After Earth OOC

Well sure, but I think Chinese might be more useful. There are more Chinese speaking colonies than Japanese and those are bigger ones too, although they are farther away from Unity than the japs. (I don't remember the sizes of-hand as I don't have the notes at work, but if you look at the chart in the RG, Huang-Di, Lucky Star, Dragon and Tiger are all chinese colonies, and are mostly bigger than the jap stations.)

So logically, it makes more sense for Damon to have learned Japanese, since they live close by, but it wouldn't be strange at all to speak Chinese, 'cause it's the second most common language in the human space.

Actually, I could put the Colony-chart in the RG too. It's reasonable to assume that you'd know the sizes of the colonies, and also what are the most common languages on each And that way I'd have the chart at hand at work too.

If you could post the colony chart, that would be perfect. And if he is going to get the chance to use his Chinese some time in the future, I'll keep it.

Well assuming you are still going with the plan of taking that one datadisk to Temple and then the droid to it's homeworld, you pretty much have to pass through at least three of those chinese stations

I'm assuming Mr Kato is a bigwig.. I think I should have did a knowledge buisness or civics roll to determine if Gaetanna was "saving face humbling herself "to the right person.

Relique forced me to come up with future economy. Damn him! Anyways, I came up with this little bit, just so everyone is on the same page:

In the future of AE humanity has adopted a unified currency that is called the Dollar due to the name of that unit being quite common in the old world. The buying power of this new Dollar has shifted to and fro but currently it stands at about ½ of the old US Dollar. So if something would cost $10 in modern times, it will cost $20 in AE. And so the $1000 bottle of sake Gaetanna is looking at is roughly equivalent to $500 in modern US.

It doesn't mean much with the universal wealth system of D20 Modern, but gives you idea what is really expensive and what is dirty cheap if someone talks about money.

So what does that mean in terms of Gaetanna's +21 wealth?

The same thing it would mean with modern currency . She has way too much money

Awesome. I wonder if she could buy a geisha... I mean..
