Need somewhere to send your PCs on their next mission? Try one of these:

Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go?

Here is a groovy game room, if you like '70s-era sci-fi (just replace control panels with tablet computers loaded with gaming apps and custom '70s-style display themes):

If you had to pick one? Which? I think I'd go with Figi in the modern day. However if it was to visit one at the hieght of its worst time to vist, it would be the crocadile island but I would stay out of the swamp.

Snake island and the island off Venice are the scariest for me.

BTW did you see about that guy that turned his condo into a STar Trek set in England? He has to dismantle it because his wife is divorcing him and she owns the condo.
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

Like the decor, but thinking maybe more steampunk for me. Would be a great room for an SF game.

That room was the "Opsroom" for Project Cybersyn, to centralize the economy in communist Chile. It started in 1971, and was dismantled in '73 during a military coup. It was not an attempt to look futuristic, but it does look like something out of Star Trek or Space 1999. I just love the look of it.

Wow the person that shows up on Antiques Road show with one of these chairs is so getting on TV Though I would speculate that at appraisal would be in the 6,000 to 12,000 range though if the bidding public had a little bit of knowledge about this project that the final auction price would much higher.

Whats funny is the designers claimed they were not inspired by science fiction and yet its so evident that they drank deeply from the sci fi cool-ade dispenser.

You see something like this and you just have to say, "Damn, those socialist sure could be fun."

I found another trippy setup for late-60s to mid-70s sci-fi (it almost alien in design):


You can more images of that room here, and find more images of other rooms/decor like it here.

I like the spherical house as an example of vrusk architecture.

Malcadon's picture looks like something a dralasite designed.
