An other Traveller preperation:
Are there any resources about natrual resources, that concievably can be mined in one system and shipped to other systems.
I mainly need it as flavour texts, for encounters with miners or as to what freight is about. I don't want to invent pages of unobtanium names. I could just pick some element or combination of elements at random, but i want to avoid player questions like "how can it cost so much, if it can be distilled in large quantities from <whatever causes headaches later, if i declare it to be rare>", or the players knowing that it is flameable, when this does not fit the plot.
My current plan would be to pick arbitrary elements, and look them up in wikipedia, and see if they fit, but it would be more convenient if i had a resource where i can look things up the other way round. Starting with commonness/likely price, handling characcteristics (flammability/radioactivity/aggregate state ect) and get some minerals from there.
Any ideas? One mans groundfloor is an other mans earthmissle @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Johannes Trimmel @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
