The new strech goal is pretty...

To be fair, the Baby Boom was a direct result of two World Wars. It was never sustainable in the first place.

I am unfamiliar with the population records of the various European settlers in any of the associated colonies, but i am certain that is absolutely the place to look at for the growth rates for these interstellar colonies. Admittedly, there are additional variables to consider (resources prepared in advance, the lack of a native populace to trade/steal from) that make a significant difference.

Tease.

I'm looking forward to it.

(Seriously though, thank you and everyone else who worked on it.)...

Not entirely disagreeing, but nova-tech is used in the manuscript as a term separate to Q-tech, the divide between the two primarily being 'Inspired' tech vs Powered Tech, but it does mention that nova-tech can be reverse engineered, unlike Q-tech.

Just pointing out that terminology here can get really fincky....

You understand that I am agreeing with you, right? Lex is wrong, objectively and humanity as whole is meant to raise above that in Trinity 2e.

The point I was trying to make is the illusion that Lex has a point is stronger in Trinity than in DC. Especially as people like to have quick and simple answers rather than suffer through 'wasted' time. The fact is, his argument, while false and logically inconsistent can resonate in-universe because it can feel like only the Inspired can make lasting changes in a reasonable amount of time, because you can see it. Researchers can get discouraged...

Actually @Lian about an hour after I posted that I remembered that 'true' baselines are limited to the Advanced Science category of Super Science in Trinity. While this doesn't stop advancement from occurring, it does limit both the scope and the impact of baseline science. Reverse engineering hyperfusion novatech is definitely important and will matter but you won't really get the credit. Plus what original research will top the end of the energy crisis? And can you do it before a Mega-inventor does?
It sounds like a lot of pressure to me. Combined with the fear of aberrants when we get...

And noetic (psi) 'devices' that shows up in Aeon Æxpansion. Psions and Psiads are required to develop these technologies....

[FallenEco]

You are correct. I had forgotten about that one as I was unable to read it when it was released and I haven't picked up the trades yet. Still, that makes two. Two and a half if we count Red Sun which is a tad trickier to determine....

I mentioned on the Mage Resource thread, but...Is still relavent.

Not confirmed or released but, that Clade Companion in the Deviant KS looks pretty useful.

[FallenEco]

Fun fact; the most recent stretch goal announced is equally useful for Werewolf, Mage, Geist and Demon.

You know the part where it gives guidelines for creating Numina.

Though to be fair, the parallel worlds described do also sound applicable to Mages and Demons.

[FallenEco]

Is there a description of Wavering Touchstones anywhere? I can't really tell the difference between Faltered and Wavering without it.

First (and I do apologises for starting off on a tangent) Lex is a an egocentric who wants to be worshipped.

But I thought Firanai wanted to discuss the merits of his slander/excuses. The fact that Lex is at best deluding himself in regards to his own 'reasons' is immaterial. Lex Luthor is a murderous criminal, that is not in question.

Second; within the context of basically all DC iterations, Lex is objectively wrong. While the various DC futures have issues (sometimes giantic ones) none of them can be traced to Superman's actions. The only one I can think of that explicitly...

Aeon. Page 130. It is a path restricted Edge (Nihonjin Agent); though naturally the Superior Origin paths can also access it.

Edit; seems a Nihonjin Agent got there before I did......

[FallenEco]

Socialize is where a lot of it is, so missing some charms in other abilities that belong to a splat he isn't playing seems easy enough to do by mistake....

Just wondering; where did it say Superiors were Quantum-aligned. The Æpansion doesn't say that, (and implies that the 1 in 4 survivors who aren't Jinketsu become Talents). I think we got the idea from the comments section of the Kickstarter but I'm concerned that was just a piece of gammon that I helped spread.
