One obviously needs some notes on each world one intends to use. for instance, here is a world I created: Hex AO BJ Forseti: Starport E - Frontier installation; Diameter 7 - 6,860 miles (11,038 km); Atmosphere 5 - Thin; Water surface 9 - 92%; Population 2 - 214 humans; Government 0 - No...

Then it becomes a game of "Capture the Flag!"

You could have the same constraint if the Maneuver Drive required the same amount of reaction mass that the Jump Drive with current rules requires for jump fuel. I believe the formula is Jump Drive number * 10% of the ship's Hull Volume, we could instead use Maneuver Drive Number * 10% of the...

I am still waiting for my GURPs Dungeons & Dragons!

Well normally a hex map shows things such as the World name, whether there are gas giants, whether there is liquid water on the surface, the presence of a scout or naval base, whether it is an amber or red zone and the type of starport, that information I could put in a hex, and in my hex map, I...

That's great where distance matters, in my campaign, distance doesn't matter so much. You can move the ends of a wormhole around, but the internal distance through each wormhole remains the same, so I decided that a hex format makes the map more compact, and I can add more star systems to it...

The setting date for Earth is 2491 AD the same as the first season of Buck Rogers in the 25th century. A few tech items are not available, no jump drives and no artificial gravity, and their are no reactionless thrusters. The bulk of the "fuel" carried by starships is reaction mass, the space...

Here's a start:

So you like Rupert, Agathe, Maria, Werner, Hedwig, Johanna, and Martina. You know I could use those star maps from Sidereal Traveller, since I am using the same stars in my setting as you are using in yours, the planets orbiting those stars may be different of course. I have a lot of die...

Yep, a planet orbiting such a small star within its habitable zone does not need moons, technically it can't have moons really, the gravitation gradient is too strong, having rings in low orbit is the most you would get. But the neighboring planets are so close they would appear as disks in the...

Yes, there is that. One idea I had was to name those planets after the Von Trapp Family children, I believe he had seven of those one for each planet. We could use either the fictional names they made up for the musical, "The Sound of Music", or the actual family names. here is a photo of the...

I like the first season better than the second, the second adopts the "Star Trek format". The first season deals with intrigue between the Terrans fighting to maintain their independence and the Draconian Empire which wants to conquer them. So this campaign is based more on the first season Buck...

I have to say, Wow, that's a lot of work! My setting is based on the 1970s television show Buck Rogers in the 25th century, but perhaps with a bit less of the "cheese" and the women throwing themselves at Buck Rogers like he some sort of superstar, one thing is true however Princess Ardala, a...

Yes they can be interesting, when taken in moderate amounts, however 90% of all stars are red dwarfs, it gets kind of monotonous after a while, I like to balance those out with other kinds of stars even though they are less common, and having a wormhole network gives me a good excuse to do that...

Yes I realize this, but if you skip over the red dwarfs this eliminates some of the problem, and you can be selective about which stars you include in the network as well, some of the non-garden worlds that are inhospitable to life aren't included in this network. the stars that are closer to...

Yes there is that, but my stargate map doesn't include all the stars, a lot of red dwarf stars were not included, though some are, this avoids the problem of having 90% red dwarf stars on my map, if we're doing it realistically, and I think players would grow tired of seeing an enourmous red...

Sure, I would love to. The thing about wormhole maps is that wormholes don't have to connect the closest system, you could put the other end of a wormhole on the other side of a galaxy, or even in another galaxy if you wanted to. If you create a wormhole, the two ends start out close to each...

How is it misogynistic if it is not a blanket accusation of all women? Some women are good others are bad, just like men are, that is why we need proof not just hearsay!

I'm not saying all women will do this, so this is not misogyny. There are some evil women out there however just like their are evil men, to admit this is not misogyny. The result is this man has to keep seeing this woman in order to keep her silent and keep his marriage going, otherwise that...

Regarding my map, I already done some work on it by hand rolling some dice, the wormholes are already placed, so that part is done already. If you want to do some maps on the side connecting to mine, you can use a program to do those. Right now I could use some automatic dice rollers to generate...
