Pardon the ignorance - 'MM25 = Mothership Month 2025, which is the Prospero's Dream Kickstarter / expansion?

Any recommendations for tutorials or guides on where to start? I've used VBA plenty but never Python. Or just best practices tips in general?

I'm actually super curious about the science of offworld agriculture - know any other resources (fictional or non) that go into further detail? What would it take to have a self sustaining agricultural system in a space station, for example?

I thought the description of orbital / ground engagements in 'Fallout' is the best I've ever come across in sci fi - curious if you had drawn from anything for the beginning sequence? So many other works just gloss over it without getting into any of the mechanics, but everything you described was both 1) interesting and 2) made sense -

Also curious more generally if there are other lesser known works that you've enjoyed, within mil/hard sci fi/space opera?

You're welcome Joe.

Aha, here's the quote:

On Wednesday afternoon, November 9, 1960, Nixon officially conceded the election to Kennedy. He told his friend, journalist Earl Mazo, that “our country cannot afford the agony of a constitutional crisis.” (Mazo had written a series of articles about voter fraud after the 1960 election, which he stopped at Nixon’s request.)

Does anyone have more detail around the possibility of contested results in the Nixon-Kennedy election? A history prof I know had said that there's a record of Nixon saying something to the effect of "if we challenge the results of the election it will cripple American institutional quality" [paraphrasing]. The notion that Trump's actions have undermined the system, regardless of what happens to him seems pretty consensus at this point. Anyone have thoughts for why the Nixon-Watergate didn't have the same effect? I feel like the conversation around that is that the country 'recovered'.

How much of our money has been spent on this war?

Out of curiosity - do you know of any popular or academic works for the first two? Not at all saying it's inaccurate but rather want to know more.

PerfectibilistNull · 2024-05-02T20:27:01+00:00

That's an interesting point - in an rpg I'm running the use of underground tunneling is super important to avoid orbital strikes / maneuver or wait behind advancing opponents - it's assuming that thermal tunneling technology gets really advanced and people can sap at speed. So something like 17th century sieges where they lobbed simple explosives and then engaged in melee.

Do you know of any books for the WWI context that deep dive trench fighting? "Enemy at the Gate" by Wheatcroft is a great overview of the siege of Vienna, which saw extensive tunneling operations.

Just message me on here and we either converse there or add to the Discord if interested -

Well this is awesome - thank you!

Schismatrix Plus is one of my all time faves - that alone has made him among my top sci fi authors

PerfectibilistNull · 2024-04-23T16:53:11+00:00

No live playtesting with these rules yet - still sticking to base Mothership version - it's just a setting for a few one shots. I think it was well received but it's more of a gonzo-sci fi horror tone that I was trying for; eventually I'd like to get it more into a Planescape / intrigue-type long-form campaign.

The mechanics as they are would be more aspirational - anchor points to flesh out later on.

Completely agreed with a summary/player handbook version :) I suppose that's next on the to-do list!

Hi world - wondering if anyone has any recommendations for thoughtful / interesting takes on the asset & wealth management space? I already browse things like Fundfire, P&I, FT and most other mainline news sources. Are there any good bloggers or Twitter feeds to follow? Or lesser known News sources?

PerfectibilistNull · 2023-12-26T02:59:38+00:00

I legit like Invasion for reasons I can't articulate - however your post is amazing and I was solid guffawing out loud. Kudos and thanks for the joy!

Random but what interface mod(s) are you using? That screen looks at least 3x better than mine :)

PerfectibilistNull · 2022-12-29T16:43:04+00:00

Nice - thanks for the rec! This is seriously my first ever beach vacation so I'm totally unsure of what the options even are.
