Default Re: New Year/New Setting: GURPS world design 'game'

Note: This post would probably be more appropriate for a Fantasy setting than a Sci-Fi one.

Just throwing out more stuff to see what sticks but in the equatorial regions we could have a human equivlent race. Then on each side as you get closer to the extreme temperatures you could have races appropriate for the extreme cold/heat (Thick fur or hide/Cold blooded, scales), and constant day/night (Eyes suited for very bright light/Eyes not using visible light).

Neither race would really have any understanding of what light/dark or hot/cold is except for the rare members of their race and their exchanges with humans who could facilitated trade.

Maybe neither race would want to go past (or maybe even get near) the twighlight zone the humans inhabit.

The two races meeting should be rare, and both races could set up trading posts near but not quite in the twighlight zone and have the humans travel to the posts to get the goods.
