Gosh haven't posted here for a while!
Have spent some time recently getting back into Second Life. For those who don't know its a virtual world but not an on-line game, you just do whatever you want there. The big thing about SL is that you can build what you want, including working devices, so people have built robots, guns and more creative items. The world is not fantasy or SF per se, but there are places and groups that reflect both (the vast majority of SL just looking like our world but with the brakes taken off).
So that's all got me to thinking - could we use SL to create a true Traveller environment. I'll put out a call for interested parties in-world, but if tehre's anybody else in the Traveller community interested in the idea please get in touch.
My in-world name is Corro Moseley, and my home/office is at Nari <48,170,134>. I must put up a virtual Traveller poster.
[Weird. I post this then later in the day read that the Starship C3 "universe" is just moving in to SL.]
P.S. The writing project came to nought, the publisher had a change of heart, but I now have a 48+ page supplement on colonisation in draft if anybody wants to help publish it.
