is this project responsible for this? :-) Traveller Map: Move Distant Fringe to rim-trailing of charted space. edit: Their old position was right on the edge of the spinward side rift, basically where DR is headed. And now they move within a week or 2 of DR being announced. Yes. The move of this AT...

It works in one direction only. Regina to Capital, J-2, Imperial worlds only, works fine. Nope - it only looks like it does. If you limit the path to Imperial Worlds it will report "No route found". The Regina-Capital route passes through Wal-Ta-Ka (Deneb 2713) which is not an Imperial world (alleg...

Yep, Matt and I are in touch. Baldo: what would you hope to see about Ruupiin? To be honest, I expect it to have plenty of pacified, cookie-cutter garden worlds under the watchful eyes of Steppelords, a handful of interdicted sophont homeworlds still being guided to the true path, lots of inhospitab...

Another font topic: What is the font in the body text of the classic Traveller books? Also Optima, or something else? If Optima is only in titles, the right Google Docs solution might be to put the title into an SVG, with fonts converted to paths. The body font for the Classic LBBs was, per LKW, He...

Funny thing is Traveller maps often don't include the star type of the primary, and I think the star a planet orbits is an important thing. Yep. The classic maps by GDW were focused on (wait for it...) space travel, and show the bare minimum: "is liquid water and/or a gas giant present for free fue...

Hi, is your friend by any chance active on these forums?

It was the same person mentioned upthread ("BlindGuy")

Also, I fixed the demo I put together: https://travellermap.com/tmp/vo.html - if you turn on "Voice Over" on an iPad it's somewhat usable, but not polished.

Wow. That map is amazing. Yeah... that map... might be very hard to convert to a blind friendly mode. That's just for systems and what they contain I take it? More a navigation aid than anything else? If so, I might have an easier time making a homebrew setting, lol. Thanks! I actually did an exper...

They're from a hodgepodge of sources.

⑆ SPECIAL ADVISORY TO ALL TRAVELLER NEWS SERVICE SUBSCRIBERS ¶ The Travellers’ Aid Society has issued a correction for information regarding several worlds in the Trojan Reach sector on the Imperial frontier.

Maybe they don't. Think of the maps in the products as being for the GM, not necessarily what is available to the characters in-game. The pirate bases maybe entirely unmarked, no one but the pirates themselves knowing their location. Maybe them do exist in Imperial military charts (who can't do any...

Would the current set of alien races be relevant? You can, or course, do anything you like in your gaming sessions. For consistency with the published Traveller setting: unlikely. No explanation is given in the book for how humans ended up that far away from Charted Space, long enough ago to have s...

Does anyone know where the CALIDAN Sector (Athwa Subsector) is in relationship other published Traveller Sectors?

Far to Coreward and Trailing of Charted Space. Perhaps it will show up on the map some day...

The Vanguard Reaches were first described in "Vanguard Reaches" by Chuck Kallenbach II, published by Paranoia Press (along with The Beyond by Donald P. Rapp). These are available from Far Future Entertainment (a.k.a. Marc Miller) in PDF form either from DriveThruRPG or FFE on CD-ROM on the Classic T...

They both come from the same wikitravellerrpg, so why do you say one is legit and the other is not? The wiki — which is a work in progress — does not wholly reflect Marc Miller's vision of the OTU, which is his playground. Although he has welcomed other authors to build on it — and often with visio...

Marcellus is the least bad match I've found in the Google Fonts library.

I love the Traveller Map, but can someone explain why it appears that many worlds are marked as Amber zones - e.g. in Albadawi sector there are many worlds marked as Amber zones, but in the Solomani Rim book only something like two worlds are marked as Amber zones in the UWP profiles? Is this map a...

For "eye candy" style, you may want to try:

One of the many options available under the settings menu. Enjoy!

Yes, borders are are a map fiction that delineate the allegiance of the system mainworlds. You're not going to find navies defending empty hexes that happen to have a line around them. Deep strikes into territories by deep space refueling light-months away from observation is also possible. But not ...

Nit: TravellerMap.com uses existing data, doesn't generate it.

The T5SS-reviewed data is checked to ensure it doesn't violate the rules (mostly) but isn't necessarily generated according to them.
