2026 is the 21st century, while the 1901 is the 20th Century. This is an important thing to keep in mind when you mention the 22nd century which means 2100-2199 and the 23rd century which is 2200 to 2299 and the “default” Interstellar setting of 2300 onward. Where we are able to “Jump” into the Alpha Centauri A-B L1 (Lagrange point 1).
Clearly I will first Finish the Character Creation App https://github.com/Game-in-the-Brain/cecharactergen with Claude, Kimi and AntiGravity but before that I have to clean up the Mechanics and the Setting Timeline.
Ive developed a simple technique – I will use the AI to feedback my writing. I just have a Prompt that is instructed to help me meet my writing sytle Objectives and Parameters. Its instructed that the audience is for a TTRPG settings book that is trying to make Science more accessible. I plan to write everything – except that an AI is being my “Rubber Duck” and Giving me feedback making sure my headspace doesnt drive me insane. I’m told by my friend the ANTI-AI group would not appreciate this – although I realize thats why I made my Books and Materials not exclusive to DrivethruRPG and I have a plan to marketing my products outside such platforms. This is crucial to my writing so I dont end up in a block, and the Scope Creep when discovered can be part of my “Backlog/RoadMap”
The Timeline is important – the timeline which is checked against the Tech Level and the Inflation Table. The inflation table is the natural inflation from Ancient to Present and Future Times help explain how Credits came about and the desire to work in Space when 1 credit is worth over a 1,000 usd. What happens when owning hundreds of tons of material is typical for a prospector or a worker in LEO and in CIS Lunar Space. Describing in detail the economic forces that lead to a different standard of living.
I was able to start again working on Under Heaven. It’s just that I have to re-organize a lot. Example, I am moving Nano-Tubes to late 2200s, there were a lot of Graphene reinforced construction and materials but nano-tubes weren’t mass producible into cables well until late 2200. This moved Space elevators much farther.
I am using the cost to LEO as a measure of progress from 160M usd / kg (of 2020 usd) in the 1960s to Falcon and Falcon super heavies 2000 usd per KG in the late 2010s. Of course, the huge engineering challenges for everyone else to catch up. Cost to LEO and KG per 1000 flight km – as blended body and material sciences allowed for better efficiency and eventually electric Aviation.
Technology and the Timeline is important before I go into the details of Character creation which requires me to bring up the controversial and illegal genetic engineering of Low G humans in the late 21st Century. Particularly, in light of the Genocide after WW2 – happens it’s just that Pedos and Countries interests.
The 2020 to 2040s major disruptions particularly the Wars, Climate and Humanitarian Crisis and the 2040s to 2070s rebuilding – I need to detail how it affects regular people and the tragedy that will affect everyone. And of course, the frustration that people will vote and behave according to propaganda that teaches dehumanization despite being the ones affected by it.
