New feature allows you to incorporate Traveller characters into Star Systems. You can generate them elsewhere and input the data into the app, which is useful for player characters. Or you can use the package-based Traveller creation directly in the app, which is useful for quicker NPC creation.

The package-based Traveller creation shows the characteristics on top which can be rolled with or without boons, then the selection of background packages (Space Habitat is selected). At the bottom we see part of the career packages, with Agent selected.

There is only one new thing in the latest update to Star Systems: you can update the app from within it without having to download it again. You’ll need to download this update of course, but the you can “Check for Updates…” #TravellerRPG #Traveller5 #SciFi #ttrpg #Traveller hexaedre.com/apps/ss/

Teaser of the current state of the campaign panel in my Star Systems app for #Traveller. #Traveller #TravellerRPG #Traveller5 #SciFi #ttrpg

Part of the Star Systems app’s campaign panel which tracks the player characters’ location, the date and time, the group’s common credits, etc. The location drives the time to 100D transit, availability of refined/unrefined fuel, scooping opportunities, etc. Clicking on a player’s row opens the limited information tracked for each character, not a full character sheet, only stuff the referee wants to track, including skills and ranks used in the trade section for assessing availability of suppliers or passengers.

The new ship design/validation tool for my Star Systems app is now completed. It supports both core and High Guard rules/options. You can use it to just validate a starship or you can save a full starship with a configuration, type, name, and description. You can also add one or more images.

The new “starships” section of the Star Systems app. It shows two designed ships, the “Cool Air Turbulence” and the “Laureline.” The Laureline is selected and we see part of its design configuration, its description and the three image thumbnails attached to it. Two of the images are open and visible to the right, showing the upper and lower decks of the ship.

Latest version of Star Systems adds import/export of SEC files (both legacy and T5 for import, exports only to T5). Also adds campaign management, with the ability to have multiple campaigns in parallel. #Traveller #TravellerRPG #Traveller5 #SciFi #ttrpg hexaedre.com/apps/ss/

The campaign manager window showing two campaign selectors at the top, the BORD is selected, which is the the short code for the Borderland campaign. Follows a description of the campaign, then the current date, time, and location of the players (star system and body/planet). Then a list of players (player name, character name, and character crew role). Not shown but clicking on a player shows a panel with more information that is editable. Below the players’ list are the campaign notes. Three such notes are shown.

Why import TravellerMap data into an app instead of just using the web version of TravellerMap? Answer: so that you can make it your own. For example as I read about the Borderland I added the Wildeman Cluster region as described in the book. #Traveller #TravellerRPG #Traveller5 #SciFi #ttrpg

A section of the Borderland from the Traveller Map. It shows a cluster of star systems including the Wildeman system that stand outside regions of space identified as a faction.

The same section of the Borderland from the Traveller Map but imported into the Star System app. It shows the cluster of star systems including the Wildeman system that is inside a region identified as a the Wildeman Cluster, as described in The Borderland book for Traveller.

Working on a little travel time tool for both interplanetary travel time and time to the 100D limit for jump. This is per system, so you have all the bodies listed by orbit. This is for my Star Systems app. #Traveller #TravellerRPG #Traveller5 #SciFi #ttrpg

A tool to display travel time for the Corfu system (Spinward Marches, subsector Aramis). It shows the time to reach 100D from any of the bodies in the system for each of the thrusts from 1G to 6G, plus a ‘custom
thrust of 1.5G. At the bottom is a interplanetary travel time tool with a picker for a ‘from’ and a ‘to’ bodies with travel time listed.

New blog post. Some of the features of my own version of #HMK Toolkit, my macOS application for character creation and campaign management for the HârnMaster Kèthîra role-playing game. It’s been more than a year since I posted about this “full” version. hexaedre.com/hmk08/

I implemented impairments in my HMK Toolkit app for HârnMaster Kèthîra, then I added the ability to swap hands, because you might have impairments in one arm and want to use you other arm to swing your sword. Turned out to be pretty complicated but I really like the result! #HMK #HarnMaster #ttrpg

When a button is pressed the primary hand is changed from right to left. As this character is right-handed, it now applies the ‘offhand’ penalties to the spear instead of the roundshield. We can see indicators for the roundshield and spear that indicate in which hand they are.

This is the same but with the spear now in the left hand and the roundshield in the right hand.

I added a quick roller for HMK Toolkit, my HarnMaster Kethira application. It finds the EML, rolls the D100 and interprets the result either as a Skill Test or as a Skill Value Test. #HMK #HarnMaster #HarnWorld #TTRPG #ttrpg

A popover is shown for the Physician skill which has a ML of 60, but un EML of 63 due to a 5 perception penalty from armour and a 8 bonus from a blessing. The roll on the D100 is 20, which is a critical success. If this was a Skill Value test, the resulting SV is 7 (skill index 6 plus 1 from the critical success).
