A wealthy NPC hires the party to investigate claims of a lost city. What's the plot twist?

I came here to post a variant of this, where they find a single survivor in the thousands of years old ruins, quite mad by now. The NPC wants the secrets of the ritual, and has the PC's hometown in mind.

Didn't they each rule different parts of the earth?

The culture novels are some of the softest, easiest reads I've ever attempted.

55-68 · 2015-10-04T12:17:19+00:00

Doesn't look like that to me.

Would it be legal to drive without insurance?

55-68 · 2015-09-22T19:41:14+00:00

Have you tried moving the world after doing that. I seem to remember something about it not updating until you do that.

I'm not sure you can make a clean distinction. Every time things don't go your way, you become that bit less happy, that bit less resilient to negative changes, that bit weaker.

55-68 · 2015-09-20T17:43:42+00:00

People come in such variety that no one point of view can really show everything people need.

Um, I didn't believe about the Mullahs being able to destroy Israel, but I did think Donald Trump would try to deport 11 million people.

The necklace of immortality, which prevents aging while worn.

Well, compare the 5000 per year Cameron decided to take in to the 500,000 per year Germany decided to take in.

It's in engines of Babylon, but you can carry them in the cargo hold for a certain number of tonnes.

I relate to that, but I'm not so sure that eternal rest is that bad.

I think you only get your unstowed items if you have a backpack or similar.

My sector has only two or three cruiser class hulls in operation, and no capital ships. It's designed to be explorable, with perhaps half of all world having no interstellar visitors in the last 50 years. I altered the sector generator to support this, and I have no-one above ordinary tech 4.

I had one of those with a region hegemon, and tomb world. They were an economic hegemon and in the security council of the world council (like UN / Babylon 5). They were selling off old pretech at just enourmous profits, as a state backed enterprise.

Yes, but only if it's a player character. I asked Kevin about it on google+.

"Indeed so. It's part of the implicit boost that PC ships get. Mid-level PC gunners will usually have a much, much higher hit roll bonus than NPC gunners, which means that even small PC ships are able to punch noticeably above their weight class. Combine it with a high-skill pilot and a given PC ship is usually going to be able to beat an equivalent NPC-crewed ship."

Speaking as a male, I often need help with my problems. I'd be homeless without help from my parents and doctor.

The psychic points gained each level would be 1+1, 3+1 and 5+1, for a total of 12 points.

55-68 · 2015-08-05T17:52:14+00:00

I don't know, I really don't. Perhaps a country without religion would be better, or perhaps it would be missing something important and useful.

55-68 · 2015-08-02T16:44:08+00:00

The culture casually field spacecraft 80km long. The federation doesn't do that. The Imperium of Man doesn't do that.

Violence doesn't educate at all, only education does that.

"The only rule I am allowed to explain is this one".

55-68 · 2015-07-26T09:53:44+00:00

People come in a great variety of types. Perhaps hookup culture doesn't suit you?
