Author says: "Architect of Worlds is what happens when the guy who wrote three different solar system/planetary generation systems for GURPS is told he doesn't have a word count and spends 7 years tracking every paper on exoplanet systems he can find."
[ I have a copy and am impressed by the detail. More importantly author includes citations of original scientific papers ]
@nyrath Pre-order, doesn't tell you whether what you're buying is print or PDF, and the publisher doesn't even have the basic manners to put the author's name on the cover unless you happen to know that "Zeigler" is a name, and even then it's squashed down next to the larger print telling you who the publisher is. I really want this book because I really like Jon's work, but oh boy I wish he'd picked a different publisher.
@RogerBW@nyrath I notice the difference in spelling, but is there any chance this Jon Zeigler is also John Ziegler who submitted How Prince Quisborne the Feckless Shook His Title to IFComp 2023?
@nyrath
It’s hands-down the best I’ve seen. I don’t think you can do much better without running fairly advanced simulations, or at least doing math that’s more complicated than will fit in a book like this.
