G'day all -
A question for planet generators ... how much do you cheat?
I'm in the middle of using The World Builder's Handbook to detail up Wardn
(in the goodole Spinward Marches) and have ended up with a world orbiting
a giant type M star (which means a year of something like 160 standard
years) and an axial tilt of 40-odd degrees (which means mondo extremes
of temperature through the seasons). Only snag is, the base temperature
is a bit on the high side. Using Book 6 I could fiddle with the albedo
values toget a nice temperature, but I haven't gone into WBH in enough
depth to get a good feel for how much I can stretch things.
As an aside, what do people think of the chances of indigenous life (not
necessarily intelligent on a world orbiting a Type M giant?
