I use Chrome in my games.

Oh no! Eloise won't be getting a letter for a while.

I love this! Most modern films induce helplessness in their characters by having their phones taken away from them, crushed underfoot or lose power and/or signal at the most crucial time. Heretic has the protagonists lose both power and signal in a house with metal walls. I like that a player...

I've used Roll20 with Discord and its easy to set up.

I like what some of the previous posters put up there. To quote phavoc, "it really comes down more to marketing than any actual definition". There is no Imperial Mandate regulating what a Sector Wide Merchant Line can be, or even exist. If some scrappy Travellers get a hold of a 500 ton Maru...

Call of Cthulhu This reminds me of Credit Rating in Call of Cthulhu. If the game doesn't require an exacting economy of purchasing than I think it would work. Since your describing wealth, or lack of it (In Serious Debt, Making do, Struggling, Working Class, Middle Class, Comfortable then it...

I'll look that up!

Good point! If I kept the arcologies flat they would be like the Walled City of Kowloon, but if I built up it would be less dense. JTAS 15 has an article by Ben King called "Under the Domes" that shows how a domed city on Ralhe operates.

Imagine 5000 arcologies, each of them 10 million people! The World Builder's Handbook states, "In some arcologies, the population density may be in the millions per square kilometre and such giant edifices often measure their population density in people per cubic kilometre...
