   Hi gang,
     As my Internet access has been *spoitty* at best over the last few years, I'm unsure if I ever sent this off or not, so here goes...
     Having read the news about the big new planet discovered that was, IIRC, 1 1/2 or 2 x Earth's diameter, for a laugh I decided to look through Trav World Generation in my MT Ref's book to see what the lay of the land was. As it turned out, the Trav tables didn't make allounces for *really* bigass worlds. Not a bvig deal, I know, as it *is* just a game :)
     Well, since Trav was deficient, I decided I needed to work up some tables for generating extra-large worlds.
   
     Once a Size A  Large World has been generated in the normal fashion, roll 1D. If this 1D roll results in a 6, then roll either 2D+9 (giving results of B-M) or 3D+8 (giving results of B-S) to determine the Size Code of the Huge World.
   
  Size   General                   Minimum     Maximum
  Code  Description              Diameter     Diameter     Notes

  (1)   1 1/2x Earth's diameter
  (2)   2x Earth's diameter
  (3)   2 1/2x Earth's diameter
  (4)   3x Earth's diameter
   
   
     There ya go!
     Enjoy.
