Re: Miscellaneous Umiak/misc. races question-and-answer thre

The occupation forces were perplexed by the ability of captured populations to wage an effective insurgency even after they were rounded up and monitored. At one point the Morat began to suspect that the Neridi were also secretly telepathic. Oh my goodness, were the Loroi mind controlling/body swap...

Re: Miscellaneous Umiak/misc. races question-and-answer thre

In Warhammer 40k, GURPS and many other universes there are special munitions that create electro-magnetic pulses that short out cyborgs and machines. Would such ammunition types be effective against Umiak ground forces; or would the grubs have sufficient shielding built into their cybernetics to pro...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Sufficiently Advanced

Oh god, that shit is priceless. Oh please please please have Alex go full Q on their blue asses. Have him take away Fireblade's psychokinesis and give it to Shoe Girl (Cloud). Have him start giving them random hair colors with stripes, polka dots, plaid, the works. Sky's the limit here baby, let's s...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Sufficiently Advanced

Have you seen GURPS Psionics? It offers a lot of interesting content involving Telepathy including a "reflective" upgrade to the mind shield which bounces any attack back at the attacker. Mind Shield see p. B70 This advantage is so useful that GMs may wish to even allow it to nontelepaths in a campa...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Sufficiently Advanced

The concept that humans are Cthulhu is a strange one, and difficult to pull off. However, I believe that you have captured that with such a Lovecraft element even simple communication would be a difficult, if not potentially lethal

Re: [Fan Fiction] The pale horse (Updated: 03/02/2016)

As you say, such mundane methods might suffice. Yet I hold out hope for an alternative mechanism of more troubling implication.

Been playing too much Darkest Dungeon, everything I read is in the Ancestor's voice. Such dulcet tones!

Re: [Fan Fiction] The pale horse (Updated: 03/02/2016)

Outsider uses a modified GURPS in which the Historians who are up to tech level 12 don't seem to have telepathy. The same can be told about the Dreiman who were somewhere between around tech level 14 iirc. The only known faction who had Telepathy are the Soians who were at least tech level 15. Ah, ...

Re: [Fan Fiction] The pale horse (Updated: 03/02/2016)

I think a confederation is the direction the TCA was actually heading in cannon. And why would it be an upgraded feudal society? The USA was a confederation before the constitution was written. Er, as far as I know in Arioch's Terran cannon, governmental types besides Democracy were not supposed to...

Re: [Fan Fiction] The pale horse (Updated: 03/02/2016)

What's with all the confederation talk? Confederation would be the upgraded version of a feudal society, for example the Loroi civilization. The upgraded form of democracy would be federation. Was there a war followed by a severe government downgrade for the Terrans? Awesome new story, btw. Cannot w...

Re: Master of Orion

I believe the game is still in it's early stages, there are a few more races to be released.

Hopefully with all of this MoO fervor Outsider will be getting a bump in traffic. Patreon as well.

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror (Completed)

Someone else will have to figure out just how much power that would take to generate, though. I know right? The power requirements for all of these ultra tech devices is so mindbogglingly great it makes my head spin. Even a weak planetary radiation shield would require stupendous amounts of energy....

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror (Completed)

MOO2 has several flavors of planetary shields. Arioch has dropped hints as to some type of super-tech planetary shielding used on radiated worlds by the Soia so as to make planets hospitable enough for further terraforming. I think planetary shields sound like an awesome sci-fi technology!
