If you want simple and cheap, I'd recommend you use the free version of owlbear.rodeo.

Try asking it about the various frontier wars. About as accurate. :)

Yes, they need the deep space maneuver system added to them.

Nice design Alex. Curious though, where did you find the rules on 'extra capacitors' giving you additional jump range? I didn't seem to find that in High Guard.

Hi @MongooseMatt and crew. How does the current licensing work with regards to VTT content? For example, if I wanted to create an adventure and convert it to a VTT module, is that possible? What about supplementary items like tables, star ship designs, etc?

There's a tv series on Netflix called "Alien Worlds' that has some interesting ideas for ecologies and alien environments. Might be worth a watch if you're looking for some inspiration.

Yes, especially since I accidentally voted wrong ;-)

This is just the base twodsix module (which now supports Mongoose if you follow their instructions on how to adjust the options for it. See here and here.). The background is a scene loaded in with an image of charted space (you can probably find that blue one on google if you look for it).

A program like this would be a great idea.

Hi Tom, I didn't realize Worldcon was going to do tabletop sessions. Is there a schedule anywhere? I'll be there, so do let me know when you're planning to run, and I'll try to round up a few folks.

As the saying goes: 'a professional is someone who gets paid for their work.' Of course you wouldn't be paying a well established writer 5 cents a word - that low end is for 'new writers'. So unless you're re-writing around 50% of each JTAS article, it still seems low (in my opinion anyways)...

Hi Matt, 3 cents/word seems like a very low rate for the current gaming industry - that's the rate folks were getting paid in the 90s. :) Talking to some industry folks I know, the going rate these days is typically 5 to 8 cents on the low end, with 10 being more of a standard. I don't mean to...

Yes I think this is exactly how I'm going to address this, and how I see it working as well. Thanks for the detailed breakdown.

Maybe I missed it, but why does converting waste heat into gravity waves require ejected mass?

I'm late to the party but to me, gravitic heat conversion just makes sense on so many levels. I'll definitely be using it in my campaign.
