It draws on some of the sources of Star Wars and Star Trek, but to some degree represents a road untaken. There are little glimmers of it in broader pop culture, like Blake\u2019s 7 (which has the flaw of being uniformly terrible writing), but it never achieved full recognition outside the Terran Trade Authority books. That lack of a mass media touchstone makes it a little harder to communicate to players, but more importantly makes it hard to communicate <em>between<\/em> players. That communication is the core of roleplay, and game design is quite a bit like creating a language and expecting others to speak it. It\u2019s no small order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our playtests continue at the xenophilia Discord, populated by <a href=\"HTTPS:\/\/patreon.com\/joshua\">the xenophiliacs!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"209\" src=\"https:\/\/glyphpress.com\/talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glyphpress.com\/talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/image.png 1080w, https:\/\/glyphpress.com\/talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/image-300x58.png 300w, https:\/\/glyphpress.com\/talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/image-768x149.png 768w, https:\/\/glyphpress.com\/talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/image-1024x198.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Modular systems are a function of industrial society.
