On Jim's Modified Generation System:

One possibility to consider for worlds with Tainted atmospheres is that there
is a native "minor" race; this species is very likeley to not notice the taint
(in fact, it might be beneficial to them).  If this is the case, there should
be no negative DM for thin tainted, standard tainted, and dense tainted
atmospheres, and no TL minimum.

The other thing I noticed was the negative starport DM on worlds with
very small populations.  This should be generally true, but exceptions
do exist --- the resort world with nearly no permanent residents but a
Class A or B port; the mining outpost with a few thousands of
inhabitants and a very high traffic level.

All in all, nice work.  The world generation is one thing that has a
good chance of being changed in T:TNE; so it is possible that this will
be imprpoved for the next incarnation of Traveller.


On Avery:

If Avery is Strephon's clone (and even if he is not) he is likeley to be
raised in Archduke Norris' household; subject to what is most likeley
the same sort of environment as any "normal" future archduke.  This is
probably very similar to the environment in which Strephon was raised.

By "becoming pretty obvious as he grows older" I was referring to the
physical resemblance, not intellectual/emotional.  It should be pretty
obvious if Avery is the spitting image of the Last Emperor of the
Third Imperium ...
