    The value of manned space flight?

    Are you referring to moon/planet landings? I'd hope the ISS operations speak for themselves, regarding orbital scientific value. Knowledge is power. And I think you just rewrote the slogan of the Elder Scrolls games.

    Can I be your cohort? I'd Like the post, but that somehow seems circular.

    Project Hail Mary Discussion

    Hmm. I'd like to see the maths on how long his trip would take from Earth's perspective, assuming his ship didn't reach full light speed. Because he told the kiddies that the sun would be eaten in 30 years... and that's cutting it pretty close.

    Good point. The vodka didn't last long, though.

    Project Hail Mary Discussion

    Like accelerating to near-light speed without time -dilation effects worth mentioning? Or  decelerating from the interstellar speed? What doesn't take a science degree is the question SPOILER: what does Grace eat after the allotted time of his one-way trip is up? (Soilent green?)

    RPG Evolution: Taking the Initiative

    I have a 7-player game coming up. I'll probably just go around the table, starting with whoever had the highest init contest. I'm curious - unless single actions are make-or-break (at what, 1st level?), what's the reason that each PC needs its own initiative count?

    OD&D Using magic to help build an undispellable castle

    Unseen servant + haste. Give it a belt of ogre strength if necessary. Or find a band of dwarves and promise them their own tavern.

    Bad news for Duncan Idaho

    It's probably because sexual reproduction produces the errors anyway, and those errors are called evil by the parents/community, who then float those errors down the river so the gods can decide what to do with them. Dog breeding is quite a bit older than cloning, and has already resulted in...

    Bad news for Duncan Idaho

    Humans needed to clone something 58 times to see why mutation and Darwinism have worked for eons?

    I made a website to compare TTRPGs

    Wow! Way more convenient than the previous GLOGs* I've seen. The "dice" category in the overviews doesn't seem to be doing much work; it seems to mean "you won't be able to play this game if you're missing this die in your set." What about diceless games? I might like to see categories like...

    Antimatter transported by CERN

    No, those are for transporting ectoplasm. In fact, a ghost trap looks a bit too large for 92 anti . . . Negatrons?
