OK, I've misremembered.

I do have Skyggesider by Ask Agger from the periodical Fonix [The Phoenix], no.6 Jan/Feb 1995, but it's not Traveller.  No idea how I came across it or where it came from or why I kept it!

For those who care the title literally means Shadow Pages - although it's formal English title is Sea of Darkness from 'Spiltraef X' which I assume is a games convention.  Apparently it's a cut down version of the original Sea of Darkness which you can find here if you fancy brushing up on your Danish: http://alexandria.dk/data?scenarie=126

It describes itself as a psychological drama set in space and was apparently popular enough that it ran at several games events over the next five years.

As far as I can understand its using the VP-system (and set in the VP universe Anno 2415) and I think that means Vendepunkt system.  If that's correct Google translate tells me that means 'turning point' but it kind of sounds more like a points buy system.  I've not, quickly, been able to find anything about it.

My guess is that it would be easy enough to translate into Traveller terms if you a) spoke Danish - or were prepared to do a fair bit of work with Google Translate, and b) knew the original system.  (Though maybe even that latter would be required with a decent English translation.)

Anyway, my apologies for a false lead especially as it's utterly unconnected with the original question.

But it does make me wonder, are there any Traveller publications in languages *other* than: English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Finnish and Swedish?  By publication I mean printed book, PDF (with 'imprint' details), licenced translator, third party title, periodical article or fanzine.  Although I'd be interested in web pages or 'other' PDFs.

Oh, and for anyone who cares, yesterday I finished entries for all the White Dwarf Traveller articles (and The Travellers comic strip) for the 2nd volume of periodical bibliography.  Sad holidays that I have... :-)

If it helps, I've never heard of it.  I have a Swedish fanzine from the 80s (special Traveller issue of Morgonstärnen), but the only thing I have in Danish, I think, is a photocopy of an adventure I've been meaning to translate for a while.  I'd need to dig it out though so will try to look for it tomorrow.  Stryk something???

While, I think about it, I'd love to practice my Czech on Traveller material.  Does anyone know of any Czech Traveller web pages or the like?

I love this description of T5:

"Autorem RPG Traveller 5 je Marc Miller a tato pátá edice je nejkomplexnější příručkou Travellera, jaká kdy vyšla. Obsahuje 656 stran pro tvorbu postavy, konstrukci hvězdné lodi, sestavení hvězdného systému i celého světa, vytváření mimozemšťanů - to vše dohromady poskytuje obsáhlý materiál, který vystačí sci-fi Game Masterům na řadu let."

That 'nejkomplexnější' in the first line means 'most comprehensive', but knowing the form  'nej.....  nější'  is the superlative or 'mostest' of anything, you can see why I fell for the false friend 'most complex edition'!

Or maybe it's not a false friend! :-)

The translation is interesting for sure.

        The formatting of the list (which I did) the "Tre Uger til Opstandelse" is the name of a book, supplement, or magazine. My google searches came up with the same thing yours did. Google Translate came back and said the language is Danish, and means "Three weeks to the resurrection", which sounds to me like an adventure.

        This is the original page. Or at least wayback machine copy of the page. Based upon the notes at the top of the page it's probably a private work.

        Still, I'm hoping someone on this fine list has a little more information.

Based on this list, if you Search Tre Uger, the listed planets and systems
appear to have that as their source. Maybe that's the magazine or book itself,
or the name of the system?

It's a Scandinavian language though, so maybe it was never printed outside of
the local language? I didn't get anything but Wiki hits when I searched the
title initially.

            Does anyone have any further idea of what this book / magazine is or
