A while back Digest Group put out a more detailed world generation booklet for the traveller system--classic not Mega. I can't for the life of me remember the name of it.

Also did the World Tamers Handbook cover the same material or are the two very different?

Thanks in Advance,
Lord Iron Wolf

You are probably thinking of Grand Census and Grand Survey. They were two separate books and were for CT.

I believe they were then combined into the MegaTraveller World Builder's Handbook.

World Tamers has some of the info from World builders, mostly the physical data stuff, but it also includes lots of extra detail about climate and resources to support the whole colonization theme of the book. WTH also has a section on mass combat that gives it a secondary use for the wargame crowd.

Personally I tend to think of them and T4's Pocket Empires as complementary works which iluminate and enrich each other without any of them really suplanting the others from their particular niche. (World detailing by WBH, colonization via WTH, and empire building by way of PE.)
