Flavor of Tharstradt 000

I've been thinking about making quests and supplemental material for Tharstradt, my fantasy campaign run with slightly modified Savage Worlds mechanics. So I thought I'd write some stories and backstory here.

It was 990 in Tharstradt. Quite early in the year, frost was still covering much of the plains of East Flach, a southern province isolated by the Nenalta and Saltshimmer rivers from the rest of Tharstradt.

Benjamin Worldhorse and Graham Cedenach were on their way to the nearest Great Road station, two more days to go on foot. Ben had pasty white skin, was of middling height and slight build. Graham was an obvious immigrant to East Flach with birch colored skin, standing absurdly tall for anyone in the Flachlands at 6'10". The two of them were carrying tokens granting democratic rights to each of them called Seals of Citizenship. Their town of Gilurhall had pooled resources together and constructed each seal to the exacting specifications codified in the laws of the (long-winded) Independent Unified Socialist Democratic State of East Flach.

In the nearby University of Architects, located in the capital of East Flach called Greiton, several chancellors of the Engineering college had contracted mercenaries to locate missing Seals of Citizenship. Currently two seals from the town of Gilurhall, north of Wachterheim, were declared missing. The only available knowledge on the seals' whereabouts was that their owners, Ben and Graham, left much earlier than expected so that they could have time to explore the outskirts of Greiton. Yokels from all around typically had a fascination with the multilevel city.

Sick Chrome Rims for that Frozen Throne

Any community that is focused on a creative task is a great opportunity for learning life skills to do with cooperation and productivity. As a wee lad, I got dangerously deep into Warcraft III and its expansion The Frozen Throne. I played for probably thousands of hours and spent a a good amount of time in its modding tools. I produced very little playable content but learned a great deal about the logic of computer programming, the artistry of textures in video games, and how to overcome limitations like low-poly models. Having to learn about these topics and having experiences with them allowed me to participate in communities and learn about skill-building in incredibly formative ways. Classic Warcraft III. How I remember it. Limitations like low-poly models are really not that big of a deal in a real-time strategy game like Warcraft III. The more polygons you have, the more points of data are used to define the features of a three dimensional shape. Generally, you can j...

The Sky Is Falling

There are quite a few ways of getting a bleak look at the world in 2016. One is to follow the media's schizophrenic coverage of police shootings. Another is to look at the many awesome instances of uncontrollable deforestation and pollution that humans create. One can also just look to modern politics in the western world and assume that it's a hopeless mess. But don't worry! The world has been facing all of these issues for decades. Wait, that doesn't comfort you? Yeah, it doesn't help anybody who goes to a university to get an education in anything related to environmental science, ecology, or urban planning either. Environmental science curricula inherently focuses on solving or preventing damages to the environment, you spend most of your time looking at past failures as a result. Ecology is mostly in the same boat except even more complex and is often concerned with species that are facing extinction (or that have already gone extinct in the wild). ...

GPS Versus Landmarks

How much more precise are we thanks to Einstein and the development of rocketry? I've been taught that before the proliferation of the Navigation Satellite Timing and Ranging Global Positioning System (NAVSTAR GPS) when you took a sample from a site, such as aquatic invertebrates from a watershed, the standard procedure was to name the site as best you could which mostly meant putting the name of the body of water down or describing local landmarks. As I'm sure you can imagine, this just isn't a very precise way of marking where you took a sample from. As GPS the technology has developed and as the satellites that enable its precision have been launched into orbit in greater and greater numbers, resulting in greater and greater precision, policies have also enabled non-military use of GPS to be more precise by turning off civilian uses' selective imprecision. (You can read more about the history of GPS here .) The technology behind GPS is becoming so popular and wid...
