Synth Appendix-N: Fantastic Comics' The Golden Knight

Another badass synth meets Appendix-N release from the Heimat Der Katastrophe label on bandcamp: The Golden Knight.

The Golden Knight is a hero featured first in Fantastic Comics #1, Dec 1939. I've been reading it and it's pretty firmly Appendix-N, including a dungeon exploration and plenty of "Migthy Deeds". 




As the description for the album goes:

the world in which he lives is a strange Middle Ages where the crusades and the space race are both popular activities. Despite his princely appearance, Sir Richard is a vagabond: under the guise of going to fight the infidels in the Holy Land, he wanders the world (and space) in search of adventure. He will never get to the Holy Land, but yes to the Moon. Have fun with Sir Richard!

 There's actually a limited edition physical release that includes a cassette tape, comics, and maybe some dice, but I found it unclear on how to order this if it isn't walled off behind a subscription service. Still, looks pretty cool:


If you can find a copy of the comics, and digital is most likely, go check these out! For added fun, give the album a listen while you read. Enjoy the journey!

Radioactive Diamond Batteries

I've recently been reading about Radioactive Diamond Batteries , and of course my first thought is always straight to Gamma World and Sci-Fi TTRPGs.  This tech is a gammavoltaic, powered by the radioactive decay of the nuclear waste housed within. Why diamonds? Diamonds are excellent semiconductors, and they also do a good job of containing the radioactive material so it doesn't leak out. Think of the diamond as both the conductor and the protective shell of the battery. The games that pop in my head every time I run across an article about these cells are Gamma World, Mutant Crawl Classics, and even Mothership. Nuclear waste leans hard into the irradiated science fantasy settings, and the long life is well suited for a functioning technological artifact. And frankly, it's got GAMMA in the name! There are limitations to this tech that keeps it from being "game breaking", and that is while the batteries last a very, very long time (up to 28,000 years!). They are ex...

Two takes on single-axis alignment

General Take Lawful Lawful characters see themselves as aligned with order, the forces of justice, and authority and may consider others who do not as "chaotic" Despite the tendency of subscribing to ideologies such as humbleness and respect, they may knowingly, or otherwise, express distain for others who hold beliefs that do not align with thier own Appendix-N literature includes the Crusades series by Harold Lamb which heavily influenced the chivalric self-identity of the forces of "Law and Order" Chaotic Chaotic characters might not describe themselves as chaotic, much like you could imagine pagans would not identify with how monotheists portray or characterize them Chaotic alignment includes a plethora of different ways of thinking, being, worshipping, and behaving Chaotic ethics may be characterized by attention to the self and one's achievements, as well as an idealization of personal freedom and power Chaotic characters may actively oppose the establishe...
