@ducki@berries.space hmm, seems like we actually have different goals. My lifelong ambition is to drink all fruit, like a fruit bat spider, stealing it from its house and eating its insides with my proboscis.

In The Expanse the moon is little more than a really really big orbital base and mining camp. It's subservient to Earth and isn't at all sovereign in its own right. Mars is the rival of Earth and a very advanced military power. Its terraforming effort lays the groundwork for a relentless fanaticism. Not sure whether the jump drive would disrupt Martian society quite like it would the wormhole nexus.

"D&D is about killing monsters and taking their stuff."

idk, in my favorite D&D games, PCs treat combat as a last resort. But then these aren't D&D 5e or Pathfinder games so maybe I'm just mad that "D&D" narrows nearly 50 years of different editions to the past ten.

I've gotten to a point where the story is a Part 2 and Part 1 is in an earlier issue (which I didn't have). Fortunately, it's available online https://archive.org/details/Far_Frontiers_v07_1986-Winter/
The story is "Iron" by Poul Anderson and this is apparently where the tiger people are from (the Knziti, rather than Aslan, but same thing from what I can tell).
A favorite about the story so far is that fission is outdated and Belters live in spinning cylinder-stations around Alpha Centauri A (meaning no gravity manipulation).

Reading through this book I'm getting an idea of having plenty of psychic hive mind races in a #Traveller game. Specifically, "Point Man" by Timothy Zahn.
Also, I love that artwork. Looks like an Aslan I guess.

Here's my first experience with AI Dungeon 2: https://paste.systemli.org/?198737801f69b3a6#FYpN4TizsJdB1oyjRbmuNWf29oHJwN7f37jiTLGnf1ZB

finished running Carrion Crown session. Feeling better about it.

Made a quadrant with @traveller
The primary subsector is the top-left.

I have noticed recently that the notes that I place in parentheses may be disrupting the faction coloring (determined by brackets). So I will have to find a new place to put those notes or squish them under their system.

Hmm, what if I used #CepheusLight but added in generic Civilian and War Events from These Stars Are Ours? Maybe just once every two terms so it doesn't cause skill bloat, and if you learn a skill from this it starts at 0-level.
