@deinol Thanks! Also I searched and found this review which I found helpful for understanding what Cepheus Deluxe is like:

I wasn’t going to back the D&D Traveller project because I’m not particularly happy with the World’s Largest team and I like Mongoose even less, but $350 for four books is ridiculous.

If I wanted to run Traveller more like D&D I’d hack Nimble, but I prefer a Frankenstein made of Classic, T5, and Cepheus anyway.

In trying to explain Traveller to the OSR discord I spent way too much time on this chart.

Short answer: support indie creators there’s awesome stuff in the Cepheus space. And this is the tip of the iceberg.

This is NGC 2276 -- a beautiful spiral galaxy located in the #constellation #Cepheus

We covered the awesome #astronomy in this constellation last season--listen here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/cepheus-cosmic-background/

Sh2-171 – The Question Mark Nebula in Cepheus. A two-panel mosaic covering over 100 light-years of active star formation, powered by Berkeley 59 — a cluster just 2 million years old. Its O5V star BD+66 1673 burns at 45,000 Kelvin, sculpting the dark pillars visible throughout the frame. Processed in Hubble Palette (HSO).

Well -- I can't see Queens for #MythologyMonday and *not* talk about the most famous #queen in the #constellations -- Cassiopeia!

Queen Cassiopeia's claim to fame is that time she boasted about being more beautiful than the (50!!) Nereids & was promptly punished by Poseidon by way of flood/sea monster.

LDN 1235 (the Shark Nebula) in Cepheus, ~650 ly away. A dark dust cloud revealed by the Milky Way star field it extinguishes, with faint blue reflection near the head (vdB 149/150).

@ng76 I like the sound of the combat sheets! Do you have an example?

This is the charmingly named IRAS 23077+6707 -- a planet-forming disc located 1,000 LY in the #constellation Cepheus.

#TTRPG friends, what are your favorite Space Opera adventures, modules, and settings published in the last 10 years? 🪐

I'm specifically looking for space opera, not space horror like Alien or Mothership. I know those can be great, but I'm looking for a more Traveller-like vibe with trade, politics, high-tech, exploration, FTL space travel and the like 🚀.

Star colors in summer (and one autumn) constellations.

Camera intentionally defocused to make the stars into disks. Star colors are easier to perceive in larger dots, compared to tiny specks. All photos are a single exposure on a fixed tripod.

First photo is Cygnus.

Second photo is Aquila.

Third photo is Cepheus.

📸 Lynds Dark Nebula 1251
Also known as the Rotten Fish Nebula, LDN 1251 is a dark molecular cloud where stars are forming. It lies about 1,000 light-years away in Cepheus and spans over 25 light-years.

📸 NGC 6946 and NGC 6939
This deep-sky image shows two cosmic neighbors in Cepheus: open star cluster NGC 6939 at 5,600 light-years and spiral galaxy NGC 6946, The Fireworks Galaxy, at 22 million light-years. Over 68 hours of exposure reveal stunning detail and faint dust lanes.

Kosmic/Solis is a gritty, near future setting using accurate maps representing 3D space of 550 of the nearest star systems to Earth, Sol.

While the Prime Minister of Earth reads ancient poetry about "subtle boundaries" the people on the frontier find reality has a HARD EDGE.

Games I am excited about are Cepheus Universal and FTL: Nomad.

But I’m a sucker for Traveller like sci-fi games.

NGC 188

Magnitude 10.0 open cluster located 5,400 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. It lies far above the plane of the galaxy and is one of the most ancient of open clusters known, at approximately 6.8 billion years old.
