Re: [science & tech] Starships of the United Nations
Moved the Super Cyclone down (I swear, I'll finish writing the article one day!) and replaced it with a Master List of all major United Nations starships, which will have short descriptions attached to them, while each individual ship will get its own in-depth article.

Arty tries High Fantasy Warfare
I'm hoping to get a universe out of this, but its still stewing. For the moment, here's some teaser fiction. Chapter One: Mobilizing “Just because the bell is ringing,” Artan was saying, “doesn't mean anything's happened over there yet.” “My young friend,” Krause said, clapping a muscular, buckler-c...

Re: [cartography]United Nations Worlds
Added the framework for the worlds of Telemachus System, and the first chunk of worlds. Also added world art for Bardo, Ambar and Atlantis.

Whoa, how did I miss this one!
I like it - just the right mix of old-west desolation and things-from-another-world madness. You write "place" incredibly well, Siege.

For anyone reading this new to Universal Constants, this story, aside from being damn good, is a really nice intro piece to the universe. Recommended reading.

Re: Universal Constants RP
I like to run them so that they work kinda like a round-robin writing session, with each player writing from the perspective of a character they've made. I'll be providing the backstory, antagonists, and the general flow of the plot, but its up to the players to get themselves to the end. To start, ...

Re: Universal Constants RP
Right now I've got two scenarios hanging around my head, one a spy-fi story starring Agents of Ivory Teardrop, the other with them as treasure hunter race: think Raiders of the Lost Ark starring Han Solo instead of Indiana Jones. Either of those trip anyone's trigger?

Re: Universal Constants RP
@Heretic: On the old Omniverse Zero forum, I ran a short-lived but quite fun RPG set in my Universal Constants universe. Take a look if you like!
@Shroomz: That's totally up to you guys, I say. I've still got the basic plot for the old game in my head, but we can always start anew.

Speaking of books and characters who mix dark fantasy with crime fiction, may I introduce to the room the many creations of Richard Kadrey. Imagine if Neil Gaiman, instead of growing up in '60's and '70's Britain, had grown up on the means streets of L.A. or Detroit during the worst of the economic ...

Oh, Harry doesn't get breaks. That's why he's so darn loveable.
To paraphrase the author, Jim Butcher: "You know how Harry's always looking up at the sky and going, 'someone up there must really hate me'? Yeah, that'd be me."
