In the face of the tragedy, neighboring Kuzu and Shukkikat clans have pledged aid, eager to be owed favors from the militant Churr. The influential Pektel clan released a statement expressing sympathy, but has yet to commit to assistance.

Regardless of the outcome, the scandal has left a mark on d’Eingorn’s legacy and the opera community as a whole. As the details of the accusations continue to emerge, it remains to be seen how the situation will be resolved and what the future holds for the ‘Dolphin Baroness of Opera’. Authorities have not yet determined if charges will be brought against her.

While d’Eingorn has not publicly commented on the accusations, her retirement from the stage seems to be a clear indication that the allegations have had an impact on her career. The singer has been a fixture in the opera world for over three decades, earning accolades for her performances and contributions to the art form.

According to sources close to the situation, several former associates of d’Eingorn have come forward with allegations that she misused funds and made questionable financial decisions while managing her opera company. The sources claim that d’Eingorn used her position of power to direct funds towards her own personal projects and investments, often at the expense of her artists and staff.

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.

#TTRPG #Traveller #TravellerNewsService #TNS #ClassicTraveller #Traveller5 #GMPrep #Foreven

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.

News of the find has attracted freelance surveyors to the system to search for other potential sites, but a comprehensive search of the belt will take many years to complete.

Dr. Kara Eridanus, Dean of Xenoarcheology Studies at the Mnemosyne University of Eterra/Mnemosyne (Far Frontiers 3033), has been called in to oversee excavation of the site. “This is the sort of discovery that comes along once in a lifetime, and I'm honored to be leading the team that's working on it. We've already received inquiries from researchers all over the sector who are interested in collaborating with us on this project.”

015-1104 Lyenner/Uarnuan (Foreven 0236)

Ruins from an unknown civilization discovered in Lyenner belt. Hiver titanium miners made the discovery during a routine excavation on a new asteroid. Preliminarily examination reveals the artifacts date from before Humaniti arrived in the sector.

Something mysterious happened in Lyenner, a modest, low tech, Hiver asteroid colony.

Interesting enough to be reported by the Traveller News Service, but mysterious enough to be unresolved if PCs want to investigate a year later.

Any ideas?

I will say good editorial practice is keeping my news snippets under 500 characters.

No need to bore the players with wordy articles. Just the highlights.

There’s a million dungeon generators out there, but what I really need is an interstellar news generator.

#TTRPG #Traveller #TravellerRPG #TravellerNewsService #ClassicTraveller #Traveller5 #GMPrep

Been reading the Traveller Adventure to find ideas for future games. Buried in chapter 17 there’s a procedure for determining how long it takes for messages to get around.

It’s very neat, but probably way too time consuming for more than a few messages. I’m tempted to automate it. But that’s probably crazy talk. It would be neat to have a way to know exactly when news gets to them. Of course, I’d need to invent news alerts a lot.
