    Chap,

    I'd be interested in knowing what House Rules you had to reduce the lengthy combat time. For me it's the huge number of Hit Points that everything has, though Peons having just 1 are fun.

    Nothing Earth shattering.
    Reduce all HP by 2/3rds
    Had a +1 bonus token if a PC could complete their entire turn in 1 minute and a -1 for over 2 minutes.
    Also as a Dm, never grind the obvious. If your big bad is losing, and it clear that they will lose, either have them flee or die.
    This is particularly the case with Elites and Solos

    Is it possible to include Milieu as a selectable field in this so you could if need be pull out data from those different Milieus if you wanted to?

    Alpha Crucis for example has data for 4 Milieus on TravellerMap.

    Just as a side thought, could you not just use the 4 letter codes for the Sectors (SPIN - Spinward Marches) and the Susbector letter (A-P) for the Subsectors. Wouldn't that get round errors encountered when looking at oddly named places that use * and ! ?

    Morning All,

    The folks at TravellerMap have fixed their error, you can now pull down the system data for: I'Sred*Ni Heptad

    And there is what it returns!

    Yea, well TravellerMap API is pretty clunky, so I'm keen to get the T5 data and I manually edit that. I have plans for lots of tools, but gotta finish the ruleset first.

    I used the api to pull all the traveller map data down for milieu 1105 and put it into a spreadsheet. Its all cleaned up and I am planning on putting it into a module with notes etc., You are welcome to the raw data or, if you want, the expanded data which generates all the missing items using MGT rules with some T5 top ups where MGT2 is lacking. I am using the MGT2 trade codes in the rework data, but the raw data still has the T5 trade codes.

    best regards

    Good evening,

    I am trying to make a “simple” app that handles getting the data from the Traveller API and an xml from Fantasy Grounds and then when that works porting it into Fantasy Grounds as an extension for my buddies.

    I have the data calls in C# already done in my app. I am running into a couple of issues and it may be because I am newer to the API/system in general so please bare with me:

    API related question:
    Some of the data seems “dirty” when I did a pull. Eg universe says Langer is a sector but sector data doesn’t pull. There’s also a duplicate Langere. Is there a fix for that?

    When I was trying to pull data from the API it seems like a “subsector” is a world or planet, but then subsectors have subsectors. Is there a way to translate that into worlds? I know the traveller map has a companion website but there seems to be data issues (like the one above) with it as well. Is there a clean way to do that?

    The eventual end goal would be the DM could just pick one person doing astrogation and a character doing pilot along with different options along the way. It wouldn’t like display the map as people would still have to know which world they go to and read the map etc but it would alleviate a lot of number crunch.


    Lastly as a seemingly unrelated question but I need to know for the encounter step. The idea is that a D66 is rolled and then a modifier is applied to the first number. If that modifier is negative four and the player rolled two ones how does one find a -31 on the encounter table?

    Thanks,

    MathBlade

    MGT2 Traveller space is developed in a relatively organized fashion. From biggest to smallest it goes like this.

    Space (Everything)
    Domain or regional equivalent (contains 4 sectors)
    Sector (contains 16 subsectors)
    Subsector (contains 80 hexes and a variable number of systems)
    Hex/System (Smallest normal element)

    In MGT2 system information represents the solar data, the main world, scout/navy services, and the presence of a gas giant. There is no method provided to determine full in-system data (other planets, how many gas giants, how many belts, where they are in proximity to the habitable belt, etc). Since the MGT2 is a small subset of the T5 data contained in travellermap, it has to be filtered down to import into the ruleset system information.

    The information found at travellermap.com is formatted for the T5 version of Traveller. T5 contains a comprehensive system for developing quite a bit of system and in-system data. However, the license for this ruleset is MGT2 so as a result most of the T5 data would need to be added in some way or another into notes in order to be available.

    As for the API, since Langere is both a system and a sector, you would want to want to explicitly pull the sector information to avoid just getting the individual system:

    Hopefully this is helpful.
