In my /hack column over at rpg.net, I promised an adventure.  The column went up a little early, so this is a bit rushed.  I'll make it nicer once I have a chance to catch my breath.  Read it and give me your feedback in the comments.

We played the Stony Island adventure over the course of two sessions. Roughly half of the first session was taken up with character creation, which is a little slow for us since we're new to the system. The adventure was simple enough that it could have been handled in one six-hour game session without any trouble, but two four hour sessions with some character creation thrown in was acceptable.

Some discussion online about the problem of world generation when creating Traveller characters prompted me to write this up. It's a convenient little utility for generating WPP entries for character generation. It doesn't go whole-hog, complete with starports and political information, because that's all tied in more to your campaign setting than just character gen. But it does generate a nice list of worlds for you to populate your game with.
