Most of the people who migrated to the Foross Sector during the time of the great mining operations arrived as individuals or small families and formed new communities among members of their own species, and even some mixing between different species, that developed new local cultures created from a blend of their countless different backgrounds. … Continue reading "Turikans and Parakarians"| Spriggan's Den
Since I last wrote about the different humanoid species of Iridium Moons, the setting has undergone a number of changes, with some peoples being gone, others added, and the remaining ones having undergone many small changes and expansions to their concepts.

Yesterday, I was trying to get a sense of scale for ships in Traveller, as they are not usually measured in length but by volume. The CR90 … Continue reading "Star Wars ships are massive!
