I'd like a way to model a planet with a axis tilt of 102 degrees. If someone knows of some software, or a website or even can break down the information I'd appreciate it.

There's no good place to ask this question so I'll have to ask it here.

I'm playing around with unique ideas for constructing strange virtual worlds.

One is having a planet's axis rotating pretty close to 90 degrees. (Think Uranus).

Even assuming everything else is the same. (Same time to rotate for a day, same time to go around the sun, still within a star's habitable zone etc)

How would you properly map what both the terrain and seasonal environment would be like?

I know "generally" what it would be like; equator a little colder than the poles. Rotating temperate areas that would be see the sun for half a year (or be without sun for half a year)

But I'd like a better way to model it. So if you know of any way to provide better detail, I'd appreciate it.

As an aside. I am constantly amazed by how even a small change to one celestial detail we take for granted every day drastically changes how a world develops.

Thanks!

So I realize before the magic item creation formulas you need to try to price using an existing magic item as a base. This solves some problems:

Doodad of Constant Mage Armor = 16,000gp (Bracers of Mage Armor +4)
Ring of Fast Healing 3 = 300,000gp (See epic magic items)
Bracer of Constant Shield Spell = 16,000gp + broach of shielding

But there's some I need some help pricing for equivalency. (Assume all items below are at will/constant no special requirements to use, like spell trigger)

- Gloves of Magic Missile Each Round = ??
- As above but 9th level version
- Gloves of Fire Orb each round (I mainly want a comparison for auto hit vs ranged touch attack)
- Sword of Permanent True Strike
- Bag of Infinite Summon Monster I (3 rounds version vs 10 round)
- Cape of Unlimited Command
- Produce Flame Gloves
- Protection from Evil Vest
- Cure Light Wounds at Will
- Ring of Ill Omen at Will
- Boots of unlimited Expeditious Retreat

I find the largest issue is with the low level spells, particularly 1st level, as you can produce some insane effects for cheap.

As an aside, I wish one of the official sites did put up example pricing for some of these more contentious items. It's not like I'll be the first or last to ask about unlimited magic missile, cure light wounds or true strike.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I'm cross posting this on a few sites to build awareness, but more importantly to get feedback.

I've just put out an app call "RPG Trek" for Android. The purpose of which is to make the whole travel part of fantasy role playing games more fun. (Some DM's are great, but I've more often seen this part drag.)

The app costs a few dollars. And I already think it's worth more than that to those who need it. I still think it can be improved a lot.

So from you guys, I just need to know hang-ups (boring moments) you have when doing in game traveling. So if this just becomes a thread about how to spice up travel, great! If you did download RPG Trek, also great! But tell me what kind of features you'd like to see. I have version 1.1 in the works, and I'd love a big thick list wishlist for 1.2 and beyond.

Thanks guys!
