Question: can I "Landgrab" a few worlds and work on them at my leisure? Sure, go for it. I've started to do the same. OK. I'd like to claim 510, 609, 710, and 810. No names yet, but given common trade routes that looks like a related cluster of worlds to me.

Question: Should the template include any moon(s)? Everything but the template is up to individual authors. I haven't included moons, gas giants, or other system components that don't show up in the '77 LBB3, but that doesn't mean people can't flesh out their world(s) as they see fit. I expect I will add some further details to my own entries as they occur to me. I'd like to claim 510, 609, 710, and 810. Splendid, can you start off individual threads for each world? Even if you just stick a blank template in there for now.

By the way, I should mention that I intend to compile this setting as a freely-available PDF (under the FFE Fair Use Policy, and on behalf of this forum, not as Dreamscape Design), just like the recent one-page setting competition. I will assume that you are aware of and in agreement with this before posting your write-ups on this board.

Edited all four of my worlds. The board does not show updates to threads when posts are edited. I can use my Admin powers to mark the threads as new, so they are highlighted and Vile Traveller or makofan, should also be able to do that; however, I checked and on the main index page it does not show new posts in the subforum, even after I marked the threads as new. Apparently you have to add a post to get it to show on the main Index page.

Thanks for digging in to the technical back-end!

No problem, I did not see it as a complaint, this is really the first time is has come up as an issue. If you want to post in this thread the next time it is relevant - then perhaps one of us can mark them new for you.

Should each of us roll gas giants for our systems or do you want to roll them for all systems? In 1977, you need to delve to page 35 of Book 2 to find the 10+ roll to not have a gas giant (i.e. 9- to have a gas giant). Frank

Just to keep it wide open, flexible and leave a lot of room for flights of fancy, you may want to go ahead and do that. But I'm just an observer; my tendency would be to (for myself and not for the players) in my OD&D game when I created my planet I did the whole solar system, even though all the game play will be on only a few continents of the one world. This is Frank's show so please follow his lead. I am enjoying watching this project anyway and anywhere it goes.

I'll add GGs to the table when I get home.

Are these place holders for more development, or is the planet essentially "done" and we should remove them? I will be adding more detail. Need to read up on the recent developments to see if there are more hooks to other worlds to be made. And definitely happy to let someone else take the others if they have ideas burning. Frank
