Published Maps

[parmasson]

All this Proto-Traveller map making has me wondering, how much do we use published materials verses our own stuff?

Ok, how would i answer this if I used Published or web-based maps and then doctored them up a peg?

i usually start by UPP interpretation, then generating the system with Heaven and Earth and going from there. i try to encompass the System entire, rather than just the mainworld. I find it adds a certain dimension to it.

If you take a subsector generated by someone else and use the UPPs to have H&E make the system details to me that is using a published map. But it is your call. I am really talking about ground up original map making.

Ground up, original map making. I'm currently working on a domain using printed off pages of blank subsector, quadrant, sector and a domain maps from the flibrary. I'm using Gateway to Destiny as a guide on what to do, so I guess that means option 4 for me.

Your own domain sounds pretty ambitious. Have you posted any of your maps?
With my new campaign I have been generating subsectors as I need them. So far we have not needed to travel outside the subsector. I have been making my own UPPs and I think I will follow that example of the good Baron and reinstall H&E to do the grunt work of the rest of the system.
