Wormwood - What are the moons called?
I'm reasonably confident I didn't skim past it in the book, but can anyone tell me what the two moons orbiting Wormwood are named and where those names appear?

WW is a inside world. Inside a void in an otherwise solid.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.

No its not. It takes please on the surface of the living planet not inside it

It has moons?
Oh, that's rife with possibilities, including any moons being seeded with nascent Wormworld eggs(imagine the medieval Wormwooders having to travel into space to fight the Enemy for the future of an innocent worlding), or, if you buy into the idea of Wormwood being a deliberately engineered macro-organism, the moons could conceal the unsuspected super-technological monitoring stations meant to keep an eye on the 'project'....including failsafe systems and remedial measures.

Re: Wormwood - What are the moons called?
WW page 29 "...two orange moons appear in the dusty pink and orange skies of Wormwood."
Page 28 ART see moon.
As far as names? I'll look.
EDIT: Read most of book, did not see names.
I'd go with Angelic / Demonic moon names
*shrug*
Look again later. maybe it was said in the Rifter Optional WW stuff?

No mention of moons in Rifters; they focus on new OCCs and cities.

if you want to be clever, you could call them "absinthe" and "annua".. after two of the five species of Wormwood (genus Artemisia) on earth.

Ah, the Lovers' Moon, because Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.

Re: Wormwood - What are the moons called?
If I'm making stuff up, I am disinclined to make the moons eggs. A captured comet and a hibernating space organism are more appealing to me. I'll call them Fidelity and Perfidy.
A related question, if you were going to use a canon giant spacecraft for the crashed ship in the Unholy Desert, what would it be?

Re: Wormwood - What are the moons called?
easiest to use would be something from Phaseworld. plenty of options in that setting.
alternately you could create a custom ship using Aliens Unlimited Galaxy Guide, which might be less disruptive to the setting since AUGG ships would be SDC tech.
robotech could also be used.. even the small zentreadi scout starship is huge by most standards, and their big warships are practically mobile mountain ranges. and a Robotech Master's mothership is even bigger. (a human ship could also be used, i guess, but not only would the tech likely be more disruptive to the setting, the idea of the masters or zentreadi trying to figure out whats going on is a fun one)

I feel like we are doing the same thing, I have been working on Wormwood and dreaming up material for it too. Since my players are there so much.
As far as the space ship, my players haven't come across it yet, was thinking a few days ago they might. Don't know what I am going to have it be, but toyed with idea of having NASA written on it.

Plus they're big enough to host medieval military phalanx and pikeman formations in their halls, even cavalry charges....

Re: Wormwood - What are the moons called?
actually i was looking at the deckplans from the oldRPG's ghostship module.. the main hanger bay of the salan scoutship is almost big enough to stage the whole Battle of Five armies from the hobbit films in.. certainly its big enough for Helms Deep. a Zent flagship's main bay is almost big enough for the Battle of Pellenor Fields..
