Alpha Cephei (α Cep, α Cephei) is a second magnitude star in the constellation of Cepheus that is relatively close to Earth at only 49 light years. It has the traditional name Alderamin, an Arabic name meaning "the right arm".
Alderamin is a subgiant or a dwarf of spectral type A7 IV-V, its absolute magnitude is 1.58 m. The mass of the star is about 1.9 times the mass of the Sun, while the diameter is 3.5 million kilometers. This star has a surface temperature up to 7600K, its luminosity is 18 times larger than the sun.
Around the year 7500, due to the precession Alderamin will take place the North Star on the celestial sphere.
Alderamin is a sun of Ortix. Inhabitants of the planet call it the Cold Star. Tts name come from the fact that it is much farther from the planet than our sun. Although it warms Ortix as much as the Sun warms the Earth, but it's visible only as a small point in the sky. Its light is pale and cold.
This map was posted nine months ago on TS blog, but it's still most recent map of Ortix. Maybe some day I will make some cross section maps of moons and specific locations (i.e. Tombs of K'reen or Blackcrag).
This is a list of my greatest inspirations, both discovered now and years ago, when I just started my adventure with role playing games.
This list appeared earlier on my first blog, but now I have published the most recent version of it.
So I decided to start a new blog. Yay!
So what's the reason for the creation of this blog? It is very simple - I needed a place to publish my science fantasy / Sword & Planet materials created by me in the last fourteen years of playing. They will be (or alredy has been) adapted to the OD&D ruleset (or the old school RPG in general), because most of my works were created in an era when we when we played without any system of rules - we used only our imagination.
What is obvious, some of the rules will use the Terminal Space supplement.
As the first I will place here materials from my other blog, then I'll try to add new data as often as possible. Note: Remember that role-playing games are not my only hobby, so sometimes I can "disappear" for some time.
