Thanks for the tips on the OTU, everyone. I wanted to ask about star maps. The rules give good tips on how to plot them on hexes. It just occurred to me...
If you insist on the complexity you can add a plus # or minus # to the star to give a Z designation to the star with the plane of reference (the piece of...
T:2300 has a 3d map as does an old SPI SciFi RPG, Universe. SPI also had a regular boardgame called Stargate that used a 3d map - if I remember right, it used...
I think Traveller 2300 did a 3D map without hexes but with a Z-coordinate. But really, if you think about it, the current 2D map is intended to represent the...
... Sure lots, Cartesian, stacking hex grids, for two. This is not a new idea within the greater Traveller fan base. If you do a google search you should come...
The 2D map was a sacrifice to playability back in the 80's which is still pretty valid today. As you get deeper into Traveller you will find some others (as...
Agreed. A big reason for Traveller's 2d map is playability. When designing a game, trade-offs between accuracy and playability are big decisions. If too...
One could borrow ideas from topographic maps by representing systems below the "mean" as a "valley" and those high above the "mean" as "hills" or even...
Okay, I've been thinking a lot about my own Traveller universe. I'm not sure what it's going to be yet, but I'd like to write a brief history of it. It's...
Dude...don't do it...You will have zero time for anything else. My advice is that if you want to run Traveller in a non-standard Traveller enviroment, start...
I like that!!!! "In my Traveller Universe hyperspace is two-dimensional" Brilliant!!! I must have a camera handy when I tell them this. -Glenn [Non-text...
... 30 years ago I created my own TU from scratch (as you had to do then) and I scrapped the 8x10 subsector, going for a 15 parsec across hexagonal subsector,...
... That would be the Rule of Man, a.k.a. the 2nd Imperium or the Ramshackle Empire. Canon has already covered that. The GDW board game which kicks it off is...
Good point, the more that I think about it. I just don't want to have to go blow a ton of money just to get the canon history of the OTU. I would like to know...
Im kinda slogging through the same process at the present. Ironically I seem to have reached similar conclusions about Terra and Ancients. However my Terran...
It is rather neat - my "why didn't I think of that" jaw dropped. Fantastic! ... From: Glenn Ritchie To: Classic-Traveller@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday,...
Well, if ya get the CD from FarFuture, it's only about 30 bucks... ... From: revaddict To: Classic-Traveller@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008...
... I'm a history fan, and have written a series of histories of MTU. The task is only as big as you let it become. But before you write your history, you ...
A question from Brett, in the Hidden Claw CT game, got me thinking, and as I don't know the answer, I thought I'd seek the collective wisdom of you lot :) ...
I grew up in a town about 20 miles from a US Air Force base, we called them "basers" oft in a derogatory fashion... T ________________________________ From: Z...
Not much activity (none) in the group lately. Is this because everyone is too wrapped up in a campaign to sit down at their computers? I spend a month at a...
Were still here...just other stuff going on. There is some activity in CT-Starship and one of the MGT sites. This one also gets pretty active from time to...
