Least Played in Subsector in the SM

[Dragoner]

I just use the foreven off travellermap.com.

I created my own Foreven, incorporating a break-up & civil war in Die Weltbund from The Beyond, 'way before the dot-map came out.

None of this Avalar Consulate nonsense for me!

I think the only two subsectors I've never rolled dice in would be Querion and Cronor. Lanth, Trin's Veil, Five Sisters, and Vilis are neglected but visited. The rest have all seen decent play time.

 

[beeber]

for my old group, Querion was the least visited. actually i can't recall them ever going there, even once

Jewell always seem to get the miss back in the day. Astrographically out of range for J-2 ships IIRC (unless you approach from Arden, but those guys are jerks) we let the Navy and the Zhos stare each other down over particle acclerators and headed to easier pickings...

...Vilis are neglected but visited.

Hey, stop past Tavonni and I'll shout you a Scout Brew. The view from the restaurant at Hotel-at-the-Edge-of-the-World is not bad too...

The only sector I have ever used is the Spinward Marches, don't know why you would need anything else. A whole lifetime of play opportunities in that sector alone. I don't see anything in any of the others that betters the Spinward Marches.

The only other one I might consider is the Solomani Rim is I wanted to do something about Earth but I haven't so I don't. In fact I don't actually like to think of Earth in Traveller at all really for some reason - probably because the rest of the places available are so much more interesting.

my vote goes to Lunion - absolutely nothing of interest except a bunch of corp worlds.

Oddly enough, Lunion is the section I like the most as GM simply because it offers the following:

Conditions ripe for Piracy
a backwater region that is RIGHT adjacent to the Sword worlds, which, in the event of a fifth Frontier War, would be ideal for expansion by the Sword Worlders. What surprises me is the fact that the Fifth Frontier War boardgame concentrates only on the areas nearer to the Zhodani worlds, but fails to include those that one of the chief belligerants has as its immediate area of operations. That is like World War II games ignoring the Balkins and Greece as a theater of operations because the bulk of the battles concentrated in the Atlantic from the American's point of view. That doesn't negate the fact that there were battles and armies of occupation in the "lesser theaters".

So, for me? Lunion pre-fifth Frontier War is of interest, and POST fifth Frontier War is of interest. At one point, I even took the time to create statistics on Ianic, as it was central for my upcoming Piracy campaign. Why? Because Ianic is situated between Lunion and Addabbeci - two major trading powerhouses in the region. It has little in the way of surface water, which means that for a world that is trying to avoid having its water stripped away as starship fuel, ships MUST go to the gas giant to get their fuel.

At one point, purely as an exercise - I created the Ianic Refueling Corporation, determined how many space ship were required to go gas giant diving, and bring their contents to Ianic for sale to ships that wanted the fuel. As fate would have it, the ships could not operate on an economic level if they sold unrefined fuel. As a consequence, IRC could only afford to sell refined fuel. Starship captains who wanted unrefined fuel, could spend the days on their own to get their fuel free of charge, or they could pay the refined fuel costs on a first come first serve basis.

In all? I rather enjoyed working with Lunion. Truth be told, I will bring it back into play the next time I run a traveller campaign. It has too many enjoyable plot element capabilities for me to ignore.

There's a lot of truth in that. It's all we've ever played, as well. Of course, until recently, once you're off the Marches you're sort of left to your own devices.

At the same time, I have the itch to see more done with the map, both inside Charted Space and outside. I hope the Deneb book does justice to Traveller.
