What you're doing there isn't calculus. It's mostly trigonometry with a little geometry and algebra thrown in. Also, unless you are dealing with an extreme case (a very, very small planet, or a very, very high observer), you don't really need to worry about figuring out the arc length. Just...

I just ran across a nifty little reference chart that shows height vs. horizon distance in both metric and SI...

Largely, it'll depend on how good the eyesight of the observer is. Very often an object may be visible, even though fine details cannot be resolved. However, what you seem to be looking for is the effective horizon distance, and how that is affected by tall objects. Wikipedia has a decent...

:erm: Yeah. That's it exactly. :hmm: Let me try this again... It is the resulting devastation of the War of the Worlds! Welcome to Earth in the year 2010. In other words, a little over a hundred years ago, Martians invaded Earth, decimated the population and ecosystem using poison gas...

I saw it last night with the wife and kids. Two things... Pixar has yet to make a movie that isn't at least good. Pixar is the only movie company I know that makes sequels that are as good or better than the original movie. Toy Story 3 was fantastic.

It is the resulting devastation of the War of the Worlds! Welcome to Earth in the year 2010.

This. Helicopter rotors are airplane wings that spin in a circle. (For that matter, most airplane propellers work the same way.)

I just noticed that, too... Match 3 should probably be Green Dice vs. Pro-Paladin.

Doing it this way, IVV will end up judging one extra match, and I'll get short changed by one. Going with your original pattern, It would look like: Pbar, RG, IVV, Pbar If you want each of us judging 5 matches, both RG and I need to judge two matches in this round, with RG swapping in for...

The judgment for round 1, match 6 has been posted.

The solution, of course, is to come join my group... ;) see the link below.

If I might make a small request... If anyone wants to give XP praising a submission, I don't mind. But, could you please wait until after the judgment has been made? Those sorts of comments make it that much harder to stay objective when judging an entry. Thanks.

Exactly... This is more or less what I was trying to get at with the "3 Act" suggestion. Make the inevitable sinking of Chicago the climax in Act II, whereas the real meat of the adventure happens in Act I's introduction, and Act III's denouement. Think of the sinking of Chicago as the Empire...

Psst! I work there now... Let me know if you want tips.

There's another way to do this... Run the adventure as a sort of 3 Act adventure. In Act I, you set the stage... A small island (find one just off the coast somewhere, with a quaint little village on it) completely vanishes off the face of the earth -- disappeared without a trace. That's the...

Another place to look for inspiration might be the Star Trek reboot from last year. The unstoppable planetary destruction in that movie emulate your scenario quite nicely. Oh, and also... I can't remember what time period you're running your game, but if it's anytime after the 70s, you have...
