It may be useful to provide a РІР‚СљrecommendРІР‚Сњ map key for those that are less familiar with Traveller map symbols. I am an old school Traveller van and had little difficulty using the stamps to align with the generally accepted charting and mapping keys. I followed the guides example of using solid and hollow version to denote the presence of water and/or atmosphere. I would add the skull in with a second set or as an extra. For a basic set you may want to consider the Star Burst, and planets, and bases. In summary, the only stamp that felt out place was the Star Field. I can see not including this in the basic set, due to it not being critical to making your maps. I imagine this will be similar in traveler. They cannot resist going to the spot on the map with the РІР‚СљDangerРІР‚Сњ symbol.

Danger Skull РІР‚вЂњ This is one from the fantasy set that has been really useful in luring my players into danger.System Starburst РІР‚вЂњ I really like this stamp to denote the presence of water or not.Bases РІР‚вЂњ I know the difference in the Navy Base vs scout base etc but it may be nice to give some examples in the guide.Planets - I like the planet stamps and the idea of using circled and non-circled stamps instead of colors to denote the presence an atmosphere.I even tried to use it with the asteroid stamps and didnРІР‚в„ўt like how it turned out. Star Field РІР‚вЂњ I tried it out and didnРІР‚в„ўt have much use for the stamp.Plus, my old man vision had a hard time seeing what I was marking. I tried using a fine point sharpie first and had to use one of my wife PIGMA MICRON 1 black ink pens to give it sharp edges. LED stamp РІР‚вЂњ Loved it, but I had to change up pens.It was a surprise how much I like using it. I plan to use the stamps for my home brew and Trojan Reach campaigns.Р”Р€.) Which stamps seem essential, and which (if any) would you omit from a basic set?Р”Р‡irst off, I love the LED stamp and would like a larger version of it. The stamps are not quicker, but create a unique looking map. I use either Traveller Map or IOS app sectors to draw and print my maps right now. This makes up for my own lack in artistic ability to draw fantasy maps.

I could create good maps with ease and speed. The look of your stamps is fantastic and really helped me draw my fantasy maps. I am going to work on the stamps some more next weekend.Р”Сћ.) Are they a useful tool for mapping a sub-sector? Right now, it is easier and cleaner in appearance for me to draw my routes by hand and use pre-printed hexes. It will take more practice on my part to get to where I feel comfortable using the stencils on my maps. I like the stamps but found the stencils required more skill than I currently have to create a РІР‚СљgoodРІР‚Сњ looking effect. Questions from the Play Test Instructions:Р”РЋ.) Did you enjoy using the stamps and stencils?
