Holiday Tuesday and I’m scribbling for my Hinterspace Cepheus Deluxe setting. Seem to have dallied on how longevity is managed, including newly available life extension treatments in the Empire of Stars (EOS), and unsuccessful attempts at sentience syphoning to quantum processing arrays, with ensuing somatic dissonance and psyche fragmentation.
Cyborgs and Androids are both being added into the mix. I’ll make sure they chime with the simple application of rules that comes with the Deluxe ruleset.
The nine major EOS noble houses have been sketched out, including houses Fayomi, Zendur and Meenoy. Together, the nine vie for supremacy in the TL15 Sphere, that is now stagnating, as the future is being driven by those in the wilds of Hinterspace. I’ve added a brief note on an EOS terraforming rule.
The six major Synthetic Intelligences have now been named and are known collectively as Nexus, as they appear to interact consistently and seamlessly, at least in comparison to the fractious noble houses.
And yet, these are all just backdrop considerations, which will produce echoes out into the TL12 fringe, and the Eventide subsector, where my 2022 game will be set.
The notetaking part of game preparation is, perhaps, my favourite. A creative blend of emergent ideas, without too much worry on final format.
