Anyone? I can help you roll the sector up if you want. There are some useful tools that reduce the workload down to almost nothing <a href="http://swn.emichron.com/" rel="nofollow">http://swn.emichron.com/</a> This generates a sector for you. Click the star and then click an empty sector to move it. When you have a ector you like click download sector and it saves it to an HTML file and uses an extension called TiddlyWiki to compile it into the HTML file. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tid" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tid</a>... That is an extension for firefox that enables you to use TiddlyWiki and save changes. It auto rolls the sector and planets for you. You can use the HTML file to track things by using it like a note pad and editing the "Tiddlers" below is an example ---- Atmosphere Breathable mix Temperature Cold Biosphere Human-miscible biosphere Population Alien civilization Tech Level Tech Level 3. 20th-century technology. Tags Exchange Consulate, Local Tech Enemies Corrupt Exchange official, Indebted native who thinks the players are Exchange agents, Exchange official dunning the players for debts incurred; Keeper of the tech, Offworld industrialist, Automated defenses that suddenly come alive, Native alien mentors Friends Consul in need of offworld help, Local banker seeking to hurt his competition, Exchange diplomat; Curious offworld scientist, Eager tech buyer, Native in need of technical help Complications The local Consulate has been corrupted, the Consulate is cut off from its funds, A powerful debtor refuses to pay; The tech is unreliable, The tech only works on this world, The tech has poorly-understood side effects, The tech is alien in nature. Places Consulate meeting chamber, Meeting site between fractious disputants, Exchange vault; Alien factory, Lethal R&D center, Tech brokerage vault Things Exchange vault codes, Wealth hidden to conceal it from a bankruptcy judgment, Location of forgotten vault; The tech itself, An unclaimed payment for a large shipment, The secret blueprints for its construction, An ancient alien R&D database --- The "Tags" of Local Tech and Exchange Consulate are what determines the Enemies, friends, complications, ect. An example on how to use this to make a story. A local bank wants to increase its market share, so it hires you to gather evidence on a Corrupt Exchange Offcial who is running their own branch with corrupt practices. While gathering evidence the Consulate you work for has their funds cut off by those above, which leads the party to beleive that the leadership is corrupted. If the leadership is corrupted then evidence of it would have to be hidden away in the Main Vault, so you need to gather the Thing "Exchange vault codes" from the place "consulate meeting chamber" That is enough of a storyline to start with that you could run an entire campaign just on THAT and its all from random tags. If any DMs out there want to run Stars Without Number i would be happy to teach you how to use TiddlyWiki. I really, REALLY want to play a Telekinetic Criminal and Hacker.
