In the past few months I have become increasingly enraptured with Traveller. I have been running the 1977 version of the game but I am using parts from other editions and even turned to Traveller5 and a few of the GDW wargames to supplement the three little black books. This has led to the creation of a few subsectors that I am hoping to turn into a full blown setting for people to run, take from, and mix into their own games.
The Many Armed Serpent Called Frontier is going to be a project where I try to flesh out an entire sector for play. I think that a good Traveller sector needs the following:
- An overview of the major factions complete with goals, resources, etc.
- Write ups for each generated planet.
- A list of patrons broken down by sector, subsector, and planet.
- A complete rumor table per subesctor.
- Encounter tables with added miens.
- A few patron adventures to get things started.
This project will be hosted here on my blog and will be compiled into .md files and possibly a PDF sometime in the future. It's a living project so this space will get updated with more planets, patrons, and so on as I finish them.
