"Using advanced analysis based on full genome sequences, researchers from the University of Cambridge have found evidence that modern humans are the result of a genetic mixing event between two ancient populations that diverged around 1.5 million years ago. About 300,000 years ago, these groups came back together, with one group contributing 80% of the genetic makeup of modern humans and the other contributing 20%."

My question: What are the ramifications for the Solomani Hypothesis here I wonder? Were the Ancients responsible or otherwise involved in this "genetic mixing"?

(My Villani-born geneticist would have had a field day with this!)

With great sadness we share the passing of Derrick Jones, a much-loved friend of BITS & the #Traveller #ttrpg community. Derrick passed away peacefully in his sleep.

He embodied the spirit of our community: welcoming, generous, & full of life. More than a gamer; he was a friend, a mentor & a constant source of encouragement & laughter.

He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.
We raise our glasses & our character sheets in his honour.

The Deepnight Revelation is used to being the most advanced thing in the star system, but this time they seem to be outclassed by alien megastructures in orbit around gas giants.

In the #TravellerRPG the standard unit of interstellar distance is the parsec - about 3.2 lightyears.

Now Traveller itself does not handle a whole bunch of real astronomical features at all well. For starters the official map of Known Space bears not the slightest resemblance to the actual observed universe.

This is all good and well. It's Just A Game, Relax.

But.

There is a part of me that looks at the Traveller star maps and wonders "Where are the nebulae, where are the open clusters?"

Well, I have an answer for you. One that does not require a single rule change. The maps simply record systems with potentially habitable planets (even if that might require pressurised domes or worse).

There are plenty of other stars out there, and with open clusters - some of which are dozens of parsecs across - it is very unlikely that there will be any potentially habitable planets around them. Typically you've got Hot Gas Giants, which are so close to their stars you'd be mad to try to approach one for refuelling. On the other hand, you've also got dozens of stellar bodies within fractions of a light-year apart, and often remains of the molecular cloud that birthed them. In a pinch you might be able to refuel from those clouds. And who knows what sorts of folks might hide something in such a place?

Then you've got your bright nebulae. Much of what I said about open clusters applies here, except you've also got protostars, and all sorts of junk floating around - sometimes only a few dozen AU apart.

All you need to do is take a highlighter to your subsector (or even sector) maps and draw a splodge in one of the empty areas. Use another colour for the clusters. No-one in their right mind goes to those sorts of places. But a misjump? Or tracking down a hidden pirate base?

Just make sure you've got the fuel to get out again - or you might have to risk wrecking your ship to refuel. And then where would you be?

Blog - Session 2 of the Jägermeister Adventure for the #traveller #ttrpg

TL;DR: Searches across Star Town for the fugitive, and a session truncated by internet issues.

#Introduction
Soy docente de ciencias en secundaria. Aficionado a la #astronomía y ramas afines. Si tengo tiempo me leo algún paper de #astrofisica. Oyente del podcast #coffebreak. Aspiro a tener un número en el MPC y aportar mi granito de arena a la defensa planetaria.

Disfruto de la ciencia ficción dura, aunque no niego unas risas de space opera. Juego al rol y a #Travellerrpg desde hace unos años. La bicicleta me parece el mejor medio de transporte creado por la humanidad.

Abogo por el software libre y he formado parte de un grupo de hardware libre.

Espero encontrar en esta plataforma perfiles que se dediquen a la ciencia y a la divulgación desde la investigación.

I was all set up for the next session of The Jägermeister Adventure when the hotel wifi decided it didn’t want to play. We got about an hour of play with lots of audio drop out. #travellerrpg #traveller #ttrpg

Fin de semana con 1a de las 2 aventuras de investigación enlazadas del suplemento Misterios en la Estación Arcturus para #TravellerRPG. ¡Obra valiosa que clama traducción!

The crew of the Deepnight Revelation get to celebrate in the new year of 1120, whilst dealing with hot shot pilots and union representatives from the overworked Engineering teams.

We played the first session of Moon Toad's 'The Jägermeister Adventure' for the #Traveller #ttrpg last night. Here's my notes (contain spoilers). #travellerrpg

We had a spectacular day of #TravellerRPG , with our big damn heroes committing a little light corporate espionage at the General Corp. Shipyard.

A rusted Kinunir-class hulk led to perilous interaction with a predator!

A mysterious Aslan femme-fatale enters the stage!

A quick look at what I've been doing in FoundryVTT for Mongoose Traveller. Mostly filling in character sheets for spacecraft, and tweaking the rules whenever I find something that isn't implemented yet.

The Deepnight Revelation comes across a world where there are remains of an ancient civilisation mostly lost to time. They also need to find a route to the Droyne world of Draytsirv which won't leave them stranded in the middle of nowhere.
