it appears that article XIII section 3.4 (page 262) of the zoning code bans all advertising entirely (is that true?)

Qamar The Federative Union of Qamar is a country in eastern Itaan. It borders Monnais to the north, Arkand to the south, and Delsin to the southwest. The Qamari region of the Irim Desert is the only location of naturally occurring emerald air. Its capital is Cadaz, a large coastal city home to the Qamar Historical Center. Qamar has a population of approximately 35 million. Roughly 5 million live aboard a few hundred landships in the Irim Desert with the remainder residing in coastal and desert waypoint settlements. Geography The Irim Desert, also known as the Qamari Desert, covers most of western and southern Qamar. Emerald air pockets appear at high altitudes over the Irim and are visible as green and cyan atmospheric light. The border region with Arkand is sparsely inhabited (except for Nu Ayzen, a minor Qamari city) and the exact border has historically been poorly defined. Oasis towns are scattered throughout the Irim, many of which serve as supply, repair, and waypoint stations for landships conducting aether-collection operations. Economy Much of Qamar’s economy is centered on the collection and export of emerald air. Since the late first century, collection is undertaken by town-sized landships that travel the Irim Desert following aether pockets. Landships operate scout planes to track the movement of emerald concentrations and tethered aerostats equipped with industrial compressors. The collected aether is pumped into tanks on the landship then taken to port towns for sale to brokers, who then export internationally.

Landships Qamari landships are self-contained mobile communities, each functioning as an autonomous town. A typical landship houses five to ten thousand residents and contains housing facilities, maintenance workshops, and commercial spaces such as shops, restaurants, and swordball courts. Each landship is internally self-governing, typically run by a council or captain-led administration. Landship governments maintain their own treasuries funded by taxing aether sales and are responsible for their own operational costs. Laws regarding ownership of on-board property vary. Some landships allow private leasing, while others directly operate their own collection operations or residential facilities. Most landships dock at oasis towns every few weeks for water, food, and repairs, and at coastal export cities at least once every season. Some landships are built for extremely high autonomy and can survive for months in the western Irim with no external contact. Government and Politics In practice, individual landships and oasis towns are largely self-governing, with the federal government working to coordinate the use of shared national infrastructure and directly administering some coastal cities. The Qamari Federal Air Service is a semi-militarized civil service agency. The Air Service conducts weather and communications patrols between oasis towns and landships and maintains a capable fleet of combat aircraft. Cooperation between landship security forces and the Air Service is limited, and Qamar does not otherwise have a standing army.

you can bring friends, join an existing organization, or claim your own. there's a low minimum time commitment, players are not expected to check in more than once a week and the game is structured to support that

i'm running an experimental real-realtime play-by-discord-message diplomatic role-playing game with simulated message travel time set in an expansive not-quite-steampunk world i've been writing about for the past few months.

travel forward is much easier: just phase out until the aether-time catches up to you

this model is intended for short jumps during active combat with no hidden information, but you can probably adjust it to allow for more roleplay. if you’re a DM, you can nudge the situation to simply ensure that B learns the information that A arrived with

the last option is that B dying creates a paradox such that A has to go back instead (creating a self-loop, but that’s a normal time travel trope). if they both die, [something bad happens] (mechanically i like ‘whole team takes paradox damage’)

B dies? we could say (as above) that A came from a different timeline but that feels less time-travel and more dimensional. plus then why does B even have to leave? i think the cooler answer is that B simply can’t die. knocked out and mortally wounded? sure. but time travel heals

B is wounded (or changed in some way)? A should have appeared with that wound, so we say either that time travel has healing properties or that A came from a timeline where she wasn’t wounded. this applies to ability cooldowns, stats, whatever other state a character has

this can be done in a game! mechanically, it’s a clone spell where the original disappears after a short time. the issue is that many things can happen between T1 and T2. Remember that B is fated to go back in time and A will continue.

A dies? no issue, coherent timeline

when both jennys reach T2 for the second time, Jenny B disappears back to T1, but Jenny A continues on. From her perspective, the path of one jenny is T0-T1-T2-T1-T2-T3. What does it look like as an observer?
0: One jenny
1: Another jenny arrives
2: the original jenny disappears

thinking about time travel in tabletop games. here’s one idea that i think mostly works. say you have Jenny A. at time T2, she travels back to T1 and meets Jenny B. since there are now two jennys between T1 and T2, everyone behaves differently (so no precognition). [cont.]
