Re: Ready Player One Map
Each Face of the cube could have a different Theme. SCIFI Fantasy Superhero Historical Non-Human ??? You could use either the same game rules - Traveller, D20, or D100 would all work well - D20 and D100 would work especially well as many of those generas have already been published. You don't even ...

Re: Ready Player One Map
Here is Sector 2 according to the map Sector 2 is right below Sector 1, which I have not detailed yet. Sector 2 is a scale model of the Solar System from the Sun out to Neptune's orbit, turns out, the Solar System is 10 light hours across. The Earth on this simulation is in its natural state, no bui...

Re: Ready Player One Query?
Sector 3 is the Traveller RPG sector. In this sector are some worlds from the Solomani Rim setting, each system is truncated, with most being one subsector across (1 light hour) with just enough room for the habitable zone where the Mainworld orbits, and for a gas giant if the system is supposed to ...

Re: Laboratory Ship Fuel Tanks
To me, the bigger issue is what to do with a lab ship. I like to have a scientist in a my traveller crew, but it is difficult to work the ship into a campaign. A full time science campaign sounds boring, and it would be hard to pay the mortgage. Why is that? All they would have to do is invent new ...

Each sector is 10 light hours on a side. One sector is for the Star Wars Galaxy and all the planets therein, a...

Re: Would it be a war-crime?
I guess the topic thread is trying to elicit a value judgement, and we are supposed to debate whether we should have it in our role playing session.

Re: Would it be a war-crime?
Imagine the "Love Boat" being disguised to look like a Military Destroyer.


So how do you pull off this disguise?

Re: Rogue 'planet' discovered
High density feels like it fits with high magnetism. So - high metallic content? Not necessarily, hydrogen compresses a lot when under pressure. And then it becomes metallic. There's a theory that the core of Jupiter consists of metallic hydrogen. So it would have a larger metallic hydrogen core th...

How to convert? You now have FTL subspace communication. Works for Star Trek and Star Wars. Can anyone use it or is it the plaything of governments and corporations? You now have Transfer Booths.
