Thanks. That's very useful. :)

Very cool. Hmmmm ... Looks like the my bullseye has moved to Sector 75/ 74 (74, if that the location of the Delaware is accurate). And I probably live on the edge of Sector 8. And now I just need to toddle off and check that my sector wasn't one of the ones turned into a glowing hole, during...

Good to put it out there. Thanks!

Oh. Thanks. That's dead useful! I hadn't realized that Iso-Block numbers were/ might be tied to Sector numbers.

Thanks, guys. Good to know that I can go with a black and white option, at least. To my embarrassment, I discovered the black and white file in the travdevpack folder, seconds after reading dmccoy1693's reply. Must admit that I'm feeling a little sheepish. :oops:

(That was weird -- Bit of a misfire, as I was convinced that I'd cancelled that post midway through and was going to post later. Apologies! :o ) Well, the article I was referring to is over here and it's chock full of great details. So far, based on the map on this page, it looks like...

Dear all, Can you peeps help me out with info about MC-1? I'm an expat Brit who now lives just east of Philadelphia (in New Jersey's Camden County). For a while, I've been thinking of Dredd adventures in the Undercity --specifically, the ruins of the town I live in now. And, lo! Today, I...

(Not quite on topic but still thinking of SF undead) SJ Games' great unpublished multi-genre miniatures game (Hot Lead) was to have a Space Knights setting. Ral Partha made 25mm for the Necrovores -- essentially cyborged animated skeletons. Stuff of Legends has a listing but no pics, I'm...

... under the terms of the Traveller Logo Licence, right? I know, I know, it probably sounds like a dumb question ( :oops: :roll: ) but I'm beginning work on a 'zine dedicated to SF games modelled on my memories of generalist gaming magazines in the 1980s. I wanna get the details right. I'd...

Ah. I don't visit these boards nearly often enough and I was a little surprised to see the line gone (especially after all the talk of a Traveller setting).

Sure -- probably covered under starship construction (even though it was a floating habitat)? C'mon. There must be more Jones fans out there!

It could be a minis game in its own right!!!! ;)

Several folks on rpg.net seem to have a copy. If you don't feel like joining and asking directly over there, a Google site search might yield some answers. In the search field, enter (without the "scare quotes" and keep the space between the site address and ringworld): "site:forum.rpg.net...

Sshhhh! The frustrated game designer in me would like to write an SFRPG based on this. :) Do you know about this page on James White and his work? Finally, have you seen the Pax Galacticum supplement for Battlestations? Battlestations is a tabletop RPG crossed with miniatures game in which...

Thought I'd post a link to an old favourite of mine: "Pamar"'s pages on Scientific Research (based on the old Ringworld RPG's rules), rules for technicians, and an old Peter Vialls's article, Day of Disaster, about running SF emergency rescue scenarios. Hope you all enjoy them as much as I do...
