Re: The Book of Siiv

Q for the designers: What was the inspiration for Arctorus? Wikipedia has a list of fiction using the planet, ranging from Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, The Hitchhiker's Guide, Aliens, and Mass Effect. Just curious what the biggest influence was, or more importantly who the biggest influencer in the SoV was?

Pretty much this - originally we were going to use another ubiquitous name, Rigel-3, for the new planet, but it eventually evolved into Arctorus. Siiv isn't even the unit we initially came up with a new planet for - that unit is still waiting to be completed.

Ahh.

Still, I think he best represents what Arctorus is.

Arctorus is a physical embodiment of imaginative nightmares? My mind is now blown.

Mega was talking about a unit, not Arctorus. Arctorus is just where the unit lives...

I meant it as a place of unique creatures and species that no one as seen before; each one stands on it's own and really doesn't have any ties to anyone else.

The new guy is really a terror on Arctorus and the only one of it's kind; IMO he embodies it well in HS. Be careful messing with him.

Re: The Book of Siiv

Arctorus is pretty big; it will have the most diversity of any planet eventually I imagine.

Re: The Book of Siiv

Shouldn't Quick Stab read "Small and medium figures cannot roll defense dice when attacked by Quick Stab Special Attack?"

Saying "may not" implies that the figure has to option to still roll defense dice, which I don't think was intended.
