Omniverse One

The stats are done, I've written all but one of the news entries and all that's left apart from that is to choose pictures to go with them. So I should be able to post the turn later today.

You mention "magic". Is this really some form of advanced technology that makes the effects look magical or is it really more esoteric? I guess is the magic here merely Clarke's Law tech or is it something that's physics defying? Depends on how you look at it. The Grimoire of Irkutsk was ...

In an attempt to give my readers/game participants some insight into both Nova Mundi and what I laughably call the creative process behind it, here are some notes/half-formed ideas on interstellar/galactic stuff: === Transit Horizon: The boundary that defines the border between the "inside"...

Just to let everyone know I'm still working on the turn, fret ye not. Apologies for the delay!

I've got everyone's Actions now, so keep your eyes peeled while I work on the turn, which I'm hoping to get out by the end of the week. I feel like pushing the boat out a bit and make the news a bit more "flavoursome".

Heretic has sent in their turn (plus he was busy with NaNoWriMo before), and while Mather has had IRL stuff to deal with, I'm confident that when he does hand his turn in, it will have been worth waiting for. I'm certainly open to the prospect of new players, but I'm not sure how we'd go about acqui...

Decided to add some weapon turrets:

Here's an Assault Ship retro-fitted with a warp generator:

Here's a drawing of a warp-capable destroyer-type vessel:



I thought it lacked a little something, so I added some detail:



Not sure what to do next. Suggestions?

I'm hoping so. All I need to do for the next turn is to get Mather and Heretic's Actions. The ball's in their court, so to speak.

So is this meant for game set further in the future of Nova Mundi? That was one of my ideas, yes. I haven't decided whether it's a series of events upon which the players can have a direct influence as active participants, or whether the challenge for the players lies in rebuilding the Solar system...

I like it, I'm excited to see it unfold. I'm a little confused as to who the Bathysites are, however. You mention that they are a spacefaring civilization, is this due to their nomadic 'nature' or other external developments/threats? What I mean is, were they forced into this nomadic lifestyle as a...

Great music from one of the greatest 2D scrolling space shooters:

Here's something I originally wrote up a while back for this thread, but never finished. I'll just post it for the sake of contributing something: --- Carriers of Pandemica, the Prime Infection Origins Reports of this religious movement-cum-bioweapon can be found as far back as the 61st millennium s...

Well done! How hard was it for you?

I've thought about about giving it a go sometime, but an entire novel in a month seems like a tall order, especially for a lazy, uncreative hack like me.

Hopefully this means we'll be seeing a bit more of you in Nova Mundi?

Draft of something I've got planned which might be of interest: The Bathysites (name may changed) A largely nomadic multi-species civilisation that has been spacefaring for at least 100,000 years. When one of their itinerant Worldships established first contact with Solar civilisation in the 23rd(?)...

I'm definitely going to be making an effort to be more timely in my updates, the recent slowness has had me kicking myself as I'm pretty sure I'm the one to blame.

Heretic wrote:I'm here, though I'll be busy come November for NaNoWriMo.

Is there anything I can do to help while you're busy?

Added this largely original illustration to "The Fang and their Empire" thread

Sorry it took so long. I hope I haven't put anyone off.

Just to let you all know, I've been having internet connectivity issues over the past couple of days, but now it seems to be in working order again I can get working on the next turn.

Total, because units can be moved from planet to planet.
