Traveller System Update 28 - World Data

I felt like getting back to this for a bit. Originally, I was going to start adding some stuff from the World Builder's Handbook but, after finally finding that (the Mongoose version, sadly I just have the PDF but the book is too $$ for me!), and looking at how it did something, I remembered that the Scuts book also had more details. Specifically, I was looking at calculating the gravity for the world. And there is a World Data table on page 48. 

It is now added to the software. I've not finished adding my data, nor added that to the planet details yet but probably will over the weekend later. Meaning I may add a new "planet data" service that this is just the start of. I want to add those quirks about society, the physical details like albedo maybe. And eventually create the animal encounter tables. With events. At least that is the current plan.


I also got the Wondrous Worlds book and will see about doing a preview. Yes, I do seem to do a bit of world building. And probably have far too many books for stuff like that. On the other hand...
