Travellermap data file for Stellagama's Near Space?

SpaceBadger · Jul 3, 2019

Can any of y'all point me to a Travellermap sector data file based on Stellagama's Near Space maps for the Cepheus Engine?

I'm starting on Yet Another ATU (I've lost count over the years, but this will be #3 currently active, or #4 if you count my version of the OTU circa 1105-1115), and this one is a variant proto-Traveller something like Zozer's Orbital 2100 setting, plus 50-100 years of FTL star travel (still no gravitics) so I want to at least start from some resemblance to real space. I'll also be drawing on Higher Dimension's Stellar Winds setting for early interstellar tech, Niven-esque interstellar ramjets, before FTL discovery. (Huh, need to take another look at that, see what maps were included!)

Anyway, I found Travellermap's custom map-making ability invaluable in creating the setting for my SBRD campaign, so obviously i want to be able to do that again with the system data for this setting, so having the Near Space data in that file format would save me a lot of time in getting started.

What I do for MTU is use the Imperium map and correlated it to that real star name list, then gen planets off the Worldgen using stellar type.

May not be terribly accurate, but seriously looked into using either SPI StarForce or Universe 3-D maps, and it boiled down to just not worth the trouble for play value.

Imperium is a classic map designed especially for a Jump-1/2 milieu with interesting system travel/choke point sequences, your very own main (I call it the Centauri Main), and some challenging refueling with Sirius and/or generating systems with no gas giant. IMTU Barnard's Star has no GG so you HAVE to go to the planet.

Ya, I have StarForce, but IIRC those hexes are 1 light year each rather than 1 parsec, so yeah, some work to translate.

Near Space is a Cepheus Engine product (why I posted in this subforum) from Stellagama Games, available on DriveThruRPG for Pay-What-You-Want (meaning 99 cents if you're poor like me!). It presents a 2-D, parsec-hex map of space around our Solar System, 20x16 hexes, in four variants. So the conversion to 2-D and 1 parsec/hex is already done, for the area covered.

I'm just being slightly lazy and hoping that someone else has already done the work of making a Travellermap data file for it. If I have to make my own, I'll share it here; all of Near Space is stated to be Open Content per OGL.

Here you go, I've done two. One without the HSC stars and one with. Copy and paste into notepad and then hit the tab button 6 times at the end of the file (The code tags wont save them for some reason), They're in T5 SS tab-delimited format. They give out a few warnings when checked but no errors.

Wow! Thank you very much for sharing!

[And to think I almost missed your post bc I've been otherwise busy for a few days and it had "aged off" of the Today's Posts view that I usually browse the CotI forums from! :nonono: ]
