So here's a challenge... can anyone identify the adventure I'm running this week from the map I've just copied... not a lot to go on yet, because the adventurers aren't inside they only know what the walls look like... (full disclosure, huge as this mat is, I've still had to trim 5' from each end of the building.)

What rumors does my group hear around the space station?

(They are at Space Venice, outside Imperial space.)

Ok. I’ve finally narrowed it down from 15 to 7 to 4 and now to 2. The goal is to figure it out today and spend next week making a scenario. Then the characters and handouts.

A bit of night-before GM prep. Last session we kicked off a new small quest, but the setup and options didn't seem clear to the players. So, rewinding a bit to make the "briefing" from the patron clear. The goal: recover an ancient sarcophagus of stone and petrified bramble wood from a great merchant's manse via the connected undercity.

@commodore @rdonoghue I started a conversation about and on @rpg (Lemmy Community) a little while ago:

You can see some other GMs talk about how they're using it as well

It’s much harder to write up scenes than I thought. Okay, partly I’ve been busy. But also, I’m not actually certain how this first mission is going to go.

I guess I really should roll up the stats for my blackmailer.

And of course the first mission is high difficulty low reward.

This is what happens when I’m not limited to 500 characters.

Wrote up the gear the crew of the Brave Nightingale stocked in the ship’s locker.

Blinkerton Jones, a technician working at the Galegia starport is being blackmailed. I know who is blackmailing her, why, and what they want. But I don’t know what they have on her.

Any ideas?

Still figuring out crew gear details.

Pilot Della, Lt Commander Dolphin Khanate Navy, retired, gets a free weapon upon mustering out.

Since she’s only got Fighter 0 (Battle Dress 2), I figure only a pistol or cutlass makes sense. So I’m giving her a laser pistol.

I need suggestions for NPC names in the far future. I’m making a big list to roll on as new characters are encountered. A variety of genders and cultures are appreciated. And blending cultures is great.

I’m generating 52 news stories for my sector, and it’s been good at forcing me to develop individual planets. I will barely scratch the total number of planets, but I’ll at least have a little better idea of what’s out there, and a sample from each faction.

To generate ideas I’ve been using the “event theme” chart in Black Sword Hack (The Dark Gods' Oracle, page 98) and the TNS generator on Freelance Traveller. Could use another news Oracle.

Traveller News Service is now operational.

Loads as many sector UWPs as I want.
Reads messages from a file.
Tells me when each article reached target system.

So if the game starts on 001-1105, last two articles haven’t arrived yet.

Traveller News Service Utility

Added adjacent sector math.
Added chance to reach off route maps.

Need to add XBoat routes.
Need to save state to database.

But now I can see it takes 70 days for news of the Fifth Frontier War to reach the Foreven sector.
But it takes 98 days to reach a non-Zhodani world.
It takes 105 days to reach an non-aligned world.

I may be just a little crazy.

Prototyping my Traveller News Service distribution utility. Very barebones so far.

Need to add:

Static trade routes (connections that will span larger distances).
Store message history in database.
Chance for distribution to off route worlds.
Neighboring sectors.

But pretty good for a couple hours hacking.
