OK, I've had the beginnings of an idea for a space campaign and I'm part way through rolling up the first of the two minimum habitable worlds in the system (It's going to look a bit Steam-punk Firefly I think) but I've run into a problem.

The generated gravity comes out at 0.6607 G, now a nice low gravity is good for some of what I want to do (I think) but this is supposed to be the human home-world in this setting and could cause problems, chances are that any other world will have a higher gravity, and putting the gravity this low means that I can't use normal 1G humans to hopefully reduce complications.

I was thinking that I could up the gravity to 0.81G and rule that everybody has a home Gravity of 1G, is this a bad idea or not?
