Reviewer: Jimmie W. Pursell Jr.

"Welcome to Diaspora." The Astrogator's Guide to the Diaspora Sector provides the MegaTraveller gamemaster scores of worlds with which to work, as well as the political and military background of the sector.

Set in the Hard Times era of MegaTraveller, the guides lists the UWP of every one of the 476 worlds in the Diaspora sector. Additionally, data is given for both the year 1124 and 1129, with guidelines for pro-rating values in between. Major worlds in each subsector are described in short paragraphs, organized by subsector.

The now typical three panel screen contains the map of the sector, along with a political map and a chart showing the insignia of several organizations within the sector.

Rooted in the various descriptions are numerous scenario leads which can be expanded by an enterprising GM into fully fleshed-out scenarios.

The guide is a wealth of information for MegaTraveller players and the $5.50 price tag makes it almost irresistible.
