Hard Maths: Content Posts - Page 2

I started a blog back in February to share all the random content. items and rules I made for custom settings, because I'm a perennial tweaker. After a period of inactivity over summer due to work, I'm back on the wagon again, trying to post twice a week to build up a habit. I've got no shortage of ideas, I'm just a perfectionist about my posts!

My posts tend to focus on science fiction and ultra-tech, not deliberately but just because I find it interesting and get lots of ideas. I do also have some fantasy and Infinite Worlds content kicking around though. Here's a small selection of previous posts:

Ars Mundi: Redpowder – A fantasy-tech/weird-science/superscience alternative to gunpowder that makes lasers instead of explosions. I give a way to modify the stats of existing firearms to use it, plus a discussion of it as a setting element.
Equipment Locker: Battlesuit Point Defence – A discussion of using light laser weapons mounted on a battlesuit as point-defence against missiles, prompted by the gut-crunching efficacy of small-calibre HEMP rounds against even milspec battlesuits.
Equipment Locker: Boser Weapons – Probably one of my most popular posts to date based on views, this is a discussion of how to make lasers that work with atoms instead of photons, inspired by Alastair Reynolds' novel Revelation Space, with statistics and a GURPS-style write-up.
Reliquary: Karpov Arms LBV-M47 – A Kalashnikov-style laser rifle that's impossible to break, built with Pulver's Blaster and Laser Design system.
Utility Closet: Armour Design Spreadsheet – A quick Google spreadsheet that collates all the surface areas, constructions and materials from the three parts of Pulver's armour design system in one place.
