Since I don't know how far 47 and his successors will go in silencing non-far-right platforms like this, I have a Mastodon backup account here:

The hottest transitioning planet:
arxiv.org/pdf/1706.06723
KELT-9b is hotter than most stars, with a dayside temperature of 4600K, because it closely orbits WASP-33 that's 6.6x times brighter than the Sun. It's being blown away at a rate of 10,000 - 10,000,000 tons per second.

Part 2 of the 2300AD campaign Invasion is due later this month!

Your team will start as humble colonists but end up being truly pivotal in the war, taking a commandeered ship to the heart of the enemy and becoming a symbol of resistance...

Me, and dozens of TTRPG grognards, found similarly minded folks to play games with online, ending often decades of not gaming at all, and we all made new friends in our 40s/50s/60s, which is no mean feat!

I have the Legendary Edition, it's just the time that's holding me back. 😉

Deep Space Adventures @deepspacerpg.bsky.social · 4d

Ah, ok.
I'm a big fan of 1 & 2. Only looked briefly into 3 and Andromeda. Maybe it's time for a replay of 1-3. Andromeda was very dull and boring for me.

Hubble Space Telescope's images turned into 3D scenes are stunningly beautiful.
From BBC Horizon's "Hubble: The Wonders of Space Revealed".

Can you help?… I’m trying to find my people

I know there’s more space fans here… just not sure how to reach you

Feels weird to ask, but would you give me a signal boost by hitting share?

If you’re new… Hi I’m Cat, I make pretty picture of space 🥹 let’s connect if you like weird space art

Woman standing next to large artwork on an easel. The painting is of a wormhole with gravitational lensing that shows stars and galaxies are warped around a central point.

got some intel about the research that was going on aboard the lab ship, secured a rabid Vargr scientist, incinerated some rabid rodents and a wolf-like creature and found some nice equipment and combat drugs.
The really dark discoveries are still to come, maybe in 2 weeks. 🙂

We've just finished the second session of "Death Station" for #TravellerRPG. Since we only play ~2h every 2 weeks online, progress is a bit slow. But that's the best we can do with jobs, families and adult life.
Anyways, my players have searched the main lab, got access to the research computer,

Or it's not r* enough for Elmo. ;-)

Deep Space Adventures @deepspacerpg.bsky.social · 9d

Cool, thanks. The Hunt for Sabre IV was the first Traveller adventure I ever run.

Deep Space Adventures @deepspacerpg.bsky.social · 10d

The german edition is more or less a 1:1 translation of The Traveller Book with some supplements already included. Only the cover art is different.

Deep Space Adventures @deepspacerpg.bsky.social · 10d

I've googled the spanish version and it really looks amazing!
The japanese cover art is also beautiful. 👍

Which scenarios did you play? Anything that's available? I'm always looking for non combat stuff.

But I own the German translation of classic Traveller almost completely 🙂
