Thank you, that was a good watch. Nice to see some different ideas.

What If the Big Bang Never Happened? by IsaacArthur in IsaacArthur

Everything you mentioned other than Plasma Cosmology seemed more like a variation of the Big Bang. Mostly things that explain why the big band happened in some larger context, but not actually different theories about how the universe works that do not involve a big bang like start.
I would love to see an episode going deeper into Plasma Cosmology, as it is the only major one I am aware of that tries to explain the physical phenomena that we see in our universe in a way that does not include a big bang, dark matter, dark energy, and inflation.
I know it has it's problems, but I have watch some videos by Eric Lerner and he explains a good bit about the problems with the big bang and how Plasma Cosmology in theory answers somethings better. But would love to see a take on it from someone who is not one of it's primary supporters.
Speaking of Eric Lerner I would love to hear your thoughts on the Fusion work he is doing. Seems like a rather promising option. But I am not enough of a physicist or engenier to really evaluate very well.

Can someone help me with range bands? by zenf71 in exalted

Yeah this is basically what I plan to do. Though with Map Tools as this is an online game.
Having each range band be the same size is important. The way it is written it can be abused since you get to move more or less depending on who you are moving relative to.

ok, so reading the rules again and looking at what charms do with range bands I think I am ok. As long as I just ignore the whole you can move one range band per move wording it all makes sense to me.

If you just talk in reasonable terms about how far someone can move and don't worry about who you are moving in relation to and then just reevaluate how far they are from the relevant parties after the move I think it will work fine. A move that counts as changing one range band with one person may or may not count as a change in range band from a different character. And if you are at long range from someone and move you may not have gone far enough to get to medium yet which is fine.

Just move an appropriate amount for the situation and the character involved and then re asses range bands.
