Drow Nobles of Menzoberranzan

Drow Nobles of Menzoberranzan

First thing I did was track down all the noble houses of Menzoberranzan

>https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Houses_of_Menzoberranzan

and put them in order

>https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_drow_houses

So Baenre is of course number one but then going down from there, the list is based on houses that were originally above others (they move around a lot), so Oblodra is House 3, but they didn't stay there very long before being mostly destroyed and taken off the list. But my goal isn't to get the most accurate list, it's to get a list of pretty much everyone, so Oblodra stays number 3 for the purposes of this list which means other houses that otherwise would have been higher are now lower for all the destroyed houses above them. The ranks also fall apart a bit towards the very bottom.

The goal is to run a campaign in Menzoberranzan where players get to see the history happen, so when Oblodra is destroyed (maybe the players will help with that, maybe they'll prevent it from happening) either way, they'll hear about it in game. Assuming my players don't have an in depth knowledge of Menzoberranzan beyond Drizzt and Jarlaxle.

I rolled randomly to see how many nobles each house had, based on the known number of nobles in the houses around it in rank.

But then the next thing I did was google every single drow noble in Menzoberranzan that belonged to any of these houses and gave them combat levels. Some it was easy, they already have levels listed, but most I just made up. Sometimes I would make up the level based on something, like if it said that someone was killed by a Glabrezu, ok so that person probably has a lower level than a base Glabrezu CR. That sort of stuff. If a drow had finished school, I assumed at least level 5. I also took notes as I read through, anything that I could affect a character's combat ability, but that was secondary to just finishing the list.

Anyway, many of the numbers are made up so not canon, so if it's not useful to you please ignore, but if anybody wants my take on Menzoberranzan noble stats, here you go! It will still need some homebrew work to get everything put together but hopefully someone will find it useful.

Faster than light travel via relativity?

So I know you can't travel faster than the speed of light, but does that apply from a relativistic perspective? I'm trying to understand the Lorentz Factor.

Assuming infinite energy. Obviously that will be a physical constraint regardless.

Like, if I'm going to the nearest star system that is 4.25 light years away but going .866% the speed of light, do people on earth see me get there in 4.91 years but from my perspective only 2.45 years have passed?

If that were true, I would be able to go .979% of the speed of light, get to where I'm going, come back, and then watch myself land there (with a hypothetical telescope capable of looking at something 4.25 light years away) three years later?

That can't be right, so it must be that, traveling 4.25 light years at .866% c I must see the trip as taking 4.91 years whereas for people on earth it looks like it takes 9.82?

The main thing I'm wondering is, with hypothetically infinite fuel, ignoring limitations of the g force of accelerating to near light speed, if I was traveling at .99999999999% of the speed of light, add a couple 9s as necessary, could I reach the edge of the observable universe within my lifetime?

Schwartz’s theory of basic human values: Alignment Chart?

I was watching a youtube video about discipline and goals and they mentioned Schwartz’s theory of basic human values, which is pictured above.

It reminds me very much of the dnd alignment chart with (generally) "Self Enhancement" being "Evil"; "Self Transcendent" being "Good"; "Conservation" being "Lawful" and "Openness to Change" being "Chaos".

And there's no such thing as not having any values so "True Neutral" isn't a thing. I never knew what to do with that anyway.

Thoughts?
