Good Evening all, Im new here, having played Traveller for years in the cannon settings, i have decided to go out on a tangent and create my own sector and campaign setting!

We are located below the Amderstun Sector, and have been cut off from the Empire for 100 years - that was when the last X-Boat was recorded.
anyway im using CT coz i think it is the best and because the LBB's are the best!!!
so Hello and thanks for letting me join this community

Welcome!

I would be interested in seeing your sector, I have two sectors in the file library, Theta Borealis and Astron.

Personally, I'd love to see your homebrewed sector. :)

PS: See PM note.
 
Is there a prescribed form i need to follow? and where do i post? also where can i find a timeline so i can slot in with the cannon history? also a silly question - with rift and sparce sectors, how does travel work? is it asumed there is some star or likewise in subsectors that dont contain worlds, but can be skimmed for refuel?

Edit also, i havnt found a sector mapping app! is there any where on the interweb i can correlate all my subsectors into a sector map?

travellermap.com has a post feature:

http://www.travellermap.com/post.htm

Where if you made a text file and uploaded from your computer, it will make a pdf or bitmap picture, that is what I did. If you down load the data file as a text, you can see the example, same as if you dowloaded one of my sectors from the file library, you can see the format.

Okay it must not be reading my text file correctly, or im a complete nonse!!!
a subsector for dummies maybe in need lolz

Note the format it wants, this my astron sector, which then makes a pdf (attached):

okay so most of the data i have understood, but what of the second column? after the uwp?
is there some thing im missing from LBB 3?
 
After uwp it is trade codes, then pbg which is from scouts book 6 and you can just put zeros in, then allegiance and stellar type, another book 6 thing you can leave out I think, play around with it, it is a cool feature of travellermap.com, I did until I got the hang of it.

edit: the g in pbg is gas giants, pbg stands for population modifier, asteroid belts and gas giants, if gas giant is zero it won't show up on the map, so if you have one, just put a one in.
 
Last edited:
I looked at book 6 still peicing together a word flow chart for that one, even tho it is simple the way it is written is a bit hard to follow sometimes! Also how do you assign pirates, research, and consulate? The map gen I use has the keys for them but do you think i can find a table to roll on!
 
Honestly, I assign them where I think they should be, to make a coherent story behind the sector, I have made four for my campaign: Theta Borealis, Astron, Theron and Fulani; for which I have a lot of notes. There is a program called heaven and earth which you can use to fluff out the systems, it rolls them up and maps them after you enter the uwp. Also in regards to the pbg, both the spinward marches campaign and the solomani alien module have some description of how they work.

Also, http://www.travellermap.com/ has information in the formats part, as well as having the post feature and other stuff, it is a great resource.
 
Okay just so i understand the format here is the first system from subsector F

S'Nebro III 0107 X859345-4 SG Lo Lt F5V 304 na

3 planets, third is named in H zone, 1 Lg Gas Giant, 3 Sm Gas Giants

so would that be the correct format for entering into travellermap?

The beginning of the document has then lines where the application is reading info for the code:

S'Nebro III 0107 X859345-4 SG Lo Lt F5V 304 na

S'Nebro III 0107 X859345-4 SG Lo Lt F5V 304 na

translated becomes:

Code: 
S'Nebro III             0107  X859345-4 S Lo Lt     304 na F5V

Like this EXCEPT, you should download or copy a text document, like mine I posted and then enter your information, paying attention to the lines where everything is like this.

Once you get the hang of it, it isn't so bad. edit: I had to pull that G so it would show the scout base.

Sample Subsector which travellermap saves as a .bmp and I changed to a .jpg:

Samplesubsector.jpg
 
WOO HOO!!! i have some players!!! - i am going to let them generate their own homeworld and will insert it into the core subsectors, so once those are finalised, i will post up the sector.
im also including the MgT Background Skills, so the players are a bit more rounded so the first chargen session is in a few weeks!

We are located below the Amderstun Sector, and have been cut off from the Empire for 100 years - that was when the last X-Boat was recorded.
anyway im using CT coz i think it is the best and because the LBB's are the best!!!

Oh, so your not using CT by itself, but a fusion of CT and Mgt. Also cool! Are you using anything from the other editions as well?
 
I wouldn't say fusion, just think that 18 with no skills is lame, as for any other additions only 3 that is Cleric, Athlete, Star Cop from Dragon magazine
 
Good to hear you got something started. I emailed you back, though I don't know if you received it or not.
