Space Marines will be in their own section, since they don't overlap with regular humanity all that much.

Love the psy-professions, and can't wait to see what you do with Marines.

Discovered my first-draft map of the Tellian sector the other day, and I'm adding in all the locations.

Very cool. Will you share the updated map?

Quote from: Silverlion;451117Very cool. Will you share the updated map?

Yeah, once it's done. Right now I've basically got two maps, neither wholly compatible with the other. So I'm going to reconcile the two and update the spreadsheet and put it all up here.

Sweet.  I've glanced a bit at SWN, and it seems pretty nifty, far closer to the D&D in Space I've been seeking for so long.  This is some cool work.

Anyone check out the Hard Light expansion?  It sounds like it adds some space hulk/dungeon-y sort of rules?

I'm looking forward to seeing that finished map, and those are apt-looking skill packages, too.

Quote from: J Arcane;451162Anyone check out the Hard Light expansion?  It sounds like it adds some space hulk/dungeon-y sort of rules?

Hard Light has two main flavors of adventure to it- the social intrigue aboard the Brightside mining station that serves as the home base for people working the system, and the exploration of the alien asteroid "sky tombs" out along the rim. The latter is very much "dungeons in space" for groups who decide to go after them, and the module includes a page of mini-geomorphs that can be used to generate random tombs. The resultant maps are paired with a few pages of room types and descriptions that can be randomly used to dress the place. For people without the time or inclination to work their own, there are also three worked examples provided- one tied into the Brightside intrigue, one based around an environmental hazard, and one with potentially larger consequences for the campaign depending on how the PCs play it and how much they understand about the aliens who made the tombs.

Thanks mate!

Here's the updated map. I'm still working on the actual sector profile using the world generator. Probably have it up sometime later this week (ideally either today or tomorrow).

~137 locations now IIRC. Everything's ready to go but about eight or twelve more planet names. Once I get those, up it goes.

Thanks! Just wanted to say that this thread's been instrumental in getting me to try out SWN and I've enjoyed your work here.

Shows the flexibility of SWN and the familiarity of 40K made grokking it that much easier (and I rather like the stuff here just as much as the default setting).
