The GMs have recently been discussing our manifest composition, specifically the prevalence of hybrid race and custom species characters. It's been a long-standing tradition on our game that we allow for the creation of unique non-canon species as well as hybrid characters. We want to preserve this.

Tunguska event
FYI today is the 112th anniversary of the largest recorded impact (though some might say it was Tesla).
Yes larger ones in prehistory, but we are talking recorded.
So happy big BOOM day!

While the article says not actual black hole, the electrons seem to disappear from existance.

The universe just got a whole lot weirder
And you thought that quantum mechanics was as Einstein stated, “Spooky action at a distance,” then my favourite quote from ‘Jurassic Park’, “Hang onto your butts.”
Most of us have heard about quantum entanglement. It is that odd property in which two quantum systems meet and entangle then even across…

Sad news indeed
Well I am sure many of you have already heard but yesterday Professor Stephen Hawking passed away.
Just out of interest he was born exactly 300 years after the death of Galileo Galilei and died on Pi day.
RIP Professor and thank you for you brilliant insights.
