Duke Bushido Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) I dont usually so PDF reading, sure; I am glad I have them, and in cases like T5, where I haven't been able to find affordable paper copies. It isnt even an aesthetics thing (though it kind of is that as well). The fact is that, even though it is part of my job and hanging out here, stafing at a screen is actively unpleasant for me. It isnt too far removed from staring into a 15 watt light bulb for hours on end. Unpleasant. I am not going to type out all my thoughts on T5- so far I have more than I ever want to type (which is saying something, I think), and I am exactly 54 pages into this 656 pqge book. I did want to take a moment to share my excitement that there is now an official size for the one-credit coin. (Yes; Miller seems,to have taken a few tips on how-to-Steve EDIT: page count reference; not a control freak reference. Thanks for the PM, Hero. ). For what it is worth, on page 54, we have a nice size chart (presumably to get us Americans a quick metric refresher) demonstraring that the one-credit coin is 7 milimeters. This actually seems kind of small, doesn'r it? Well, I thought it seemed rather small. At least until I scanned across the chart and discovered that the average human is 1.5 MIlLIMETERS tall! Coins don't seem so small now, do they? Edited May 5, 2023 by Duke Bushido I was alerted to a clarity issue that could be construed as denigration. Hopefully it is fixed now. assault, Opal and Joe Walsh 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted May 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) For whatever it is worth, even 1.5 meters roughly 5 ft tall. I have a half-sister that is 4'10. It just seems really, really awful.... Must be the constant high-G thrust or something.... Edited May 5, 2023 by Duke Bushido Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjalund Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Recall that this average human include Vilani who may be shorter than Solomani Duke Bushido 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assault Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Related to the combat system, just like Hero's standard humans are 2 metres. I still like the 4.35 mile wide coins and tiny humans. Was the problem with the units in the PDF, or a Duke's phone issue? Duke Bushido 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know why the phone cannot accept the existence of this unit of measure. Should be fixed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Ruggels Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 How big is the phone, in millimeters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted May 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 6 and a half inches worth of kilometers. (Which said phone just changed to milimeters. Again! Yeah, I will fix it before I post. Ballpark it at something like a hundred and seventy kilometers, just eyballing it. In it's day, it was stupidly, eye-turningly large. Now everyone is making phone calls on their televisions.
