Marc Miller's TRAVELLER


Well, how things change! When I first started developing this website, I was very much into the idea of creating a slew of referee tools (I was heavily into Visual Basic at the time). About the same time, many other people came up with the same idea. Better programmers than me, too. :(

So I published my one tool (WorldGen), immediately found out that someone did me one better, and dropped the programming idea (I'm working more in PERL now anyway - maybe I'll release some CGI scripts.) There still seems to be a fair amount of demand for WorldGen, so I'll keep it up until no one wants it! (The advantage of running my own webserver! :)

Instead, I started started participating more and more on the TML, and writing down a lot of what I was talking about. It was a very good time ... then T4 died, and the list shifted to GURP Traveller. No offense intended for Steve Jackson - I've enjoyed many of the games he's produced - GURPs isn't one of them tho.

But now a new incarnation of Traveller is due out, and while I'm too late (probably) to affect any input for it, I'm gearing up to start playing in the new game system. So, the website gets attention once more! Plus I've got all these ideas rattling around in my head ...

I hope you enjoy the articles I have published here. To my knowledge, they are not being archived anywhere else, nor are they being considered for inclusion in any future incarnation of the Traveller rules. But they make sense to me, and I will continue to use them (although I will update and revise them as needed!)
I have included some code at the end of each article that will allow you to give me some feedback - I encourage you to use it! For more detailed rebuttals/encouragement/advice/etc..., please use E-mail Douglas at douglas@teleport.com

Thanks for visiting my page!
