A submission that grants colour to a world. 4/5. Go to Comment

It never even occurred to me to supply a dress code for adventurers, but this is precisely the kind of world-building detail that really gets players immersed. Also I'm a sucker for color coding. I think it needs to be a little longer, though. Maybe some additional restrictions to garb based on orders within the guild, or exceptions for very specific honors. I'm also not fond of the mention of alignments and beef/cheesecakery, those seem like system-specific meta statuses, and otherwise this has the makings of an excellent first-hand document.

Now this is my kind of minutiae! (Plus any AuR reference...) Go to Comment

I can imagine, and I feel like this post embraces, a game world that incorporates the game jargon into the narrative and world building. Go to Comment

This was fun, nicely detailed, and a good side long view of the 'organization'. Go to Comment

5/5 Simply Superb!!!!!!! Go to Comment

This is really good one, it is fairly clearly written and the idea touches on all the aspects the major themes of of the cosmic era: saddism, ruthless corporate pragmatism, militarism, and surrealism. I'd like to see one of these guys as protagonist in a plot or narrative. Go to Comment

This takes disposable mook to an entirely new level. I really, really dig the atmosphere that comes along with this. Go to Comment

Typical, 5/5 lol Go to Comment

4.5/5 just a tad too universal in it's use, just enuf to stop it from being a 5 Go to Comment

5/5 practicly a ZERO on the usefull scale, big big, big 5 for art and fluff Go to Comment

Not so much flight as hovering via a-pods, but yes. They can move between planets in matter of days or weeks, but this is as much a function of where the planets are at the time of the flight as much as it is how fast they are.

I can see there being travel seasons, you travel to Mars on the 2-3 months when Earth is swinging around and is on the same side of the Solar system as the red planet, bingo for Jupiter. For points further out you are going to be waiting for the right alignment of the middle planets to slingshot around them, or use them as wayfare or refuel and reprovision points.

Generally the inner system is a matter of a few days, Mars and Jupiter a few weeks, and points further out are a month or more away Go to Comment

This was a fun bit of detail.

I take it these guys do atmospheric flight? And how quickly are they moving between planets? Go to Comment

Another good addition to the Cosmic Era lore.

Point of Order, young man I feel the need to point out the Bedazzler existed long before the 1990s.

Nice footnote, as some color to the setting (and for some reason strikes me as icky).

Might they use this technology in prisons, militaries or cults. If you can tie the color threads to the CNS it might make easier to control and monitor the moods of your members and/or prisoners. What is the underground city you made up? The one in the middle east run by a torture cult that uses human suffering to power their technology? I could see those guys putting this stuff into themselves and their prisoners (ie show off how much pain they are really in and push button suffering complete with black light effects and strobes)
