    Shadows, I wanted to ask if there's a guide anywhere on creating a planquest like Per Aspera. As I've been plotting out a theoretical one, I'm not sure how to set the values of different projects and how dice should be distributed. Can you give any advice, please?

    There really isn't one, unfortunately. It's kind of an inexact science of deciding what your dice fields are, how many dice the players get, and how much progress/what the DC is for a given research option.

    I mostly go on vibes, personally, and while I'm fine with players buying more dice - as you can in Per Aspera - I also add in dice sinks, and I'd suggest you do the same if you want to give the players a direct, repeatable option for more dice.

    Oh, good to know! Thank you.

    Thank you so much for locking the thread, I was in the middle of writing up a long rambling post that a part of me didn't really want to post but literally couldn't help myself. I'm in my insomniac phase and cannot think straight due to not sleeping well lately.
    :cry:

    and I keep on coming back to the thread to argue with people even though I knew I shouldn't be doing it at all. could you like temp-ban me from the thread for a few days so I can get my shit back together? hell I know I'm probably at fault for going wildly off-topic, so I'll even take the L and take the infraction with it.
    my self-control is completely shot right now. 😅

    Will Per Aspera ever come back? I need my dose of space!

    eventually! Life is hectic and I've been dealing with stuff. :)

    Just chiming back in to say I'm still interested if you ever start Per Aspera back up!

    When I see that your number is 2222 (the one on the link), only one thought surfaced in my brain;
    "Dayum, what a lucky guy".

    Damnit Shadows. I've been trying to ignore Penny Quest because oh gods, yet another major story that looks real interesting to keep up-to-date with, when you do Machina-ex-Machina. And I read the first chapter. And love it.

    Now I have to check out Penny quest to find out the previous story of our viewpoint character! XD

    …

    Also, thanks for the cool stories. I am sad that the Space Colony quest died.

    Out of curiosity, when did you start reading BelaBat?

    +100 headpats to Stout, Black, and Blakeley.

    I almost didn't recognize you at first, since I mostly know you through various associated Discords. :p

    How deep are you going to dive, with respect to the amorphous blob of associated works (Destiny, etc)?

    Yo!

    Did you know @open_sketchbook is running a new Quest?

    We're playing the squadron leader of a rebel fighter squadron in Star Wars! (Who is also an exiled asteroid princess.) It's quite a good bit of fun!

    A Soviet player has died in-game. You have a spot on the Soviet Side, so just post in the Soviet IC thread and they'll bring you into the appropriate convos.

    Ah... I need to make a new character then because I really wanted to be Wehrmacht.

    That's okay. You've got plenty of time.

    So what's the status on Wildspace Riot(!) Quest? Is it unofficially dead or are you just having trouble getting back to it?

    How about a Prescott Family quest? An empire builder in which Prescotts reign over Arcadia Bay.

    Was worried you were going to say Marine Corps. In any case, not bad. I'm thinking about Navy. The thing is, you guys don't have logistics, specifically, any rating to do with transportation logistics. When I went Army I wanted 88N but couldn't get it (had to settle for 92G, sigh). Since I got going back in my head I said I wanted an enjoyable occupation that has civvie turnover.

    Not sure why I'm still talking.

    We do have a logistics rate - Logistics Specialist - and they cover most everything I can think of.
