Hey Guys,

Just setting up a new campaign on Obsidian Portal, and would be keen for some feedback.

Tales of the Solay Express

Cheers

First, I'm a bit disappointed you're not within driving distance. I'd love to jump in to this. Alas, my car doesn't navigate oceans well...

Second, it's clear from your Overview you've been reading some old Traveller material; Red and Amber zones indeed. Creating an entire sector, even a relatively small one, is a daunting task. I like how you pulled in the Dorneans. It looks like a good start. From the description it seems like your group is trying to run a trading enterprise. Reminds me a little of one of the X-Wing books where Rogue or Wraith squadron (I forget which) took over an old station. That right there gives you huge amounts of adventure hooks.

You said it was sandbox style, but you have 3 seasons of 12-sessions planned. I'm assuming each season will have a theme, but how are you going to fit that in with the sandbox? Players never go where they're told.

Anyway, looks good to start. Again, pity I can't drop in.

Actually the red and amber zones match the map of the sector which I am yet to import across from my Veil of Darkness Campaign (yes I am running two concurrent campaigns in the same area of space). Here is the map, and as you can see, its a Star Wars-ified subsector map.

I'll be following you, looks pretty cool.

I need to set up an obligation chart on my own page, but due to some design choices I can't reconcile the chart currently.

Love the detail put into each planets history. Thanks man. Very inspiring... Going to use a lot of this material for my own campaign.
