Still a work in progress, but I’m happy with how this is turning out. The 15-year-old me was fascinated with the Traveller rules for system creation (the LBB version). I still am! But now, while my astrophysics lessons are way behind me (36 years ago, more or less), I can still fix some of the system generation mistakes (for example, planets or gas giants in too-far orbits, e.g.,in the Oort Cloud). (1/2)
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.

The initial step involves populating the hexes and constructing the map. This represents the first draft of the interface for that purpose.

I've started working on a Stars Without Number campaign. Here's a short blog post about what I am planning to do.
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:

Although I haven't been posting regularly here, I have been participating in the Barking Alien Campaign Tour Challenge to develop my post apocalypse setting based on #HumboldtCounty and #DelNorteCounty for #AshesWithoutNumber

Gute Vorsätze oder einfach nur Wünsche fürs #pnp #ttrpg nächstes Jahr:
Habe einen Open Table für #stonehelldungeon gestartet und hoffe, der tuckert einfach entspannt weiter.
Bei #valravn wäre ich gern öfter dabei. #ardenvul war große Klasse, und das Tal der Thani gibt's ja auch noch.
Ansonsten reizt mich mal wieder #talislanta, da kann ich auch die famose #dcc #DyingEarth -Box reinpacken.
Ganz famos wäre piu-piu #spaceopera, so Richtung #starwars meets Becky Chambers. #starswithoutnumber
