A Short Index into the Traveller5 Core Rules

[robject]

I wanted an alphabetical index to the contents by broad categories. Perhaps some of you can suggest improvements.


page number(s) - subject matter



One thing I see is that there are a LOT of GREAT single-page table references. While most of them are in and around the Benchmarks section, there are nearly as many scattered around the book. I think a little consolidation would be good.


I've marked them in purple.

Cool!

Can I get an offline version? I like the purple color coding.

 

[ThornPlutonius]

For offline use

Can I get an offline version? I like the purple color coding.

I just selected it, copied it and then pasted it into a (Mac OS's) TextEdit rtf file and an Open Office 4 text editor file. The purple color text was preserved in both. You should be able to do the same with any other modern non-plain-text-only editor.

 

[Magnus von Thornwood]

Yeah, well, Steve boned me.

I just selected it, copied it and then pasted it into a (Mac OS's) TextEdit rtf file and an Open Office 4 text editor file. The purple color text was preserved in both. You should be able to do the same with any other modern non-plain-text-only editor.

Unfortunately, I have an iPad (and an ancient one at that) and it doesn't preserve the color in my RTF app.

 

[GypsyComet]

Does RTF even do color?

 

[Magnus von Thornwood]

Duh!

Does RTF even do color?

Color, bold, italics, even underlining. Or, TextEdit does, but not what I have available on my mobile device of crap.

I've attached a PDF to my "Helpful T5 Stuff" page.

Any index is appreciated. Good work!

You are sticking to the terminology, but you might want to add a few courtesy keywords. For example, people might look for Animals but all that discussion is in the BeastMaker section. Or write as "Animals, see BeastMaker". And maybe they'll also be looking for science-fiction trappings like Cyborgs. Maybe toss in some keywords from the Classic Traveller index: Mustering Out (as Benefits?), Alexander Jamison, Encounters, Starship or Jump Malfunctions, Trade Customs, Software Lists, etc. Old players will have reflexes to look up such things but the T5 terms don't quite match.

Also for some reason the sub-index entry "- Fame" is at the end of the list for Character Generation rather than in its alphabetical place.
