Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Ok, here are two worldbuilding prompts I came up with:
1. Ozpin decides that he should do away with democratic governmental systems and go back to monarchies, given the utterly rampant stupidity and excessive corruption that democracies are rife with. At least when you have a smart ruler that...
Chapter Thirty Two

Arvak stepped forward.
His Crozius blazed like a newborn sun, its light cutting through smoke and ash, casting long shadows across the ruined cargo dock. His voice rang out—loud, absolute.
"Steel to hand! Flame to heart! We are the line!"
The words hit Kade like thunder...
That's in the Astrography section of Notes About The Vilani Imperium.
With jump-3 they can not only bypass the Procyon bottleneck, but the stars on the opposite site of Confederation space from the Imperium to trailward become accessible.
Wait, Terran space is completely enveloped by Viltani territory? Reading the one Viltani bitch commander's perspective, it sounded like one factor that made the greater Viltani dismiss the Terrans was because the Terrans couldn't expand because they had starless terrain blocking them off. If...
Writing it has been a lot of fun, probably more fun than any other writing I've done in years! Not that it has a lot of strong competition, I haven't been doing any passion projects for a while.
It's been hard to find reading time, life is very busy at the moment. But I'm hoping to squeeze in...
Chapter Thirty One
-
The bridge corridor shook with thunder and fire.
Kade's bolter clicked dry, a metallic finality that rang louder than the chaos around him. A heartbeat later, the cultist it had claimed burst apart, viscera painting the far bulkhead in crimson arcs. Lasfire lit the gloom...
...I brought the Durable Baseball Bat, snatched from my Inventory, down in a short, vicious arc aimed at the ground right under her pink-cased boot. *Don't aim at the target. Aim behind the target.*
The concrete shattered. A spray of pink-painted plastic, mangled metal, and blood erupted from...
They must be semi rational because they have set up their empire for long term stability and it has worked for more than a thousand years. Problem is outsiders they don't readily absorb and their internal systems to control the ambitious makes them look schizophrenic to said outsiders. But they...
Honestly, I think other Traveller setting FTL drives would be better than K-F jump drives. While these other drives also fall under the "parsecs per week" aspect of the OTU jump drive, their mechanisms are often quite different and how the "parsecs per week" range differs, in my opinion, makes...
The Tree is capable of communicating, such as when it did so with the Student Six on one or two occasions (three if we consider the theory that Twilight's message from G5 is actually the Spirit of Harmony). Whether or not it will actually talk to Grayven is up in the air.
So, I know nothing about GURPS. So I'll view this through a Stellaris filter. The problem with developing a new FTL drive that lets you ignore previous blocking-terrain, is that the newly opened up territory might already be claimed. Could be a Devouring Swarm that wants to eat all your biomass...
