RingworldRPG : Message: RE: [RingworldRPG] "2300 AD" stellar data

The Universer RPG has a yahoo group http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Universe_RPG/

They had a good 3D XYZ map in their files section.

I have software called Astronsynthesis - provides a good 3D map and you can move around it on the screen during a game. And you can import most XYZ data or star maps.

They also have the Kepner data set that you can import into Astro 2 here - http://www.nbos.com/download/download-astro.htm

I've got this and I think it's quite a good piece of software. I was one of the testers for the 2nd version.

... Never heard of that game, sorry. One big advantage of "2400 A.D."'s star list is that it has x, y and z coordinates, making mapping quite easy....
