Glaring Error in d20 Future...

[Brad Hindman]

Any astronauts on ENWorld, please reply. (Remember, helmet visors and shuttle windows have some funny protective coatings, so you have to do a bare-eyes test.)

Of course looking at the sun (especially from space) with bare-eyes is kind of a no-no unless you enjoy blindness.

And a hefty does of vacuum

yah, vacuum sure plays havoc with your contacts.

That's why you should only wear disposable contacts while in space.

You mean like this thread?

Just because you have time to argue with the astrophysicst doesn't mean the rest of us do.

I love when science kicks down the door of your rational mind and holds the joint up.

MY future game will have green stars.

Just so somebody can get all huffed up about there being no such thing.

And I can haul that article out, then we'll ask the android what HE sees.

Well said, Heap.

I too love it when your knowledge of physics, or lack thereof, sets a preconceived notion on it's ear, then research steps up and kicks it through the uprights.

I think that is one reason why my group's games are so much fun to me is that most everyone in it does their homework and researches things. Some folks call it reaching for realism in an unrealistic game, but I call it the physics of immersion. If, along with all the unbelievable things, you have enough verifiable evidence (whether real or manufactured) of the believable, then all those unbelievable things will seem even more mysterious, and give me a more immersive experience.

Or, if someone gets too hung up on physics without the ability to back it up, we can immerse his head into a bucket of water, thereby providing a segueway from physics into physiology.

My d20 future will certainly have green stars, as it's the little things like that that help me sustain believability, or my suspension of disbelief, whichever way you want to look at it.

So... If the visible spectrum on a star was green in game... you'd leave?

What if it was a plot device? Something wrong with the star, and the inhabitants of the star system needed help?

That's different. Just a few days ago, an acquaintence of mine mentioned that exact event in a Traveller game of his. I told him that, yeah... I'd probably expect something wrong, but if someone told me that humans could see stars as green, I'd seriously consider dropping the game.

Let's face the facts, I'm an ass. It's why I only GM. I never play.

To each their own...

Despite the odd (to my mind at least) reason for this thread existing, it's actually got some interesting stuff in it!

Anyone else got any star system generation info to share? Or should I start a whole new thread?

I love these kinda posts.

I tried so hard to find such things, but no green stars.

You ever heard of google.com. Quite easy to find links on it.
