After a request for planet sheets for the Minos Cluster, I started diving into the Minos Cluster information in the West End Galaxy Guide 6: Tramp Freighters, and ended up deciding to do a full conversion. Look for it soon.

Re: Work in Progress: End of the Line (Minos Cluster guide)
Working on the Adarlon subsection, I came across this:
Looks like WEG pretty accurately described Galaxy's Edge back in 1994.Across Adarlon there are a large number of elaborate theme parks which offer total immersion amusements, in which the guests carry out elaborate plots and adventures in live-action roleplaying, interacting with actors, droids, and holos. Quite a few of the Adarlonians have their homes in the parks, and spend much of their waking hours in their roles. The parks’ rules dictate that a person treat other people exactly as if they were the character they were playing at all times.

He was one of my alts back on Galaxies, and loosely adapting him made my first character in this system. Since that campaign was set in the Minos Cluster, I figured he was perfect for this cover.

This has turned out to be a larger project than I figured, but it's fun. Except for a few minor tweaks, I'm done with the planets, and on to the NPCs and ships.
Here are a couple more previews:
ETA: Posting the previews, I see that I forgot to change the font for the setback die in Axton's special ability.

When I asked you to do this, I was so not expecting this much work... I was just hoping for a planet sheet on each of the planets.... THIS IS beautiful

Re: Work in Progress: End of the Line (Minos Cluster guide)
I did say that I thought you'd like the crazy way of overdoing it that came to mind.
The guys at WEG did most of the work in composing the information. For the most part, I'm just transcribing and doing layout work. The layout stuff is the most challenging, finding images to include and putting the fade border on them, then making sure the planet's sections were laid out right to get the planet sheets on an even-numbered page like most of the recent books (especially the region and era books). Just eyeballing the number of NPCs and ships from Galaxy Guide 6, and the Minos Campaign section, this looks like it might clock in around the length of a "real" region book.
But, I've got something of a soft spot for the Minos Cluster, myself, as it was the initial setting of the first campaign I played in this system.

Re: Work in Progress: End of the Line (Minos Cluster guide)
NPCs and ships are done now. Working on transcribing the campaign section now. Then, there are a few small corrections to make, and this puppy will be ready to post.
Re: Work in Progress: End of the Line (Minos Cluster guide)
Most impressive work Nytwyng, I can't wait to see this complete! You're also inspiring me to get back to work on my campaign setting sourcebook I've been fiddling about with for some time!
