Generally speaking matter is supposed to be harder to wormhole through unaltered than wavelength emissions such as light and electricity, though arguably those are more prone to disruption by cosmic radiation.

...I think it was Schlock Mercenary that made a case for why it was supposed to be easier to intercept a spacebound teleporting missile than it was to receive an "INCOMING!" warning signal. If I remember correctly, it had to do with how you need to tear the information into millions of little pieces, reassemble and then descramble it upon receiving said information. (By comparison, if the missile is not teleported with all pieces in the right place, it explodes anyway.)

Careful with the real science stuff. :P
I do recall there was the cheaper phone options that work well within the local networks. 50 meseta, which is what most of us had acquired early on.
As for my Parum communication thing, I was referring to my Bassknot staff member going to Parum. I recall the trip was to be a few hours long.

That's not really a new idea through. It's actually used as an excuse why you can only send certain things through, like solids instead of biological materials. But in this case, all we need to do is send a proton at a certain speed and the campaign already offers ways to do that on top of the inherited tricks present within the core rules.

One great example would be a Crystal Ball, so for under 80k you can create a six inch circle to transmit light back and forth. It's just enough to squeeze almost twelve thousand jacketed fibers together, enough that at the current top rate of one petabyte per second you can transmit Earth's entire Internet in a second or two. Claiming it only works 0.05% of the time, and for only thirty minutes a day, still let's entire planets to sync up on a daily basis without even having to filter out useless junk.

If you're with a DM that just tiresomely bludgeons magic with banhammer pulled from a shitty place you can simply use something like the Mary Sue Androids. Just tape a bunch of their database computers together on a couple ships and let them shuttle it back and forth and you could still sync planets. You don't need to contact Prime 17's Amazon17 if you can search a copy of Amazon17's database locally and your order gets posted next sync.

Careful with the real science stuff. :P
Well catgirls die when we talk about real stuff so this is our chance to kill them before the mission.  :D

Plus D&D in space, and other fictional implications, is always a fascinating nerd thing to discuss. Why do you think people have been doing it for decades?

Edit - Osl decided to leave this one post and wipe the rest to reconstruct the narrative based on how he says went down. The problem with that is, as you can see, I'll gladly highlight it in red. This is because I don't need secrecy to fool you into something and I rather thank him for leaving this post and the actual moderators for seeing through it. Thanks to it I received a PM of the content he tried to wipe from the actual moderators (without the bbcode) and apparently he has been warned to never edit anyone's post ever again.

When you say D&D in space, it reminds me of He-man.

Or Elex, a game I've been getting into lately. Basically, modern world civilization was wrecked by a comet impact. Comet impact brought a new mineral that lets people do AMAZING THINGS. Three factions arise.

One faction uses it to recreate technology. They have mechs and lasers. They're also religious and sometimes literally brainwash people into joining them via Psionics.

One faction is its own Mad Max microcosm where people basically SMOKE those fantastic rocks. Oh, and the big guy behind this faction is rebuilding a nuke because why not, apparently.

And the third faction (the one you start closest to) is basically medieval science fiction Amish hippies, whom use mutated trees to "purify" the flow of energy from the space rock to bring back nature and literally throw everything technological they find in a huge scrap pile.

We now return to our regularly scheduled conversation.

Incidentally, we didn't kill any catgirls because I was talking about science fiction science, not hard science. I'm nowhere near nerdy enough to talk about real science.

You aknowledged that you were warned, and yet you insisted in keeping up with your bullshit on how crystal balls should be weapons of mass destruction that fit inside anybody's pocket as lasers happen to be light too. Don't come back crying now.

In related news, if anyone wants to update their character sheets let me know and I'll edit them.

What? Did we just lose editing permissions in the char sheet thread?

Oh well, I only keep quick reference notes for combat there. They only update on level up.

OMG I just got why Mao is Mao to us instead of Min Yung. That Many As One title at the top of their character sheet  :lmao

I do recall there was the cheaper phone options that work well within the local networks. 50 meseta, which is what most of us had acquired early on.

Ah!! You're right, that was the one! Those local network "phones" are still an allowed thing, yeah?
Either way, I've never sent more than 1 message to some one at a time within a short time frame barring talking to Maia which doesn't count because I was usually just yelling at security cameras and fully expecting her to be watching me regardless  :rolleyes

@Oslecamo: You were against two or more different items being combined into a single item, even if bought not crafted (altho crafted is moot cause no custom items allowed~), right? Is it possible to buy a standard item but that fills a different slot than it usually does? Least as long as it still kinda fits with the slot affinity?
Cause I remembered I was kinda slightly interested in throwing my last 20k at a Belt of Lions, but as Boots instead. Considering most of its abilities, shoes of thems seem as good if not better a fit for such an item than a belt does -_-'.........

Speaking of, I probably need to correct Murakumo given my shift in levels...

Also, which skill would one use for psychological torture? I'm pretty sure Hugo should have max ranks in that.

Did we ever rule out magic items that add to skills, or was that just the spells?

I don't really recall either. As long as it's not something too cheesy it should be ok.

Nah, I'm just thinking this is something Hugo should be competent at, if not mildly infamous for.

So if nobody else says nothing in the contrary, I'll be skipping to the next relative morning and assume you're all flying together to Ragol.

It's been only what, over 3 real-life years since the last time you set foot there? :P

Question: will that armour I ordered have been made by then? It is a big order... well, literally so. XD

Can't really think of anything new for Hugo to do. I suck at managing equipment for my characters...

EDIT: If Mao has a toy line, does that mean Hugo has a doujin series?  :P

Huzzah, iridescent armour! Though to be fair with metal that's probably one of the more sane options.
