Amber Zones In The Spinward Marches And Other Sectors

[alex_greene]

Has anybody ever complied a list of Amber Zone worlds in the Spinward Marches, i.e. all those hotspots where there's aggro which, naturally, would draw the aggro-starved Travellers to them like wasps to a jam-covered magnet?

Even has directions.

I did mean just the Amber Zones, not just all the worlds.
I guess I'll just have to do it myself.

Search Tips page for Travellermap.com says that you can search for Amber Zones with "zone:A".

It's colour coded, and being a map, simplifies trying to figure out how to get there.

I've got the TMap depository cloned on my hard drive, so I'd just grep the appropriate file.

Amber Zones are my favorite Zones!

IMTU a few red zones are low tech, high magic places where the borders between realities grow thin. Amber zones are usually standard.

Amber and red zones are for the referee to decide, not be cast in a timeless state on an unchanging map.

Amber and red zones are for the referee to decide, not be cast in a timeless state on an unchanging map.

Same could be said basically about any data for a planet or system. Population, Tech Level, Government, etc. are all things that can change over time. So yes, it is a snapshot, a starting point if you like. And any referee can change things for his campaign...wait but then it is no longer canon.

I just created a list of Ambers and Reds from the data in Mongoose's Behind The Claw. Now tempted to do the same for Deneb, Vanguard Reaches, and The Beyond.
But first, I'm going to give Behind The Claw a good read, and take notes on the canon details of the worlds that book has featured.

I'd post this file here, but the forum hates XLS and ODS, so I'll put them up on Mediafire along with text files, and share a link. I've posted a bunch of other stuff to this forum - I've uploaded those files to there.
