Nothing will happen - they were transferred to us in January...
Sad, but understandable. Maybe someone will whip something and sell it on DTRPG.
To expand on what I’d been hoping for. I’d have liked to have had a sourcebook in the pipeline for the Zhodoni like you did for the Third Imperium that fleshed them out and did Foreven at the same time. Even one for the Aslan. They deserve more details.
Not to be a broken record, but a Ziafrplians/Gvurrdon book would be the greatest thing since sliced bread.
(And I was pleasantly surprised I even got to do that much with it - what's in there counts as apocrypha, not canon - except for the star map and the handful of defined worlds)
It’s just a pain to want to go outside the borders of the Spinward Marches and have a sector with the Zhodoni and who knows what else without even the worlds defined to do trading. I wish Mongoose would have at least do apocryphal UPPs and borders for it all that we could work with. Creating it all from scratch is more than I have time or enthusiasm for.
That's in the Sector Construction Kit as the example sector. UWP for all of them, with the Avalar Consulate and an alien race on the Zhodani border roughly speced out.
Are they all spelled out? I'd have sworn I looked. Off to look now.
I see how I missed it. I went through the book looking for the UPPs but they are only on the map. Any chance the UPPs could be made available in a single sheet or, preferably, a text file that could be uploaded to travellermap without a ton of copy/pasting effort? That would be very helpful in using it for myself. And thanks for spelling it all out. That's a big help.
Sorry, but they absolutely should not be uploaded to Travellermap or made "official" as that would be a direct contravention of the intention. Which is to allow the GM to create their own Charted Space setting and have a place to put it in the map without causing problems.
I didn't say they needed to upload them, only that with the right file I could do so for the maps and things I personally do. I'm not advocating a global change, though I believe that the number of people that would get something from an official sector far outnumber the few who use it as a private reserve.
I have to say I disagree with this pretty strongly. The players are going to go where they want and that's just part of being a GM. This isn't a choose your own adventure book. The sky should be the limit, and I don't mind the work that comes from building as they go. It's not my job to limit the players. It's to work with them to make the magic happen, even if it wasn't something I'd planned on.
