Not a particularly useful update. I was having problems with adding the systems to the subsector so that clicking the subsector details would give you a list of all the systems attached to it. But there was something screwy and could not figure it out, so dropped it for a few days.
Came back and still having that issue but finally figured it out, I think. But in that process, I decided I needed to consolidate the migrations to get the DB back to working as I had messed around a bit and things were wonky. I saved off the existing DB, deleted all the migrations and created a new one that gets the DB set up correctly. That also meant all my previously entered data was gone. But: I made a backup, so I exported most of that data & imported it in and that seemed to be okay. I may add those scripts to the source control but that may be starting on the infringement part of copyright, so I probably cannot do that.
Anyway - almost back to where I want to be to start adding the new stuff: create all the planets for a system. Go through various resources such as the Mongoose World Builder book and see what I can add from that (and maybe that will make more sense for me for the stellar stuff. For a SF nerd I still have too vague an idea about a lot of that!)
Slower going at this point than it was in the past. But I am also only doing this when I feel like it and have time. I've realized over the years that you can't do things you really don't want to, but I also counter that with knowing how lazy I can be. But that also goes into running games: sometimes it is really hard for me to run games, and I'll be running 2 shortly (1, the Corsairs game, already had session 1, see my last post. Brass Rings is coming up in a week or two for the Monday group). I get nervous about running games as I've mentioned way too many times before, yet I still run them. Though I really think I make a better GM-support person: I can create the maps, do some world building, generate NPCs. but running things is sadly a bit nerve wracking for me. And yes, it is all in my head! Sad part about being sometimes self-aware is not being able to do anything about it.
But as always, I digress. The other thing I noticed when saving the project to source control was that I am also saving off the DB. I'm going to add that to the ignore list of things to save as this will possibly overwrite anyone else's database when they download the source files. Something I just did not think about. I also use another tool to poke at the SQLite database. If anyone wants to know what that is, let me know!
And finally, one of my COTI friends has entered hospice which is disheartening. I've never met him, nor really exchanged more than a few emails and DMs over on COTI over the years but he is one of my followers here, as well as exceptionally excited by Traveller and a valued contributor to T5. So that just sucks basically.
Sorry to end on a sad note.
