if this is to be a game resource NOT connected to the RW then what system to use? GURPS? (if so what edition?). Also there are huge differences in the...
This site will not use any rules as such. It will be generic. If you want to use RWRPG, Traveller or Gurps then use them. This site will also be a resource...
Cool, I'm starting to see what you have in mind; mini-essays, maps, images, adventurehooks that kind of thing? Have you thought about templates to help people...
For the time being don't worry too much about templates - just extract the information on the subject you wish to write up about. It can be a notable ...
I was suddenly snowed under again at work today gotta pull an 18h shift tommorow and work most of the weekend so the final version of the water skis will be a...
How would a kzinti perceive colour? (That's "color" for any Americans reading this). A player in my current RPG game suggested a form of gambling involving ...
Actually - this is a good point. Cats probably have very good peripheral vision wouldn't they? But as you pointed out have to remember that Kzin are not...
My partner is in visual neuroscience research so I sent the question her way. She is however rather specialised in human vision but you never know... Care2...
i would like to imagine that kzinti would be more of what we would call "color blind"- unable to see greens and blues against each other. why would they have...
I like your idea - "colour-blind" kzinti makes sense! The answer to your question about the Kzinti sky will be in "Cathouse" by Dean Ing, or the follow up,...
David, Hmmmm. These are really good points. THe minimal research that I have been able to do (via the internet) suggests that big cats see colour, but can be...
Hi all, I talked with Liz yesterday about kzinti vision. Liz is in visual neuroscience and I'm straddling molecular biology and development with a long term...
Carl, My thanks to you and to Liz. There is lots to think on in this post. I think we're getting there. I need to re-read the source material this weekend to...
This has been a really interesting thread. Here's my twopence worth. A point I don't think has been mentioned yet is that the colour range of Kzinti vision...
You might want to have the Kninti have more diffrent words for oramge in their language if they see more orange colors on their homworld and have them more apt...
i like the one about being able to see into the infra-red. that would mean having cones that were more sensitive to that wavelength. the question that still...
Not sure about redder hotter light - our sun doesn't glow green. We also have red foliage in this world with chloroplasts which pick up different wavelengths...
By the way - isn't a red star cooler than Sol? Hotter suns would glow white or blue? Planets have to be closer to Red suns (which may be larger as well) to...
Good points though warm hot colours to us is a subjective label. These colours are cooler than white and blue. If the term cooler can be used here - as...
I was thing of another thing to think about regarding Kzinti and how they view color that has come out in some of the posts. Do all Kzinti have the same type...
Watch your eye size there's something about the physics of mammal type eye that stops them getting too big a whale has and eye about the same size as a horses....
Despite our everyday experience 'hotter' light is more blue not red. I seem to remember Kzinti homeworld being cooler than EArth. Has anyone seen a star...
The colour of leaves is refected light so what you see is the light than is not absorbed and wasted. If leaves are orange probably more to do twith which metal...
I have the 'guestimate' formulae for this stuff. Care2 make the world greener! http://www.Care2.com Free e-mail. 100MB storage. Helps charities. Make a...
Kinda yeah there are a number of pigments involved but they are not called 'chromatin'. My research group studies chromatin which is DNA plus the protiens that...
I wouldn't think there'd be time for natural evolution or even selective breeding for these kind of differences since the kzin got civilisation, (I don't buy...
