This and That
This and that on Jaern:
Yes, I am unemployed still and quite bored.
Play with these numbers as you wish.
All Jaern numbers come from the chapter
on the planets.
All Geleia numbers come from my recreation
of the Dana Shea map of Geleia, and the
verbal fact that "it's about 800 miles
north to south". I calculated the
area of Geleia using the campaign
cartographer's area function.
Rougtero to Devon distance is based
on the fact that "Geleia is around the
world from Lojem" and Rougtero is
pretty much near the middle of old Lojem.
Now, if I can just find a physics book
with the Universal Gravitational Constant
calculations for large planets based on
diameter and rotational velocity....
