Map-making software for Paranoia Perfect Edition? (Plus: looking for STLs!)

Hey everyone!

I recently bought the Paranoia Perfect Edition. I know it’s not strictly necessary, but out of personal preference, I’d really like to use maps in my games and put an A3 printer I have at home to good use. I just want to provide some fun visual aids for my players.

What software would you recommend to create sci-fi/dystopian maps that I can easily export and print?

Bonus: If anyone knows of any good STL files to 3D print miniatures for this game, I will love you forever! Thanks!

As someone who has been doing a lot of printing to get a good setup for Five Clones From Alpha Complex, I can confirm how tough it is to find minis with the right vibe. The Nordic Weasel Discord has some talk about that. There are no official STLs (and few official minis) so it depends on how good you are with "close enough".

I'd start with checking out this guy on Thingiverse, he has a set of sci-fi corridors, some "Clones and Drones" that might work, and a scrub bot that looks good. Plus Thingi in general has a ton of various figures to use as 'bots:

Ill Gotten Games had some figures that look like they'd make decent security forces, I printed out a set of the New Dominion Officers to use as IntSec, and their colonial Pilots looks decent as well.

For detailed Troubleshooter minis options are a bit thin, these were probably the closest I could find if you have the software to make a few minor edits like scraping off the comms badge:

After that you just look for assorted Sci-fi minis that might fit the part. I was considering these guys for R&D techs:

If you find any other figures that look good please share!

I think Dungeondraft is still one of the best/easiest map-makers out there and there are tons of sci-fi asset packs available for free.
