Nyrath Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 http://universesandbox.com/ Windows software, sort of a solar system simulator. Not directly useful to a campaign, but you can use it to make some killer eye-candy as campaign window dressing. "...and now players, after you've hacked into the Imperial computers you see the following classified file {runs Universe Sandbox simulation their computer}. My goodness, it's a simulation of the MacGuffin System. Oh, no, what's happening to the planet orbits? Yikes, its a black hole! Now players, what are you going to do with this explosive information, hmmmm?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Re: Universe Sandbox Can it show the position of the planets at a future date? I can make good use of that if I run my campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraven Kor Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Re: Universe Sandbox Yeah this program is awesome. Though, it is a pain in the rear to actually design your own systems or anything - I was trying to figure out a good setup for a habitable world in a binary system for a writing idea I had and it was about 7 hours of watching my planet alternate between plunging into the sun or flying off into deep space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
