I’d consider rolling several times to generate regions. I’d also consider using this to generate multiple worlds for a science fantasy game. Its a really nice set of tables. <br /><br />Have you done one for Venus or professor challenger “lost world” style locations?"<br /><br />Thanks, Alistair. I purposely left the "What Earthmen Want" vague, so that it could be interpreted the way you saw fit. for the first one, I of course had in mind colonial expansion. For the second, I was thinking of shanga from Leigh Brackett's Mars stories like "The Beast Jewel of Mars." The third could apply to a lot of yarns, but I didn't have anything specific in mind. The fourth, was a vague reference to <i>Dune</i> and it's spice, and also <i>Forbidden Planet</i>. Neither take place on Mars, admittedly, but there is no reason why they couldn't.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-9505298153130718162019-03-10T16:17:14.682-04:002019-03-10T16:17:14.682-04:00Woops!
