With enough baud, it could actually be one person in two places at once!

Here is a map of sectors 1, 2, and 3. Each square is 1 light year across.

Well Heinlein used that idea in "Time for the Stars". Tom and Pat were telepath pairs. One stayed on Earth and the other was sent off in a torch ship to look for new real estate. Telepathy does not obey the speed of light, so is instant. This let the results get back to Earth as soon as the explore...

What if there was a pair of identical twins that could communicate telepathically with each other over interstellar distances, lets say up to a distance of 100 parsecs. Lets further suppose that this ability came in the form of two 13 year old girls named Sarah and Ivy, and the PCs discovered this p...

Here is the nearest destination outside the Solar System

Assuming there's some economic value in it to colonize the moons. Floating cities would have the advantage that they could move out of the way of maybe a meteor strike, or the dark side of the moon when a solar flare is predicted. They would be a good place to refuel your starship, they could sell ...

Makes one wonder why the character gets the SOC score and not the society. Different societies may have different opinions about specific individuals based on the previous experience with them. On one planet a character might be very popular, and on another, he might not be, so why should a characte...

According to the list below, was no five-year period when George Washington was the richest person in the US (or the colonies immediately before independence). John Hancock was the richest in 1790, but he was never the president. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_richest_Americans_in_history Th...

These are creatures that evolved in a gas giant as opposed to just living there. Humans didn't evolve to live in space either, that is why they wear spacesuits.

Washington wasn't a farmer, he and his family were major landowners with his father holding County Sheriff's position. Washington also got commissioned into the Colonial forces with his last rank as Colonel. ( Got stymied on getting a British Officer's commission.) After that he expanded his holdin...

George Washington trivia: adjusting for inflation, he was the richest US president in history (with the possible exception of the current occupant of the White House, whose finances are opaque). If Kennedy had outlived his father, he would have been the wealthiest; his share of old Joe's estate wou...

So do space pirates swing from a rope when they go through a cutting airlock?

What about this baron?


Could the Third Imperium have anyone like him, in a science fiction sort of way?

Washington's abilities didn't help when he was trying to gain a commission with the British army, he was turned down everytime. But with his connections he managed to get commissions in the colonial armies. (Governor Robert Dinwiddie was a big part of Washington's advancements.) Natural abilities a...

It's possible technologically, but the question comes down to "why?" It will be riskier and more expensive to have floating cities than it would to locate the colonies on moons, or use larger asteroids to create habitats (or even build O'Neil or other types of colonies). I've read PA's Bio series, ...

Here is the completed Solar System. the starting point of this campaign setting.

Well they could live on floating cities (Bespin??) or Drinaxian in nature. gravity control allows no thrust to be felt, so maybe the interior of the city is always at 1g. As long as the system never went down then they could live on a floating city inside the gas giant. In the campaign, I'm working...

Suppose the main world of a system was an inhabited gas giant, suppose that it not only was inhabited but had billions of inhabitants, lets say it was a World similar to Jupiter but in the habitable zone of a Sun like star, and it had 4 rocky luna sized worlds, plus 50 smaller moons down to asteroid...

Thrawn rose to his position of power because of his merit, not because of who his parents were! Having a High SOC score is based on who your parents were, not how smart you are. I'll give you an example of two Georges, George Washington and King George the Third, one led his troops into battle, the...
