Nebulas both warp and colour the areas of space they fill. They will have an impact on the planets, stars and space stations within them and the spacecraft and the crew that travel through them.
The raw tables can be found below.
This is what the nebula is composed of, and how that material manifests in space. This composition will affect the way in which the nebula’s effect impacts those that enter the nebula.
This is the unusual effect the nebula imbues the planets, suns and space stations within itself with, and spacecrafts and crew that travel through it. Each effect has two colours associated with it, use these to describe the nebula. The first colour button is purely cosmetic, ensure you click both (there may be some colour double ups due to this being written for an upcoming pdf rather than digital buttons, just think of a new colour if you get two of the same).
Appearance:
Soft glowing clouds of shimmering mineral dust - strong impact to all.
Gas formed into interlocked swirling rings - impacts only some.
Granules of glowing plasma dust, diffused but sometimes clumped - impacts some more than others.
Wispy and reaching tendrils of light gas - impacts some at specific times.
Spinning sheets of thick blizzard like gas - impacts all but at different times.
Waves of thick then thin gas - impacts all in varying levels of intensity.
Strings of criss crossing tendrils of light gas - light impact to all.
Huge spherical globes of heavy gas - overwhelming impact to all.
Twirling, ever forming and receding tendrils of thick gas - oscillating impact to all.
Incredibly diffused, light and misty gas - weak impact to all.
Thick sheets of floating liquid - surging, increasing impact to all.
Ever receding plane of gas, dissipates on approach - initially strong, but fading impact to some.
Twinkling clouds of mineral dust - strong bursts of impact to all.
Blooming frozen explosions of gas flowers - slowly growing impact to all.
Cross crossing tendrils of liquid - alternates between impacting some then others.
Long flat planes of frozen metallic liquid - impacts only those that see it.
Swirling, interlocking circles of liquid - impacts at random, then spreads from impactees.
Firework like ever slow exploding gas clouds - a fast growing impact that erratically jumps from person to person.
Huge slowly imploding then reexpanding clouds of gas - strong impact to all that quickly fades and repeats itself.
Leviathanic gas clouds vaguely formed in the shapes of animals - incredibly strong impact to one random entity.
Flat, incredibly far reaching planes of dust - medium impact to all.
Flame like, roaming pillars of gas - medium impact to any that see it, then spreading from them to others.
Two claustrophobic flat planes of very thick gas - overwhelming impact to all.
Planes of mineral dust being consumed by aggressive clouds of gas - two alternating impacts to all, roll twice on effect table.
Huge spheres of thick gas, with calm internal spaces - soft impact accompanied by a calming of organic beings.
Erratic soup of swirling dust, gas and liquid - strong impact to all, roll three times on effect table.
Fading, dust like remnants of gas clouds - barely noticeable impact to all.
Glowing explosions of mineral dust - fast growing impact to some.
Hooked, claw like tendrils of gas - long lingering impact to all.
Shimmering, multi layered curtains and sheets of gas - two strong impacts to all, roll twice on effect table.
An ever thickening sphere of gas and minerals - impacts all, stronger closer to the centre of the nebula.
A central worm hole spewing out clouds of thick gas - impacts some, those impacting have an unbearable urge to leave the nebula.
Super thick, light blocking cloud of dust - overwhelming impact to some.
Swirling waves of dust - impact to all, delayed till once they leave the nebula.
Thick gas and dust clumped heavily around any large mass in the nebula - roll twice on effect table, strongly impacts all when nearby to planets, stars, space stations, etc.
An imploding star at the centre of the nebula is vomiting torrents of gas - impacts all, more intensely the closer to the imploding star one is.
Heavy clouds of dust drifting from d12 cracked, crushed and exploded planets - impacts some very swiftly.
Extremely thick soup of dust and minerals - strong impact to all, damages spacecraft that fly through it.
Thick dust, sometimes forming into boulders of stone - strong impact to all, danger and probably of impact with spacecraft in nebula very high.
Thick, swirling clouds of liquid - medium impact to all, liquid melts into spacecraft hull causing lingering impact to those inside.
