What I've learned so far is that if you roll just right, you can get a Zhodani named "Chip".

The scenario felt very different to the usual #Traveller adventure that I've run, with a strong hard science flavour. The planning exercises needed by the game enhanced the feel, and roleplaying tended towards vignettes in key scenes, partly also because people had multiple characters. The mystery about the rogue planet added an unknown factor. Highly recommended.

I’m also feeling sad that - in canon - she will return and probably be lost to Virus as Charted Space collapses in the wake of the Rebellion, and all that data and knowledge may be lost.

Which probably isn't what you mean by "otherworldy elven city."
(Note that while they are designed for the #Traveller Space #ttrpg, they aren't particularly specific to that game or setting.)

And I’ve been really thinking…
What is the difference between a bunch of heavily armed outlaws building a base, and “trading” with their neighbors and a (polity? Empire?) other then scale and treaties?

"Syrena, when you've seen one A788899A planet, you've seen them all." Classic!

Current book is The Cosmic Computer by H. Beam Piper. I'm just short of halfway through it. I'm really enjoying it, except for where the fact that it's from the early 1960s comes screaming to the foreground with things "but we can't expect the women folk to use logic." Otherwise loving the plot about trying to use an almost religious devotion to a falsity to motivate a community to improve

Quick reminiscence on the development of the game which that I wrote and demoed a lot for @BITS_Traveller in the early 2000s.

I think if you worked on feudalism as Coins and Scrolls does it you'd have diegetic adventuring more like Traveller than DnD.

I generated the sector booklet using TravellerMap, and I'll hand it out to my players the next session.

Most of them were randomly generated, a few were designed, and a handful were taken directly from various Traveller/Cepheus books. I used the TravellerMap site to generate my own map and booklet.
I'm going to tidy it up a bit, and make a final version for my players. Will most likely post it on my blog as well.

Now if only I could remember which one of these old hard drives has the starmap data on it.....
