For MegaTraveller? There is none (that I know of--they may have released the first of a series of books on non-humans that have been talked about lately), yet. If you can find them, you can use the old "Classic" Traveller :-) Alien Modules, if you want to adapt them to MegaTraveller (actually, there's not that much work involved). >(b) where, if any, can I get ahold of programs to generate starmaps and >Traveller characters automatically? You can get some basic software from the archives of the Traveller Mailing List (if you want to join the list, send a request to traveller-request@metolius.wr.tek.com). The archives are available via anonymous FTP from sunbane.engrg.uwo.ca (129.100.4.12). Look in the (I think) pub/traveller/software directory (the archives were just re- organized, so my memory may be faulty). -- Brent INTERNET: woodsb@gn.ecn.purdue.edu USNAIL: 2818 S.
