A (very) long time ago, I was reading a Dragon magazine that had a article on 3d star mapping for Traveller.
The author of the article started with the standard sub-sector 8x10 hex grid but, tilted it and allowed the use of the 3rd dimension.
It had a non-perspective yet 3d look to it and I always wanted to use the design, but, after all these years, I have lost my dragon collection let alone the article.
Does anyone remember the article and can point me to it, or better yet, have a copy?

best regards

I searched the Dragon CD-ROM collection, which includes everything up to August 1998, and couldn't find it. I did find Marc Miller's official rules for adding milk bottles to Traveller, but nothing about 3d subsector maps.

Good Sir,

That is just hilarious! It sure sounds like it was supposed to be an April Fool's issue article.


Thanks for sharing with us,

I don't know what issue it was, but, for an idea of the time frame, I was still playing D&D from the origional boxed set and they printed numbers on the back cover for the players to cut out and use as chits for random numbers......

I am sure that the dragon magazine was still in double digits (issues 60 through 90).

Dragon used to have alot of non-d&d material including articles on runequest and other such things.

It was a one page article with a sample sub-sector on it.

I was hoping some old timers may remember it.

thanks anyways
