For all of those of You who wanted to make a small dotmap of a sector, just like the dotmaps of the dotmap version of the space atlas.

You can now do it with the new webbased dotmap generator.

New to Traveller

January 18th, 2005 by Expatriate

Hello, my gaming group and I have been looking for something different from the fantasy genre. I am currently re-reading the Honor Harrington Series and thought I’d like to run a Sci Fi game, and while in a game store I stumbled upon the Far Future Enterprises’ version of Classic Traveller and thought that would be something different. Most of us have experienced Traveller before, but probably not for nearly 20 years.

I am creating a campaign in my own universe for a few reasons. My original idea was to have something similar to Babylon 5, in the fact that the planet the players will be based on is where the Major races have all come together, thus allowing players to have access to playing aliens as well as humans. This I feel will create many story lines for me.

I am also contemplating revamping the psionic rules to allow players access to abilites I felt were missing.

As for aliens themselves I have thought about creating my own, since I don’t want players playing races that are ‘too’ alien, making them hard to play, as I’ve seen happen in games I’ve been involved in, in the past. I have thought of making anthropomorphic-type aliens so my players can better relate to their characters.

I found this website and have really valued it’s usefullness and wanted to thank-you. Since I am new to running Traveller, I was wondering if anyone could give me any useful advice, or if any of my ideas above will not work well. I am in the beginning stages of creating my campaign so the above is easily changeable.

thank-you,

Alien Module 9 - Vegans

Marhaban, Bwap (Newt) Homeworld

March 4th, 2004 by BeRKA

In T4 (Aliens Archive), Marhaban is located in Old Expanses Sector.
In GT (Alien Races 4), Marhaban is located in Empty Quarter Sector.
There is also a Marhaban at 3033 in Lishun Sector.

I vote for Empty Quarter. That matches my map.

Artwork

January 16th, 2004 by paganize

I’m trying to fill in some of the gaps on traveller artwork.
I’m not a artist; I’m heavily trained in CAD, and dabble enough to be considered a “professional” with CGI software.
My first mission in this quest is to figure out what the #$^&* Zhodani ground vehicles look like. I don’t have any of the GURPS stuff, I stopped buying Traveller stuff at “Pocket Empires”. The only thing I have to go on is CT Alien Module 4, which seems to have a very boxy tracked APC, and the MT: Referee’s Companion, which seems to be showing a atmospheric craft which is very different from what people seem to describe Zho craft as.
Help? your sketches? Art? whatever? I’ll give you full credit as original designer…
Initial work (which right now is just the type S) is up at my website. I would be happy to do a custom render for anyone who asks.
I’ve got Zho small weapons, Armor wired, should be finishing up the BattleDress within a couple of days.
