forlorn banshee keens her death wail.

Federation & Foes Spaceships | Map Pack provides a collection of classic space-navy vessels and deep-space infrastructure designed for exploration-driven, diplomatic, and military science-fiction campaigns. These maps support stories centered on starship crews, interstellar politics, first contact, covert operations, and conflicts between rival powers.

The pack’s centerpiece is a Federation Disk Spaceship, a sleek multi-deck exploration vessel built for long-range missions and sustained crew operations. The Upper Deck includes the Bridge, Security, Crew Quarters, Teleporter, Science facilities, and Mess Hall, while the Lower Deck houses Engineering, Cargo areas, and a flexible Hangar Deck provided in both empty and fully populated configurations. Additional spaces such as Toppers Bar and exposed Gunwells support social scenes, crew downtime, and defensive engagements.

Opposing forces are represented by a powerful Imperial Battle Cruiser, mapped across its Head, Upper Body, and Lower Body sections. This ship is ideal for large-scale boarding actions, sabotage missions, or tense confrontations between competing interstellar governments.

A fast and aggressive Bird of Prey rounds out the fleet, featuring a Command Deck, Crew Deck, and a combined Diplomacy Deck and Shuttle Bay, allowing the same vessel to serve as a raider, scout, or uneasy negotiation platform.

The collection is anchored by a massive Deep Space Station, designed as a hub for trade, diplomacy, and regional control. A central Hub contains command and administrative spaces—including the Bridge, Captain’s Quarters, Reception, and Teleporter—while four fully developed quadrants (NE, SE, NW, SW) each include Main Deck, Upper Deck, and Sub-Deck layouts. This modular design supports station-wide emergencies, political intrigue, investigations, and extended multi-session play.

Whether your campaign follows disciplined starship crews, rival empires testing boundaries, or fragile alliances forged at the edge of known space, Federation & Foes Spaceships | Map Pack provides the environments needed to tell character-driven science-fiction stories among the stars.

This version comes with complete line-of-sight setup, with walls, doors, and windows already placed.
