As I've been delving into Traveller, I've also been working on a little bit of whimsy: a Riphaeus sector booklet on the model of GDW's The Spinward Marches and The Solomani Rim supplements. I say whimsy both because I'm not sure how useful this project will be and because I'm making an effort to reproduce, to the best of my limited abilities, the formatting and layout of the originals. For example, here's the draft page accompanying the map to the Wiseman's Gap subsector.
I'm not very skilled at most technical skills, so it's not been easy to copy the GDW house style as I had hoped. I'm still plugging away at it, in between other projects. My hope is get the thing done sometime this month and release it through Mongoose's Classic Travellers' Aid Society third party license. As I said, this is mostly for my own enjoyment (and perhaps the enjoyment of the players in my old Riphaeus sector campaign), but I also find it helpful to complete a simple, straightforward project as a way to jumpstart other, bigger projects (of which I have many).
