As of today, I'm starting a little diary detailing odd moments in my Minecrafting experience, from my character's point of view. The first of these will come in a batch, while the rest are likely to come one at a time. ---Entry 1, January 16th It is now a week since I became sick of the sight of snow, and, in a fit either of brilliance or madness, abandoned the mainland in my small wooden boat - a boat I had not built, much less used, until about an hour before I pushed off from the shore.
The following is the list of traits that can be selected at the beginning of Starscape II. Choose carefully for maximum coolness. --- Races get 6 points. This list is a work in progress. If you have ideas for other traits that should be available, write them up and send them to Xomeron! Trait: Cost: Description Physical Natural Radios: 1: Your species has either evolved naturally, or altered itself to include, natural radio antennae, obsoleting spoken words and allowing for n
The following is a brief overview of the technologies you can expect everyone to have. --- Every race has access to the following technologies; this means they have the science and industry needed to mass-produce, use, and understand them. Scanners Electromagnetic sensors: From radio waves all the way up to X-Rays, every race has an understanding of how to build these. These include devices such as infrared scanners, radar, LIDAR, and the like. Gravimetric Sensors: Finely calib
This document outlines the resources in Starscape, and how you acquire or spend them. --- Starscape features only two Resources; Money and CHON. Money is a representative value of how much of an empire’s economy something takes to build and support, while CHON(Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen) represents how much a ship takes at creation, and needs periodically. These resources are gathered on Planets, Moons, Asteroid Belts, and generated in Habitats. Planets While a very wid
This document gives a pretty good overview of the principles of shipbuilding. --- Spaceships vary wildly in their designs, based on their intended function, however, they can generally be classified according to their size and intended function. However, there are no standard ship classes; if you like, a good general principle is to build your ships along real-world Navy ship designs. However, your species’ biology and culture will influence this, and you’re free to design your ships howev

This is the most awesomely ridiculous ridiculously awesome song ever. Also, surprise mandolin. Can't get by without surprising somebody with a mandolin in your hand, you know?
I've finished my exams for the semester, and to celebrate, it's time for this month's Musician Spotlight. This month, I'd like to start things off with a clarification of the term "winning." Winning does not look like this. This is what torpedoing your career and ruining your life looks like. That is not the face of a victorious man, in any sense of the word. This is what winning looks like. If you want a slightly more accurate version, look up the videos of one of the songs from his album
Since Xom (or, if you like, King of Shadows, though that only applies to shadows inside of time, so I'm quite out of his jurisdiction) is deathly allergic to blogs, I'm going to be helpful and post the Syrrinx tech he's provided specs on in this blog entry. SHIPS Class Name: Elemental Class Size: Fighter Class Function And Description: Space Superiority Fighter, meant to destroy enemy fighters and bombers, and provide close support to Syrrinx Ground Troops. Trans Atmospheric. Class Weapons: Th
I really wish - and yes, I know I'm a couple of decades too late for this to actually happen - but I really wish Yes would have decided whether to be infuriating or awesome, and then stuck with one of those things. They sort of bounced between great prog rock songs and the most annoyingly repetitive vocals this side of a political debate, and it's a bit like a minefield when you're about to listen to a Yes song you haven't heard before.
