First there were archetypes with limited skill choices. Then it was just skills. Now what remains are Interfaces. Today, how character sheets will work.
Extraterrestrials and Humanity
You may have noticed that the released information so far is a little light on information about the nature of the extraterrestrials in the game.
What happens at games
The first thing to mention is that we are still working on the game and this isn’t an area we’re really prepared to talk about in final terms yet. But it is something we’ve been asked about a lot, so here’s some basics.
Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology in No Heaven is a pervasive part of the setting. It’s everywhere from the weapons, armour, and clothes you wear to your blood vessels.
Look and Feel – The Federated Langrangian Colonies
Busy busy busy… but here’s a first look at the Federated Lagrangian Colonies, the third and final culture in the No Heaven setting. Sorry for the lack of post last week – everything got away from me.

Look and Feel – The British Dominion of Mars
Look and feel is a tricky one to cover while we’re still writing our cultures and nations and developing the game as a whole. However, the culture we’re furthest forward with is The British Dominion of Mars, and we can show you what we’re thinking for general look and feel there.
