Please help me figure out what needs updating. If you see anything that I've missed, please comment.

  • World Tags - 40 new tags and roll changes from d6 and d10 (for up to 60 results) to d100
  • Temperature - update table distribution but rolls stay the same
  • Population - wording changes in table, rolls stay the same
  • Tech Level - wording / distribution changes in table, rolls stay the same
  • NPCs - several table changes based on the new 'One-Roll NPCs' content. Also:
    • NPC manner / deal outcome - totally new table and rolls
    • NPC motivation / want - overhaul of motivation table and rolls
    • NPC power / hook - totally new table and rolls
  • Alien social structure - modified table and rolls
  • Alien physical features - these appear to have been moved to the new 'Beasts' content. It seems reasonable that each race of sentient aliens would get physical details from the Beasts table, and that an additional collection of beasts could be rolled up as well.

Completely New Stuff:

  • Additional Points of Interest (local system features)
  • Places
  • Beasts
  • Patrons
  • Stats for human NPCs of specific classes
  • Stats for robots & VIs
  • Name generators

I think you got all of the new things in the new version listed here.
If i had a suggestion for the update, maybe allow for an optional 10x10 sector size. Or maybe custom sector sizes?

@Obsol - the code that makes the sector map work took a lot of fiddling. This request would require a fair amount of new code. Enhancing it this way would be really cool, but before I consider new features, I want to prioritize modeling the new rules.

I've opened an enhancement issue to capture your suggestion, though: #9

Thanks for reviewing the change list.

If you need tables manually transcribing into the SQL file, I'm happy to do a couple. Or have you written automation for that?
