The Howling Passages (named for the atonal howl of the winds blowing through these caves) have been used on-and-off by smugglers for years.

Someone else built the understructures, and there are no hints remaining today as to their purpose or builders.

Finally launched my #FateCore space campaign. I'm the GM, but it seemed appropriate for me to make a character too. My high concept: passive-aggressive uplifted capybara. Also involved: two disgraced scientists, a stowaway underage bartender, a cyborg assassin, a space accountant, and a starship made by strapping two submarines together.

I asked the players in my upcoming #FateCore space campaign to tell me about their ship. One suggested a converted wet navy freighter, echoing the Yamato. I proposed a #submarine, which would open up the possibility of underwater adventures. Of course, since "down" would now be the stern of the ship rather than the ventral side, some interior redecoration is in order...

Naturally, @nyrath has already passed through this territory:

Hey everyone. I've created another Mastodon account over at @DaveOfThings@mastodon.technology.

It seems qoto.org, my first home on Mastodon, is cut off from much of the Fediverse, so I had to find an alternative.

I've tried to re-follow everyone from the new account. Unfortunately, I can't see some of my new qoto.org friends from there. Anyway, give the new account a follow if you'd like to stay in touch.

Oreney’s Watch

Old crumbling stoneworks around an ancient bridge and watch tower on a small tributary of the Alaric.

Known as Oreney’s Watch after the ranger who saved countless lives reporting the Brightbone Ravagers moving into Pantesh.

This has to do with the Content Security Policy interfering with self-hosted scripts. There are good reasons for doing this - in particular, some types of files users upload, like SVG images, can contain arbitrary JavaScript. I think the MathJax code just needs to be added to whatever whitelist exists for necessary scripts, but I'm not sure how to do that (and it's probably @freemo who has to make the change anyway).

I tested this by disabling CSP in my browser (Waterfox preferences security.csp.*) temporarily - but I do not recommend this as a permanent workaround for reasons outlined above.

We were given a pretty e6b mechanical computer.

Looks like this server is blocked by a number of other servers for being federated with fascist or unmoderated servers. ugh.

So, if one were crazy enough to build a mobile forward operating base, what might one call it?

Flying citadel? Floating fortress? Hoverdreadnought? Why-the-fuck-don’t-we-just-land-this-on-the-enemy?
