Traveller in Second Life
Second Life was (is) a wonderful place - a persistent, single shard, shared virtual world where you could (can) do petty much what you want. Here are a few of the things I got up to.
Traveller Map in SL
We were doing a lot of work on 3D data visualisation, starting with getting Google Maps into SL. Then I thought why no The Traveller Map. Joshua Bell was actually working for Linden Lab (SL's creators) at the time! You could stand on the map and zoom i to anywhere in the Imperium.
The Empress Marava
The Empress Marava is a standard Traveller Fat Trader. I built it in Second Life, and then ported it OpenSim - the open source version of Second Life. Probably still on my hard drive somewhere!
Landed at a space port. The trick in SL was that the Marava stayed still but you rezzed what you wanted around it!

Low berths!

In space - everything de-rezzed!
