Is their low-light vision sufficiently better in your mind to warrant special rules or ability modifiers in a table top RPG? In GURPS terms it qualifies as Night Vision, which is described thus: Your eyes adapt rapidly to the darkness. You cannot see in total dark - but if you have any light at all...

Also, to what degree do shadowlands Loroi actually have improved low-light vision? Is it in line with how the Sherpa people utilize oxygen more efficiently? I'm not sure how to quantify it, but the eyes of Shadowlands Loroi adjust quickly to low-light conditions, and though they can't see in the pi...

Sori Reimadi are a subcaste of the Deinar originating Soroin? Were they a formerly independent tradition that was absorbed into the larger imperial caste system during reunification? Something like an "Everyone with this set of skills gets green armor" kind of situation? Also, to what degree do shad...

Would be nice to attach directly to the fanfic thread; keep the story with the story, you know?

Can you please configure the forums to accept .epub files as attachments? At least in the fan works board, so we can attach .epub files for the fanfics No idea what version is running, but here's how to do it on 3.0. Probably similar to what you've got up. https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.p...

These generative processes are really good at generating human forms, but I'm always amazed at how bad the symmetry and details are, in comparison to the rest of the work. They look great at first glance (I'm actually really impressed with the muscles in the legs) but then you start to notice things...

Apologies if I'm being a bit confrontational here - that is not my intention, I just had or saw a discussion of this very issue a few dozen too many times. I'm still glad that we get to talk some nuts and bolts around here. I think there are definitely some places you and I agree, even if it's not ...

Yup. Very scary... Srsly: That´s en:wp gone weird. The DLV was only a governing body for glider pilots , an administrative step towards centralization. Later Luftwaffe (after reincarnation 1935) had not much to do with that. The wp:de version reads pretty much the same; a front organization for the...

This thread is going places. :?: Um, my school english is a bit rusty - can you please "translate" to me? We're getting off topic/political/controversial. @Arioch: Please either lock or spin-off I think. I don't think the russians are really significantly better off as far as being 'outdated' goes....

...And it was more dormant stuff in both Loroi and Humans that was designed by the Soia to trigger if the two should meet. My own headcanon for Arioch's story contains a dormant telepath element. It doesn't make sense that Humans should be so abnormally telepathically inert in the absence of some f...

"An aircraft designed as a high altitude interceptor will often have poor low-altitude performance" Why does it have to fly low altitude to hit ground targets? All sorts of aircraft are designed to shoot at ground targets or sea targets from high up. You could, but it's all about trade-offs due to ...

You cannot "turn" a high altitude interceptor into a ground attack aircraft. That would be a totally different machine then. Why not? It just requires mounting a different kind of missile. D-503 has good points. Keep in mind that just because a certain platform can execute a mission, doesn't mean i...

There is (at least) one point: We´re "invisible" to the Loroi. We don't know that. That´s what Tempo said on p66. I mean, that's what she would say if she wanted to deceive Alex. I'm not saying she is lying, I'm saying we don't know. Don't forget, both the Barsam and the Historians say the Loroi ca...

I mean, has it really? Alex isn't convinced. We know that information can flow at least one way, maybe it can flow both ways and the Loroi aren't showing their hand. Doesn't mean you take a chance. Agree. He should be extremely careful. There is (at least) one point: We´re "invisible" to the Loroi....

It's been established that the Loroi can't pry secrets from Jardin's mind. So far, he has to tell them things for them to stick. I mean, has it really? Alex isn't convinced. We know that information can flow at least one way, maybe it can flow both ways and the Loroi aren't showing their hand. Wher...

Ackchyually per the NSTM, a hatch is an access opening fitted to the deck/overhead while a door is an access opening fitted to a bulkhead. And because I totally didn't double check, I also didn't learn that you can read older NSTMs online. Hatch is defined on page 600-2, or page 22 of the file whic...

... you had better show sincere respect for your passengers or you may find yourself scrubbing out a CHT tank somewhere near Adak, Alaska. It's a shore installation so you know it's not going to be VCHT, might not be so bad. You hear they're thinking about reopening NAS Adak? Pacific Pivot / near-p...

Terrans are neither the template for another species... Does not follow from: Humans are very obviously a local evolutionary development of Earth's ecology, both in reality and in the Outsider canon. Anatomically modern humans existed at the same time as the Soia, so it remains conceivable for the ...

I will say that this is a different and creative approach to the "human-looking" aliens trope in fiction. They were molded to look like us, that's all (and probably behave like us, since possession of a body type isn't very useful without the behavior patterns that go with it). Perhaps it was some ...
