Planet Builder is a zine packed with 43 random tables to pummel writer’s block and detail any area a sci-fi setting needs. Construct outposts, asteroids, moons, planets, and any area your story needs. Most tables contain 20 starting points that can work individually or be combined together. Roll a couple of dice and mix and match ideas. Or close your eyes, point randomly on the page, and blurb from there.
