*Defined as "you might possibly' date=' theoretically hurt someone with that, if the officer who sees it can describe how it might happen and s/he says it's a weapon."[/quote']

 

this is the smartest thing anyone has said yet in this thread

 

the right is "to confront my accusers" not "to overhear what they're saying miles and miles and miles away" cctv in place of physical presence is a violation of a fundamental right

 

not that i expect the supreme court to do anything nor for 99% of the people to care "goose stepping poltroons" isn't the half of it, Mr. Mencken

Re: Confedrate Comics

Historical note: The USS Merrimac wasn't what the CSA called that vessel when they turned it into an ironclad. When it was refitted by the Confederacy' date=' it was recommissioned as the CSS Virginia. It would most widely have been known to history by that name had the South succeeded in its bid for seccession. A Confederate hero calling himself Merrimac would be as incongruous as a Union hero calling himself Captain Confederacy. I think an alternate name is in order. It's too bad Virginia does not evoke "ironclad warship" as well as Merrimac does.

dang! you beat me to it.

Re: Evil org bases on chess pieces.

red and white was more popular through victorian times think alice thru the looking glass

knights should specialize in odd movements xdm tp etc

in real world chess a pawn is known by the file it's in not the file it started in so i wouldn't bother making them different

arabic chess has elephants instead of bishops or maybe it's rooks i forget which

La Rose

Re: Gravitational Radio possible

It's not the size that is important. It's the mass.

especially as a black hole can radiate anything

Re: Divided Skies: "Everyman Gear"? (Need suggestions.)

ok i'm confused do you want "bug out kit" or standard issue?

the two are different things for different situations

Re: Divided Skies: Premise and Background

So' date=' maybe they incorporate some functions of an astronomical observatory. Plenty of historical precedent for combining places of worship with stargazing.[/quote']

 

could be but i don't think that is part of the heritage of Islam

Re: New Product: Albrim's Curse [novella]

The funny part of the comment is the dangling participle that makes it sounds like Gran was crippled and Cursed instead of Albrim.

Guilty.

Re: New Package Deal(s)

On another note' date=' I was thinking about putting together an amphibian species package as well. Might any one have any ideas for how that might work out, or even better if anyone has their own they have written up somewhere...[/quote']

 

already done for you. go to monsters minions and marauders page 88 and 89 called the ran-tari frog/human critters

Re: Divided Skies: Premise and Background

(I need to do some research on an appropriate religious preface and name for these two colonies.)

did you mean religious practice?

the muslim world will have a problem with the direction of mecca, the direction of prayer the world will rotate and revolve so the direction will change constantly

you could put mosques on turntables but i don't think that's going to work

Re: Divided Skies: "Everyman Gear"? (Need suggestions.)

...weapon, a laser creates a conduit for the electricity which then disrupts the target's nervous system.

if it has a nervous system that uses electricity

Most weaponry is based on railguns - magnetically accelerated caseless munitions. Plasma weapons actually shoot projectiles that react with air to become plasma. Many weapons feature the ability to shoot multiple types of munition. Advanced weaponry link to bionic implants - smart guns, basically, linked to the soldier's HUD and the C4 network, etc.

anything that needs ammo will run out of ammo when most dangerous

railguns or whatever maybe the weapon of choice when everything is going well when it isn't you want something that requires as little logistic support as possible

a higher tech version of the above "bug out kit" checklist.

if that is what you want you want laser gun no ammo to run out of no ammo to lug around simplicity is best

Re: Urban Fantasy Hero

I forget the lady detective's name right now. Basically' date=' she's an American Indian, she was a police detective, she got put through a nasty initiation experience by the ghost of her grandfather which ended with her bounced from the force, and now she uses a handful of minor rituals, shamanic items (like a coup stick that lets her clout spirits as well as more material offenders), and her spiritual connections to solve crimes and fight various nasty supernatural sorts like Silvers and Dandy.[/quote']

Re: What effects would you see on a terrestial planet in a binary system?

Yes, i fuggured I may have to exagerate the visual size of the dwarf which is about .6 Sol.

 

Class Temperature in degrees Kelvin Mass (Mass of our sun = 1) Radius

(Radius of Sun=1)

Terrestrial Equivalent Orbit

in AUs (life)

Lifetime in billions of years K5 4350 .670 .684 .39 long

Considering the distance I may have to exagerate the visuals of its size to vary between 2'' at its most distant point to 4'' at its nearest. I can balme it on the atmosphere or magic or something.

 

Using this for help at world builders

cool site!

Re: Divided Skies: "Everyman Gear"? (Need suggestions.)

what other thread? url please

'exobytes'? 'exo-' means 'oiutside' 'exa-' is the prefix for 10 ^ 18 'yotta-' is the prefix for 10 ^ 24 why not use that

they have to carry food turning poison---most other planets' critters will be poison---to food is impractical

helmets will be needed most planets will have no atmosphere or poisonous

HUDs---everything will\can display to the HUD

recyclers for everything poop to food, urine and breath water vapor to water etc etc etc

the 'abandon vehicle' weapon will be laser everything else needs ammunition, even plasma weapons

AIR!! and some way to carry it light

Re: Gravitational Radio possible

signal to noise ration will defeat it until they can vibrate planets

or maybe stars

Re: Jupiter Impact!!?!

somebody thought jupiter would make a nice ornament and drilled a hole through it.

Re: New Package Deal(s)
