I don't know if dcarson will play a 100% canonical
Space: 1889 game or not, he might want to tinker with some assumptions to better suit his sense of verisimilitude, high adventure or something else.
In any case, I was wondering in a more general sense, as in what the plausible physical effects of such a setting would be. Nevermind
why Venus or some other world is like that, just, if it was, what would be the effects, in terms of reality and GURPS rules.
Luke, of course, has provided some guidelines, but I'm still unsure what the effects would be on a fire-using, metal-crafting human culture. Or if these conditions might perhaps be exactly the justification a world needs to be stuck in an eternal Stone Age society of barbarian pterosaur-riding hunters with flint spears and stone axes?
