#TRAVELLER RPG CALCULATE GRAVITY SERIES#
Starport was actually NOT from DriveThru RPG, but from a series of articles from Freelance Traveller called “Finding your way around the starport“, by Benedikt Schwarz, which provides not only a great map but excellent write-ups of the facility over a series of issues.
The maps Bob mentioned in the show: Space Cantina and Starport. Ron Stepp has started a FB page called Traveller Gaming in the Future. Darkest Stars #2 is out, from Omer Golan Joel and Richard Rose is out. Cyborg Prime Games: Traveller RPG Ship Distance Calculator. Dragon #87 p 75: “Luna, A Traveller’s Guide – The Moon in Traveller” by Marc Miller. We also do Internet Finds, Imperial News, and Rules Finds. In this episode we discuss their last Classic Traveller session ( written recap here on Bob’s gaming blog). Now those in command have to contend with not only an environment that is actively trying to kill them every second of every day, but with a contentious minority group that steals technology and parts for building new facilities as well as a political faction that seeks to upend the centuries-long reign of those who see themselves as de facto rulers of Aristodma. It has worked well enough, until recent years as a few other factions started to see the cracks in the system and decided to try and make their own ways of life beyond the confines of primitive feudalism. Generation by generation, the highly profitable gas-farmers have gained a reputation of shrewd but fair governance. Over the years, however, it became apparent that there were those more suited to the dangers involved, and they soon became leaders among the people. People came here for the high risk, high reward lifestyle of gas-farming. They are governed by those with the highest level of understanding of the environmental hazards present. What began countless rotations ago as a corporately owned resource, Aristodma is now home to millions of people who live in ports, research stations, and other dense plastic fortresses. The primary authority is a feudal technocracy. Due to the high gravity, the densest parts of the atmosphere are much lower to the ground, allowing for research stations, collection facilities and refineries to be built on the highest points of elevation. Rich in phosgene and hydrogen chloride, very valuable chemical compounds used in plastics and technology manufacturing. Large, extremely hot planet with a corrosive atmosphere and scant water.

The reasons why this world hadn’t begun expanding (aggressively or otherwise) is simple to deduce: with over 100 Billion citizens to support, it doesn’t have any resources to spare for expansionist activities. This world is located in a ‘Dumarest’-style setting, with no significant interstellar powers.
Several nearby Agricultural worlds have a ready-made market with this extremely overpopulated system. Combined with longer lifespans associated with higher technology, the world quickly reached and exceeded its purported capacity. Birth (and survival) rates are high, given the planet’s TL of 9.

The religion itself promotes, perhaps even encourages, Free Love, and has strict rules against contraceptives and most forms of abortion. With an extremely high population level and poor atmosphere, this overwhelmed planet is run by an accepting, yet overbearing and stern, Religious Dictatorship. Importance (Ix)=2 Ranks worlds within a region In this episode we are focusing on two more of the random planets submitted during our Random Planet event a few months ago, this time from Dwayne “ Hiverlord” Walstrom and Jonathan Daylett (check out his Desert World RPG – a great adaptation of a Mad Max style setting).īefore that we dig into a couple of items from X-Boat Transmissions, and end with a recap or our own last gaming session from our Into the Void campaign.įV main star (no companions).
