Re: Belis: Magic in Spaaaaaaace!
No, questions are great. Ask away; I find it incredibly helpful.
Hmm....I'm thinking fairly common, depending on the destination. Interplanetary travel between planets in the same system is definitely easy; you don't need an alternating flux to do it. Depending on where you're from and where you're going, interstellar travel should end up being fairly easy, too. You're not going to catch people from Rayunta taking a quick jaunt out to a star system controlled by Moret, but the expenses aren't prohibitive. Some places will use large scale pink filters, but it's difficult to impossible to find the manhours to do anything on the scale of a city, much less a planet.
The history of Belis looks good, although I'm curious about its relationship with Velikan: have the early attempts at imperialism by some nations permanently colored its view of Belis as a whole? It seems like if the Moret Empire initiated war and Rayunta or whoever made attempts at diplomacy, that could actually push the giants towards allying with those offering aid. Or is it just that the current leader of Velikan is nationalist and dislikes any interference with the nations of Belis?

Re: Belis: Magic in Spaaaaaaace!
So I would assume there are factions in Velikan that disagree with this view, or consider it overly simplistic, it's just that they don't have enough support to make a difference? Are natives of Belis required to be fugitives if they want to travel to Velikan?

Re: Belis: Magic in Spaaaaaaace!
Just rewrote how spaceships work. Decided that the Ethereal Plane gets a lot smaller away from masses on the Material Plane, meaning that if you move to it, the distance between two planets is much, much smaller than it would be on the Material.

Re: Belis: Magic in Spaaaaaaace!
Did you add Bauth, too? That's kind of interesting to me, just in that a nation presumably without any Doctorate-level and probably not many Magistrate-level gramarists is capable of holding its own (in that it hasn't yet been wiped off the map) against the highly industrialized Empire. I suppose they must have quite a few high-level casters, but if it can keep a hold on its territory without gramarie, it seems like it's just begging for a single charismatic scientist to come in and turn it into a force to be feared throughout the universe.

Re: Belis: Magic in Spaaaaaaace!
Yeah, I added Bauth in. Right now it's a tossup between "Moret doesn't care that much" and "Bauth has incredibly powerful casters" as to why they haven't been subjugated yet. Possibly both. If it's at least the second one, I was considering having it be the bastion between Moret and the rest of the unnamed continent.
It occurs to me that I should probably upload (and work on) a map. Know a good mapmaker?
EDIT: I'm running a game to flesh the world out. IC is here, and OoC is here.Last edited by RFLS; 2015-04-09 at 04:32 PM.

Re: Belis: Magic in Spaaaaaaace!
I had a GM once who used this, just setting the specifications and randomizing it until he found one he liked. Might not work for you, though, since you have specific ideas about the continents.

Re: Belis: A Pathfinder Magipunk/Cyberpunk setting.
If your still looking for a cyberpunk setting honestly I would look no further then Shadowrun. Its history is well documented and with little effort can be found online and the progression away from political barriers into the realm of the more economic is realistically plausible you see the nations still holding sway over land but the major decisions tend to fall in the court of corporations. Megacorps are just a different kind of political influence.

Re: Belis: Magic in Spaaaaaaace!
Question on Rayunta: Where would Ratfolk fall on the social status spectrum? Above Tengu, below Grippli? Equal to Rakshasa? This is mildly important for the backstory of my Scientist character in Rise of the Warforged. I'll restate this question in the recruitment thread.

Re: Belis: Magic in Spaaaaaaace!
I have a question about Et'riso. Has the star actually exploded yet or merely ballooned? If it has exploded Et'riso will be so far away from the resulting white dwarf that it will probably need some sort of magic to hold onto enough heat to be habitable.
Also, about Loirr. I'd suggest making it water rather than liquid methane. If the aboleths live in liquid methane then they are almost completely uninteractable, their blood would boil at anything resembling our temperatures while from their perspective we would have liquid rock for blood.

Re: Belis: Magic in Spaaaaaaace!
Just ballooned. I edited the post to clarify that just now; thank you.
