If you generate a system with one system, it locks the “universe” to either Traveller or SWN tech level. Then I told myself: why not import TravellerMap data, there is an API for that…

My code now generates not only the main world in a system, but all planets, gas giants, planetoid belts, and all of their satellites, including day length and year length, taking into account tide-locked planets or satellites, etc.

I have a new Stars Without Number VTT focused on the *system* – not just a generic VTT. Think sector generation with hidden trade routes and detailed character sheets. The SWN VTT includes interactive initiative, battle maps with fog of war, and a robust in-game comms system. Check it out:

Rewatching the #SWN series premier. Surely there's no way they had Batel's arc plotted out this far in advance?

#TTRPG friends, what are your favorite Space Opera adventures, modules, and settings published in the last 10 years? 🪐
I'm specifically looking for space opera, not space horror like Alien or Mothership. I know those can be great, but I'm looking for a more Traveller-like vibe with trade, politics, high-tech, exploration, FTL space travel and the like 🚀.

Are there any #videogames that feel similar in style and activities to the #ttrpg systems #Traveller, #StarsWithoutNumber, Rogue Trader, or Scum and Villainy?
Seems like a niche with great potential if there isn't.

@drevrpg Yes, it has been done before. On multiple occasions over the last several decades.
The classic reference would be **Traveller** which used a series of tables to generate a fairly complex approach to planet generation, tech level, and society.
https://www.traveller-srd.com/core-rules/world-creation/
**Stars Without Number** also has systems for sandbox sector creation that people seem to love. Quite a lot, in fact. Plus you can have it for free, which is impressive.
https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/230009/Stars-Without-Number-Revised-Edition-Free-Version
In the last when I'm going to cite is **Starforged**, which has an entire sector/planet generation system, as is appropriate for a game which has a significant portion about exploration.

Planet creation systems have been around for a very, very long time.

Wenn das hier mit dem Internet der #swn Stadtwerke Neumünster so weiter geht, bekommt ihr auf meiner Status-Website zuverlässigere und viel schneller Informationen über einen Ausfall als bei den Stadtwerken selbst.
Und anscheinend kenne ich auch den Grund für den Ausfall besser als die Techniker selbst :/ -

LOL die #swn Stadtwerke Neumünster halten sich nicht an ihre eigene Schnittstellenbeschreibung für SIP. Eingehende und ausgehende Anrufe sollten mit +49 sein, aber das Format wird vom SIP-Server der SWN nur bei Anrufen aus dem Ausland genutzt.
Und für die Proxies habe ich schon glaube ich 3 oder 4 verschiedene Domains gefunden. Je nachdem, ob man auf der Website oder der PDF mit den eigenen Zugangsdaten schaut. -

#Swn is over and I had a blast. My highlights:
Banshi — the coolest band in #Cardiff imho, with an uncharacteristically emotional set
Corella — possibly my favourite new indie band
Butch Kassidy — the best local post-rock I've seen since False Hope for the Savage
Trout — awesome, unfathomably cool grungecore
Minas — the most fun raprock band I've ever seenBut seriously, Banshi is life now.

Finishing off last week on my last #dungeon23 #sector23 and I rolled a doomed badlands world with an atmosphere you need filters to breathe, uncomfortably hot in certain areas, pre-starflight tech, and billions of people.
How could such a planet reach a state of such environmental disaster? (looks around)
Not wanting just a metaphor I said that pretech that used to control pollution has now broken down but rich natives resisted reducing consumption and now they're past the tipping point. #swn

Have written another horrible planet for #dungeon23 #sector23 - an urbanised, feral world, with < a million inhabitants and low tech level. I thought of BLAME! and a world mega city constantly demolished and rebuilt by robots who don't recognise modern humans. The surviving inhabitants are also implacably hostile to outsiders for poorly understood reasons.
In #SWN pre-collapse tech had a big psychic element. Perhaps here nobody modern is considered to have enough to count.

Nearly finished the upper left hand quadrant of my #dungeon23 #sector23 #SWN - it hangs together better now. The core is 0303, a pretech-terraformed paradise where the population worships but does not understand this tech. Trying to use it elsewhere has devastated other nearby systems -this is why forbidden tech is forbidden folks. The remnants of a Perimeter Agency attempts to stop them regaining this knowledge, particularly in 0404.
A touch of Khaaaan there but nothing wrong with that.

Wrote a post about #SWN sector generation and my plans to use the one I made for #dungeon23, since I'm still sick today and off work but also bored. https://daisychase.net/blog/2023/10/02/dungeon23-sector-plan/

Yesterday while sick I rolled up a #SWN sector. It was really quite relaxing. I wonder if I could do #dungeon23 weeks on whole planets for it. Either a system summary per day, or diving into a particular system and doing seven locations on it (though that would go into next year with 26 systems).
I'm sure I remember people saying they were going to do "sector23" and make a #Traveller sector or similar.

"Es gibt keine Anzeichen dafür, dass Kundendaten abgeflossen und somit in fremde Hände gelangt sind."
hat eigentlich die gleiche Bedeutung wie
"Wir können nicht ausschließen, dass Kundendaten abgeflossen sind."
Statt alles zu beschönigen, sollten sich die Stadtwerke, vor allem weil diese Teil kritischer Infrastruktur sind, Fehler eingestehen und die IT-Sicherheit verbessern.

Irgendwas läuft bei den Stadtwerken Neumünster falsch.
SLAs werden nicht eingehalten, es gibt mehrstündige und seltsame mehrere Minuten andauernde Glasfaserstörungen und genauso seltsame Festnetzstörungen, welche die Telefonnummer aus manchen Netzen nicht erreichbar macht.
Auch werden Tickets erst nach mehrerem Nachhaken überhaupt bearbeitet.
Und aktuelle Informationen über Störungen sind nur auf Facebook oder mit einem shz-Abo einsehbar.

CW: Strange New Worlds S2 Ep2 thoughts (spoilers)
As a note, I don't watch the individual episode trailers in order to remain spoiler-free. I DO watch the whole season trailer but it goes no further than that wherever possible. I know this is Una's trial and I assume she'll come out of it OK eventually but that's it. On with the show!
"Sidebar the conversation" is a bit too 2010s slang. It will needlessly date the show.
There's some parallels here with the Lanthanites introduced in the previous episode hiding who they are.
Another bald Vulcan, though this one is clearly being introduced as a villain. (I'm still salty over T'Veen in Pic S3).
Ortegas' impressionism needs a bit of work. That Spock outburst though - WILD!
April demonstrating why Patel was wise to advise Pike not to wedge his way into the Witness list.
Perhaps it was good that April's mention of the medal of gallantry nomination didn't make the record, given everything he did say got struck.
SPOCK! You do NOT mention the Gilbert and Sullivan!
If La'an was admitted into Starfleet given her, ah, heritage then surely Starfleet would've done some tests to make sure she was NOT genetically enhanced, so her being worried that maybe she is doesn't make sense to me. Unless there's a subtle nuance wherein if your modifications are as a result of your parents being modified but no direct enhancements have been done to you then it's somehow ok.
Slightly deus ex machina to have a starfleet reg that happens to perfectly fit the situation that no one either knew about or those that did somehow didn't think about it at the time. That said this is a good way of resolving keeping Una in Starfleet but then in DS9 having Bashir go through all of his related issues.
It was a great story and episode in general! I actually liked that it wasn't a rousing Pike speech that saved the day.
The anti-woke brigade watching this are likely to have popped a blood vessel 😎

Playing in a homebrew Stars Without Number game by @[email protected]. We are a hapless tank crew on a distant planet roving and in the middle of a flash point conflict.
The last time I played a #WorldsWithoutNumber game, my necromancer was ripped apart by dogs in the first combat encounter. Rolling 1 HP was not nice. I put work into making the character unique and made a unique concept last time, and never got to play it beyond the one shot.
This time witt SWN, I'm not as attached to my character. The SWN character generation didn't give me a stat above 10, and I have 3 stats with penalties! 3d6 rolls without a fixed minimum array option character gen is brutal.
I also took the skill 'Polymath', so I can attempt non-combat rolls with all the skills in the game, but because of my stat array I have awful luck at passing any of them.

Just listed my #4MS Spherical Wavetable Navigator (#SWN) up on Reverb. Free shipping. Offers accepted.
It's a great module but I've instituted a 'one in one out' policy to try and keep my #eurorack collection in some kind of balance – so sadly this has to go (though I would love to keep it)

"I wish I could avoid AI generated images but I have no control over the people I pay." is a pretty weak take and is making me second guess backing Cities Without Number. This would be the first Sine Nomine product I don't buy.
