When learning becomes a price-tagged product like minced-meat, the meat-processing workers need to wear hair-nets and wash their hands after going to the toilet. It’s called “quality control”.

In The Veiled Age, explorers are defined by ideology first, tactics second. Path and Hidden Truths mark you with Veilmarks that shape what relics answer, what factions trust you, and how the world changes you.

RPG rulebook page titled “Chapter 7 – Cosmology of the Veiled World.” It explains a core setting conflict between two worldviews: “All is Alive” (animistic, interconnected, spiritually active, harmonious) and “All is Dead” (mechanistic, materialistic, technological, disenchanted). Each paradigm shapes how cultures, powers, and individuals see the universe. The page also outlines “Manifestations of the Cosmic Conflict,” including spiritual schism, suppression and resistance, and hybridization of beliefs. Page number 77 is at the bottom right.

What if early modern people were right about the strange things they believed… but wrong about why?

The Veiled Age is my speculative-historical TTRPG built from real histories, colonial records, and Renaissance philosophy.

A stylized map-inspired illustration in earthy tones. Twin globes representing the Old and New Worlds dominate the top. Esoteric symbols and arcane sigils surround them. Silhouetted figures at the bottom—ranging from kneeling to commanding—suggest an evolution of belief or power. A robed figure in the center holds a radiant staff. The image evokes mystery, ideological struggle, and mythic history.

Discover The Veiled Age: a historical-fantasy RPG where belief shapes reality—and resilience is your true skill.
Check out Design Diary #1 to explore the core premise and conceptual vision behind the system.

Good news für die Wissenschaftslandschaft Deutschland: schlechte Leistung wird bestraft. [Quelle: Wahlkreis 180 (Main-Taunus): Erststimmen - Stand: 19.58 Uhr] #BMBF

Naja. Trotzdem Glückwunsch an die @cducsueuropa.bsky.social

Couldn’t agree more. Colleagues from the #WEF compiled a really handy whitepaper “Blockchain Beyond
the Hype
A Practical Framework
for Business Leaders” - Link 🔗 : www3.weforum.org/docs/48423_W... We apply that logic to the R&D value chain. Together with some industry and regulatory heavyweights.

P.S. just give us a day-or-two with the webpage...

🔑 Why BioBlock?
✅ FAIR Data Valorization – Ensures open, structured access to research data.
✅ Tokenization of R&D – Blockchain + IP-NFTs protect intellectual property.
✅ Trust & Traceability – Transparent collaboration across academia, industry & government. Thoughts?

💰 Funding & Monetization – Traditional biotech funding is slow & centralized. Tokenized R&D contracts allow direct funding for projects via blockchain. 🚀 Think of it as bringing DeFi principles into biotech, making research secure, transparent & efficient. More below! 👇

🔒 Security & IP Protection – Sensitive research data & IP need trustless validation. BioBlock enables IP-NFTs to tokenize research, ensuring traceability & innovation protection. 🧪 Reproducibility – Immutable records reduce fraud, plagiarism & increase transparency in biotech.

Hi @gilman.bsky.social - Blockchain in biotech isn’t just about crypto—it solves key R&D issues. 🔍 Fragmented data: Researchers struggle to access/share datasets. BioBlock ensures FAIR data (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), making collaboration smoother. More below! 👇

🚀 Exciting news! As of today, I’m officially stepping into the role of Director of #BioBlock!

Excited to drive blockchain-powered biotech innovation and build the future of decentralized science! 🔬🔗💡
