Can you Anons help me out? I am working on a sci fi setting and could use some help keeping it some what realistic.
Let's say we have built a generational ship. We are sending it to colonize a star sysytem that long range scout drones have reported has three planets in its "Goldilocks Zone".
From Closest to Local Star to Farthest.
1. Hot desert planet, Poles are habital year round (Think Mohave like climate), while the rest of the planet is most a lifeless wasteland. Note however that the sand sample the rovers collected say the sand is well over 30% gold. Gravity is 1.38 Earth gravity.
2. Garden world. Has two moons and has five major landmasses. One land mass in the southern hemisphere is the size of all the other combined and is 3/5th grassland. The others are covered in forests and jungles. Rovers didn't detect any land fauna larger than a housecat, but all rover were lost within 2 weeks of being deployed. Reasons unknown.
Gravity is 0.89 Earth gravity and atmosphere will need minor terraforming to make fully breathable but is approved for limited human exposure (pretty low oxegen, would be like being on a high mountain.)
3. A Frozen desert planet. Only discovered lifeform is a moss like plant that grows in thermal crags across the planet. These give off huge amounts of Oxygen. Planet has 2.5 time the amount Earth does. Scans have detected large quantities of nuclear materials on it's north pole. Gravity is 1.05 Earth Gravity.
Let's assume it takes 80 years to reach this system with our special Subspace engines and our ship can safely house up to 200,000 colonists indefinitely. Ship can also manufacture basic goods and tools to start developing colonies if provided the resources.
Now how many colonists should be sent for the trip? How do you manage breeding in-route? Which planet should be colonized first?
Any thing else relevant?

Sending living people is stupid. Just bottle a bunch of DNA and have the ship reconstitute it into an appropriate population once it lands.

Necromancer paladins, runic magic, sapient paper gliders and other good shit. Yeah, Nix knows how to do some damn fine worldbuilding and cosmology.
Not terribly fond of the bloodlines=magic feature though.
You could be a hugely powerful Charter Mage with vast knowledge of marks, but if you weren't born into one of the Clayr/Abhorsen/Royal bloodlines you're just never going to cast marks from those great charters ever.
It works for a story, but as soon as you worldbuild from other perspectives it's kind of shitty.

Have you ever had a character fall for someone by all means they should absolutely despise?
I'm not talking of succubi or daemons, I'm meaning more like the murderer of their family, or destroyed their entire way of life, or twisted a knife in them, yet for some other reason they become infatuated by them.

>I've gotten really good news on the RPG (that one!) that I still have to keep secret, but work is definitely reaching its climax and moving into the final stages of polishing illustrations, assembling the book itself and debating exactly when and where to release it. It's taken years, I know, but the entire design team is only about three people and they've all got day jobs; they've still worked pretty long and hard wherever they could afford it. The main monster archive on bogleech has been somewhat overhauled and will continue to see changes and reorganization in the coming months, and I've been doing at least two new, fully colored monsters per month as well.
So how much exactly is Mortasheen done?
Is Bog just stalling for time, or is the game genuinely close to completion?

For the first time in weeks, you dreamed. At first, you dream of home. It was a place with wide open bright blue skies without a cloud for miles. You’d spend hours while you were a little kid just looking into it, waiting for something to happen, or watching the F-4’s of the National Guard rocketing over towards the air-base nearby. Someone new is beside you though, even though you were always alone doing this back home. A face you recognize, but one you don’t remember.
“They’re beautiful aren’t they?” he asks you, and when you look down you’re wearing your fortified suit.
“Yeah. They’re beautiful.” There was something about these old TSF’s you were looking at, the bulk, the angling, and how they flew all creating a sort of charm you couldn’t deny. They were the alpha and omega in your young mind, how one of these machines should work.
When you got to fly one in training, you nearly cried. That little kid inside of you came back for a few minutes. Hell, you probably chose to go for A-12 training despite qualifying hand over fist to pilot Super Hornets simply because the A-12 reminded you more of those flying giants from when you were younger. The pay boost was nice too though, which was probably more important for you.
“Do you blame yourself for what happened?” your companion asks you as the world flickers away from the idealistic memories of your childhood. Instead, quiet darkness surrounds you, as if waiting for your answer.
“I killed them.”
“That isn’t a good answer.” Your companion sighs, clapping you on the back. His face is still on the verge of recognition, but he’s wearing a suit identical to your own, as you find yourself once again strapped into the cockpit of the A-12.

His voice filters over the intercoms, drowning out whatever Foss was saying to you. “They were dead anyway. You saved them minutes of hellish pain, and you did for them what you couldn’t bring yourself to do in Bremerhaven.”
His words cut close to home. Angrily, you smash a fist into the side of your cockpit, only to have it all break away. You are alone, in the deep blue sea, the light stretching down through the water and the waves.
“I killed them. I killed people who I would have trusted my life with.” You don’t know how you’re speaking underwater, or why you don’t need to breathe, but the cold wraps around you and suffocates you against it.
“You do blame yourself, don’t you?” His face appears, and you start to recognize it. You. You’re talking to yourself.
“Why shouldn’t I?”
You smile, talking to yourself. “I’m not a bad person you know? You want to consider yourself such, but that’s fucking retarded. You’re not a butterbar boot anymore. Man the fuck up, and live with it. Deal with it. I’m still alive, and that’s what matters right now.”
Before you can tell yourself he’s a fucking crazy person, you wake up.

It takes a few minutes for you to remember where you are exactly. Schultz’s room is pretty much how you left it. There’s a wet spot on your pants leg, and when you look down, you can see Commissar Anje’s still asleep in your lap, drooling happily. Somehow she managed to squirm more of her body onto your lap while you were sleeping yourself, curling up against you like some kind of small animal. Occasionally she mumbles something in German while she sleeps about sharks and boats, along with a line or two you’re pretty much one hundred percent sure is from the East German national anthem. You’ll have to remember to tease her about this later.
Schultz is still snoring on the bed, a quiet and steady sound you have to strain yourself to hear. The Captain is going to be nursing one hell of a fucking hangover when she wakes up. Thank god you didn’t drink as much as her, else you’d probably be unable to think about just how in fucking god’s name you’ll keep the three of you from being chewed out by the Base Commander. Or even worse, have the Old Man chew out you and Shultz down to privates for drinking on duty. You absentmindedly stroke Anje’s head again as you check your watch.
4 AM. You’ve got a bit of time.
[ ] Wake up the Commissar, enlist her help in avoiding the inevitable asschewing
[ ] Seek reinforcements elsewhere
[ ] Wake the sleeping dragon on the bed. She IS your superior officer after all.

Last Episode: You explored Joy-In-Unity's base of operations and confirmed that she was the cause of the Event. You also discovered the corpse of your ancestor, Joy-In-Zephyr. She's now considering taking over your body.
“So…” Zephyr sits on the summit table and drums the fingers of one hand on the wood. “Do I go for it?”
“I suppose you couldn’t foul up her life worse than she did.” Civility says.
Meadows continues to attempt, and fail, to desecrate Unity’s perfect corpse.
Zephyr rolls her eyes. “Enough from the peanut gallery.” She sighs. “It isn’t like I haven’t broken the law before, and I’m guessing that normal social contacts that I’m familiar with don’t really apply. However, I did try to be moral, or at the very least non-violent.”
“That’s because you tricked other people into doing your killing for you.” Civility says.

“Well, that’s the best way to do your killing…and shut up.” Zephyr says. She leans back. “And I suppose if you let these two bundles of laughs hitch along with you…no sense that I couldn’t do the same.” She rolls her eyes up and tilts her head back and forth. “Maybe I could live with that…although I don’t think you’re the type to go quietly. Also, if those two are disgusted with you like that,” she grins. “Then that means you fight dirty, I am very proud of that by the by, and I know enough about fights to know that they can’t be predicted. Not when two Joys go at it.
“So…the question is: Am I willing to risk a fight, in order to do a very bad thing?
Gotta admit it, Joy-of-my-Own, it’s really tempting. There’s no comparison between being dead and being alive. So…any arguments of your own?”

I think it's important to look at slices of countries and their history for social dynamics to work into games.
Like, I love some of the weird, sprawling courtly feuds of Imperial China and the weird pseudo-nobility that sprang up out of the eunuchs to basically run the aristocracy from the shadows because they were the palace functionaries and the system basically didn't work without them making it work.
But that's very different from, say, Maoist China or the Cultural Revolution where you would have a culture that's been radicalised by a foreign ideology and undergoing major internal purges and restructurings. And that's also very different from modern China...

Reading Legend of the Five Rings: Imperial Histories 2 had me thinking: of the "anachronisms" in space subgenre, owning to the booming Japanese science fiction industry, "feudal Japan/samurais in space" is quite common. Korea, however, due to a variety of psychocultural reasons, doesn't presently have a science fiction industry to speak of, almost at all.
You're the imaginative history buffs as well as the imaginative futurists, /tg/. If anyone can manage, it's you.
How would you do a setting whose premise is "Ancient Korean History, In Space"?

Depends on which period you want to cover. In my opinion, the ancient Korean "golden age" was the Joseon kingdom (14th century), though many would place it some other time (Silla is a common one, for example).
