I don't recall what I was thinking when I drew this. But if I had to guess, I guess wanted to see if I could draw a floor and make it look good... Meh. XD
Yeah, I created it mostly out of nostalgia...
There used to be a Google+ community with the same purpose. When G+ closed, many groups flocked to all sorts of platforms (all walled gardens, mind you), but many communities also died in the process.
I decided to create !micro_maps@ttrpg.network. I even created a first post.
A place for all those doodles in the corner of a page in your notebook. :)
The easiest Traveller version is definitely the one from Mongoose.
Also, you should check out Seth Skorkowsky’s overview videos:

It's already made in JS (but without a canvas).
So, OP: I guess it's already Free and it's already Open Source. Just save the HTML page somewhere.
From your last sentence, perhaps a few of Seth Skorkowsky’s videos fit the bill:

But then I have to ask: What do you think is a better player? How does your table work? What kind of games does your group prefer? What do you all appreciate the most from the game?
Some groups are delighted when everyone has a great backstory, while others yawn at it. Some groups enjoy voice acting while some of us don’t bother as long as you stay in character when needed. Some like full immersion and others mostly like to hang around with friends. Some like the sandbox while others wish for a carefully thought out plot. Some like hack n’ slash and others prefer political intrigue and social interactions.
How do you describe a fun, a great session?

One of these days, I'll buy Paranoia. I've heard about it and it sounds like something I'll enjoy. It's already on my wishlist.
Today, however, I realized I had the Red Clearance Edition wishlisted, but not the Core Book. And with that realization, comes the admission that I have no clue what's what.
So... does anyone here know the difference?
Sure, Red Clearance says we'd be Troubleshooters, but I don't know what that means. Would I still need the Core Book? Or is it just another flavour?

I now that we can't know for sure what They are, but some theories are easier to explain than others.
The most common premise -Aliens- covers things nicely. Very advanced tech may very well block the sun and our satellites somehow.
Entities made of shadowstuff can also explain stuff, because... magic! Same goes for demons.
But what about other theories? How would zombies be able to blotch away the sun? How would giant insects disrupt out cellphone and GPS networks?
Have you had to explain Their "nature" to your players? (or yourself?)
And here I was thinking that no Traveller/Cepheus players had made it to the Fediverse..!
